Bevour, or Bevor 

A metal throat guard used by medieval soldiers. The word Bevour/Bevor loosly translates to "Dribble box", as the heat of the breath on the cold metal would cause condensation near the mouth. Comprised of a piece of metal that rested over the neck and onto the chest, with two or three pieces of metal that went up to the nose of the solder, articulating so it could fall down to the throat, mainly for breathing (known as a falling bevor). Also just simply metal all the way up to the nose, without articulation. Some would have a locking pin at the side, to prevent the articulations from dropping during battle.
The soldier flicked his bevor up, dropping the visor on his Sallet to lock them in place.

Before my life began (BMLB) 

Before my life began (BMLB) is from the “going full common playbook” of things a man can say when he is about to drop to one knee and put a ring on it! This phrase is also used when writing one’s own wedding vows to negate all of the “macking” you perpetrated before you met your wife — especially if old lovers are at the wedding and you want to throw a final elbow or two in their general direction. To use this phrase and sell it it, you must be at least 75% sincere AND say it with a straight face! After all you did invite ex’s to the wedding to make a point, didn’t you?
Him: Baby, none of them matter! That all happened before my life began (BMLB)
Her: Oh! When was that?
Him: When we finally surrendered to each other and fell in love

Now if you’re reading this and think it’s corny then you can’t pull it off. And if you can pull this off then go full Common and write your own vows because at some point you kissed the Blarney Stone!

That baby has been here before! 

That baby has been here before! — The recognition of worldliness in the eyes and posture of a baby or young child. This preternatural awareness indicates that the child hasn’t forgotten much between the death in the last lifetime and the reincarnation into this lifetime.

Though largely belonging to the religions of the book, African American Black culture, low key, accepts reincarnation as a metaphysical possibility.

Young boys who carry themselves in this way are given nicknames like “Half Man”.

They are also called Li’l + (a name). So there will be a Big Mike and a Li’l Mike, for example.

Most little boys named Michael are bad; and, little boys who attract bad boy names HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN HERE BEFORE.

People who fulfill this definition are charismatic and have a lifetime of adventures.

Interestingly, this behavior is encouraged in boys; but, not in girls which leads to predictably bad outcomes in both situations.

In the disco era, a song called: There but for the Grace of Gods described the birth of “…a little girl with a crooked smile” who does not come to a good end because she is smothered by overprotection.

The opposite of this is adventurous boys who end up at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Surviving these adventures whether you are a man or a woman earns you the moniker “Old Head” meaning: not only have you seen a lot; but you have lived to tell about it.

And maybe people should both listen to and learn from your experiences.
Li’l Mike only lets girls with big breast lift pick him up. That baby has been here before!
