-## Inline Block
+## Rescue Orphan
 
-The `u-inline-block` class sets the `display` property to `inline-block`. This can be used to discourage inline elements from breaking across multiple lines.
+The `u-rescue-orphan` class can wrap the last few words of a chunk of text, attempting to keep them together unless space limitations force a break. This can help reduce the chance of [a typographic orphan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widows_and_orphans) in some situations.
