bumming off

This might be a very specific geographical location slang term, but it's used in Northern England to mean when a person or people like a thing too much. It's not unlike the saying "...then why don't you marry it?"
My husband is always on his PS4 - he bums off that new COD game.

When did everyone start bumming off Nutella?

Burning Man widow

The spouse, partner, or lover of someone who attends the annual Burning Man event in Black Rock City, NV that happens the week before, and including, Labor Day. As the event approaches, the spouse, partner, or lover feels increasingly abandoned while the crazed Burner becomes consumed with preparation for the event. The Burning Man widow eventually gives up all hope of making contact with the crazed Burner, even though they may live in the same house.

The average Burner can be gone anywhere from three days to three weeks. When the Burner returns, it pees itself blathering on and on about what happened at the Burn, while already making preparations for the following year. The Burning Man widow listens patiently (for the first couple of weeks), while trying to prevent their eyes from glazing over, but eventually becomes indifferent or irritated by the constant mention of the Man. Every conversation is peppered with obscure references to various theme camps, art cars, playa foot, the Temple, and port-a-pottie signage.

Oh boy, I can't wait until next year to hear the Greeters say "Welcome Home"!!!
I can't believe she's already planning for next year--I'm going to be a Burning Man widow AGAIN!

Birmingham

Industrial city in the centre of England. My home town. Second city in England, biggest city next to London. Famous for having world class curry houses.
'Birmingham Rocks!'

birmingham

The second city in Britain. Friendly, down-to-earth people. Not stuck up and shallow like cockneys and not got an inferiority complex like mancs.
Probably the best place in Britain for a night out (from personal experience it is better than London, Gunchester and Nottingham).
Definitely the best place to go shopping, Trafford center my arse!
Has a massive stigma attached to it by ignorant people who mainly haven’t visited it or are stuck-up snobs.
Balti capitol of Britain (unofficially since some council idiot forgot to enter the competition).

One more thing, if mancs think of Greater Manchester as Manchester (because Manchester is woefully inadequate) then maybe Birmingham should be ‘greater Birmingham’ i.e. the West Midlands which is like 3 million people and wipes the floor with their poor excuse for a town? Nah, who cares, Birmingham is the centre of Britain in every respect.

Burlington Coat Factory

A store that suffers business-wise because 95% of potential shoppers think all they have is coats. In reality, it's much like Bealls, JC Penney, Dillards and the such.
"why the hell would I want to go to Burlington Coat Factory? all they have is coats!"

or do they....

you get to burning

A phrase adapted from the theme song of "Martian Succesor Nadesico." It now applies of the idea of getting riled up in preperation to accomplish something; or the idea of actually setting things on fire.
1) You're about to go on a 72 hour marathon of "Starcraft?" You get to burning.
2) Nice flamethrower. You should get to burning.
