It’s an acronym standing for Back Of Hand On Forehead. It goes back to the early silent movies where melodrama was the order of the day and the back of the hand on the forehead was used to indicate distress. Now, however, it is applied to those people, male or female, who are complete drama queens and who treat a small setback or minor difficulty as if it was the end of the world. In short, it is the epitome of overdramatic exaggeration.

Acronym standing for Back Of Hand On Forehead. Usually applied to those people, male or female, who are drama queens and who make major obstacles out of minor difficulties. It goes back to the old silent movie dramas where, when the villain had the heroine in his evil clutches, she'd go all weak at the knees and the back of her hand would go to her forehead. The epitome of overdramatic exaggeration.

Boof Broth 

(n): the chief delicacy of Georgetown Prep, boof broth is prepared by bottling the excess liquid which is expelled from the body during boofing, also known as butt-chugging, into an airtight mason jar. The liquid is then kept slightly above room temperature (72-76 F) for no less than three days or until the top layer has congealed. The membrane is then punctured so that the broth can be extracted from below.

The resulting boof broth is finally used as a substitute for chicken broth or served on its own.
