In British slang, an ''unhappy Teddy'' is a depressed soldier. The term was coined in the 1991 Gulf War.

Narrative: Most names began as simple expressions. Nothing demonstates this fact better than a comparison between Theodora and Dorothea. The only difference between these names is the order of the elements that make them up -- precisely the same as the difference between the phrases ''God's gift'' and ''Gift of God.''
