A marketing goal and methodology which involves elevating hype over substance; of imparting great value to the name whether or not the thing so named is worth anything at all.
Coca-Cola and Pepsi are successful examples of branding, even though the value of soft drinks and preferring one over the other is debateable.

(or branding) The intentional act of 'accidentally' marking someone during sex in order for their partner to find out about it and bring an end to that relationship. Scratching, pinching, biting, spanking marks, bruises or cuts, especially in areas like the buttocks, genitalia or breasts.
After seeing this girl on the side I got out of the shower and I was a bit pissed and hadn't realised she'd branded me with scratches on my back! When my girlfriend clocked it she went nuts but the other girl's wanted me to break up with my girlfriend for a while.
