context1: Reflecting on the show in 2005, Lithgow remarked Jane was just perfect for it. She's a great comedy partner. She understands the role of a straight man; however, she also has a <strong>terrific</strong> streak of wildness herself so she creates this <strong>wonderful</strong> repressed character who occasionally spins out just as much as the aliens do.
context2: This term was coined by President Theodore Roosevelt, who referred to the White House as a bully pulpit, by which he meant a <strong>terrific</strong> platform from which to advocate an agenda. Roosevelt famously used the word bully as an adjective meaning superb or <strong>wonderful</strong> (a more common expression in his time than it is today); the term has no relationship to the noun bully, i.e. a harasser or someone who intimidates.
