Bracket Eight

Bracket Eight is the correct way to explain the sexual act called "69ing" or "sixty nining." The man's penis goes into the woman's mouth and the man's tongue goes into the woman's vagina, therefore the man is the bracket. The woman is represented by the "8" because both extensions of the bracket penetrate the openings of the eight "8," the mouth and vagina of the woman.

{8 (The real bracket cannot be used on Urban Dictionary)
Hate 'em, date 'em, bracket eight 'em.

Sheila doesn't ever care about basketball or any sport, but every year she does a bracket that throws all of the real basketball fans off by taking the lead every time. I don't know how she does it but she is ruining the game for us all! She's a total bracket-troll!

loser's bracket

1. the sub-grouping within a competitive tournament whereby those who suffer their first loss are demoted to a pool of similar types who have suffered a like fate; one more defeat in this category renders the unfortunate complete elimination from the field.
2. a common perception that certain individuals are moving through their respective lives already having suffered some type of major defeat (or many smaller ones), thereby rendering them to a decidedly less than ideal existence.
Look at Joe : he attended all the wrong schools thereby acquiring all the wrong type of friends; this precipitated choosing the wrong type of occupation and marrying the wrong type of girl. Now he's in the wrong type of neighborhood with the wrong type of kids. Joe could be said to be existing in the loser's bracket of life.
