Brown Ring of Death

An unfortunate occurence that is the result of
A) Spilling soda in the cupholder of your car
B) Neglecting to clean said soda for an extended period of time, causing it to condense into a brown, syrupy substance
C) Forgetting that crud is in there, so whenever you put a new drink in there and then rest it on your thigh as you are drinking, a disgusting brown ring is left on your trousers.

Unrelated to the similarly named Xbox 360 phenomenon, Red Ring of Death.

Joe: Hey man what happened to your trousers? That is some janky shit.
Craig: Gave myself the ol' Brown ring of death, mate. I need to stop being a lazy ass and clean my cupholder.

Blues death

Dying in a shotgun shack or cheap motel while busted flat and at the end of the line; a forlon, lonely ending such as expiring in a broken down cot in a homeless shelter or at the back of a gym; death via state-sanctioned execution, substance abuse, or at the hands of a cuckolded husband.

"Sam Cooke, the great gospel and soul crooner, died a true blues death when he was shot and killed Dec. 11, 1964, in Los Angeles. Cooke was found in the manager's room at the Hacienda Motel in a state of undress. Bertha Franklin, the motel, shot Cooke in the heart as he attacked her to find out the whereabouts of a woman who had fled his $3-a-night room."
