Baking Their Own Bread

A term used to describe a fictional character's death as predictable.

The term is a reference to the 2009 blaxplotation parody film, Black Dynamite, in which a character describes the idyllic future he has planned with his wife, moments before he is killed.

"When we get back home, I'm gonna retire from the revolution, start a family, buy a home in the country, raise our own fruits and vegetables, bake our own bread! Yeah, bake our o-"

The character's description of his dreams for retirement and pastoral living were never mentioned before this point in the story, and were only revealed moments before his death, as a tongue in cheek way of endearing the character to the audience.

The movie's name sake, Black Dynamite, then reinforces this self-aware joke, by momentarily breaking the forth wall to say, "Who saw that coming. Uh- I mean who saw where that came from?"

The term can be used anytime you notice a previously ignored character talking about their wonderful future plans, in what you believe may be an attempt to give their death more gravitas.
"Uh oh, our two favorite characters are talking about running away to a safe island together to live happily ever after once this epic battle is over. I sure hope they live, but it sounds like their baking their own bread to me!"

"How did you know that character was going to get killed off?"

"Oh her? Didn't you see her talking about how all her dreams were coming true, just moments earlier? She was totally baking her own bread for the last ten minutes of this episode!"

Break n' Bake

The act in which most employees take part in on their breaks at their respected place of work.

Pretty self explanatory but for all you noobs, it's when employees smoke weed on their breaks.
Daniel: "Hey it's almost our lunch break... you down to Break N' Bake?"

Charlie: "I'm still feeling it from our last Break N' Bake but I'm always down."

Daniel: "I love to Break n' Bake!"
