When you boil the kettle without any water, causing the damned thing to hiss and possibly damage itself. Annoying as fuck.
Did you say you'd make me a coffee? That was ages ago!
Yeah, I had to start again because I dry-boiled the kettle.

A town that sounds like it has a lot to offer when its name is spoken, but the people who live there know better. This one stoplight town is mainly comprised of students from Gardner-Webb University. They have to drive 20 minutes down the road just to buy a damn beer. Go Runnin' Bulldogs!

A phrase used to describe long, pointless stories that go nowhere and provide no entertainment value whatsoever.
The term originated from an extermely boring story concerning boiled rice at a Chinese restaurant, a story which is said to have cured insomnia countless times.

Michelle: ...So like basically there was a half of a cup of water in the house, with stuff floating in it.....it was time to go to Tesco.
Me: WTF? I don't want to hear about boiled rice.

A small college town in North Carolina, close to Gaffney, SC and Shelby, NC. I've read the definitions on here and they were all super negative. Yes, it is a one-stoplight town, but you can walk everywhere, there's no traffc, and the environment is positively beautiful. It's the home to Gardner-Webb University, a small Christian college. While there aren't any movie theatres or shopping malls in the town itself, it's a very short drive to the outlet mall in Gaffney and there are movie theatres that take less than 20 minutes to get to. I think it's a wonderful place.
I have been going to visit family in Boiling Springs almost every summer since I was 5 years old, and I think it's a beautiful and relaxing escape from my busy hometown.
