When a merengue band slows down, it's playing bachata, the other music of the Dominican Republic. Marked by the bright sound of cleanly plucked guitar, bachata moves at the same pace as Latin America's other romantic ballad form, the bolero. But bachata is very different. A music of the underclass, bachata was banned from mainstream radio for decades because of its tough, streetwise subject matter. Singers openly discussed crime and prostitution in their songs, and though their albums were top sellers, bachata records never appeared on official charts. In the 1990s, mainstream musicians began to experiment with the style, and bachata was rehabilitated.

bachelor hibernation 

The time period between the three, big, love holidays, Christmas, New Years Eve, and Valentines day. This is a time when men become relationship free, to avoid, gifts, dinners, and long term relationship commitments
Tom Broke up with his girlfriend on thanksgiving, then... got back together... on February 15th. That's when he came out of his bachelor hibernation
Beachin is an action, a process, a way of life, and a philosophy. Beachin involves finding an empty beach and laying in the sand with your friends staring at the universe. It involves discussing deep life issues, sociopolitical issues, philosophy, etc. However, it can also include relaxed conversation. The ocean breeze is very relaxing and comforting. Beachin is an art and if done properly can be at the height of the human experience. Beachin is also a form of chillin since it is very relaxing even though it can consist of serious conversation. Beaching provides a great view of the open ocean. Beachin is related to Roofin. Beachin is the best.

Beachball of Death 

The Mac OS pointer icon of a colorful spinning wheel indicating the program currently under the mouse pointer is no longer responding. Called the beachball of death if the program never recovers or causes the operating system to become so busy (usually due to insufficient memory) that nothing else responds.
I ran a new shareware program, but killed it after I got the beachball of death.

marcus bachmann 

The biggest closet case in the history of the United States of America. Husband of Michelle Bachmann and a firm believer of the "Pray the Gay Away" Theory. Prances like a fairy when he walks and loves to push his radical Christian beliefs on others in an attempt to hide his obvious homosexuality.
Did you see Marcus Bachmann at the anti Gay rights rally? He pranced across the stage and took a bow before talking!
