B-Boy Stance

An ancient pose used by the hip hop & break dancing community in the 80's. The most popular stance is that of the arms crossed in front with hands under each arm pit while standing with head tilted slightly back. Although nobody of African American heritage does this anymore, it is mostly being kept alive today by out of touch white comedians and actors trying to act black. Usually accompanied by either a weak rhyme, beatbox or the term "yo".

b-roll

(TELEVISION JOURNALISM) stock video clip that adds meaning to a sequence or disguises the elimination of unwanted content. This technique of using the cutaway is common to hide zooms in documentary films: the visuals may cut away to B roll footage of what the person is talking about while the A camera zooms in, then cut back after the zoom is complete. The cutaway to B roll footage can also be used to hide "uh"s, sniffs, coughs, and so forth.

This can also be used to change the meaning of the speaker to fit the view of the producer.

In fiction film, the technique can be used to indicate simultaneous action or flashbacks, usually increasing tension or revealing information.
In the past, companies provided TV networks with stock footage, or b-roll, for programs about their industry. Now, they produce entire video news releases, or fake news stories that the networks air without attribution.

Soon all television will be commercials.

B.O.

Short for "blackout," as in drinking entirely too much alcohol, sometimes combined with other substances. Can be used as a verb, a noun, or an adjective. On a scale of 1-10, B.O. stands for all numbers 11 and higher, and is almost always associated with belligerence and depravity. Much like alcohol itself, the term is used heavily in Wisconsin.
Verb: Let's get Rumplemintz and B.O. tonight!
