Burner Standard Time 

Burner Standard Time is the approximation of the time a meeting or event will take place between two attendees of Burning Man, which takes into account the reality that Burners are easily distracted and often late (especially at Burning Man). For instance, 4pm burner standard time should be understood as anywhere between 4:30 and 6pm "real" time.

While it is common parlance at Burning Man, it has application outside of the festival as well.
At Burning Man:
"Let's meet by the temple at at 3 o'clock burner standard time"

Outside of Burning Man:
"Larry is late again!" "Oh, he's still running on burner standard time"

Hey Michelle, how’d that online hookup date go?

Totally awesome. I had him call up a couple of his friends and acted like a total slut. Good thing we were at my burner pad. I don’t need them knowing where I live.

Burner Phone 

A phone - typically prepaid - that's used temporarily and then disposed of, a.k.a "burned". Usually a cheap flip phone, and has had a resurgence in pop culture relevance because of tv shows like The Wire and Breaking Bad. Either bought for cheap at a convenience store, or got online since there's now literally an app called Burner.
-"I gotta make a call but I don't want it logged on my number."
-"Alright just go get a burner phone and use that instead then."
