Bear Stearns

To make a poorly thought out decision that results in a catastrophic failure or demise of one or many people.

To plummet from the top to the bottom at a blinding speed only to be bought out and liquidated by someone else.

stearnsing out

The act of leaving early(mainly being tired but any other reason works) from hanging out with friends even though they are having fun and it would be best if you stayed.

Alec, who was extremely tired, was stearnsing out so he could go home and get some sleep.

Bear Stearns Effect

When individual assets are worth more than the total valuation.

When a group of girls as a whole seem unattractive but when viewed individually, aren't bad.

Opposite of the Cheerleader Effect.

Check out those girls again. We wrote them off before, but I think it's actually the Bear Stearns Effect.

Stearns, KY

The population being 1586, Stearns is a small village 2 hours south of Lexington, KY and north of Knoxville, TN. With no unicorporated cities in McCreary County, KY, you can still get a great calzone at ZZs or have a hang-out in the parking lot of Larry's Somerset Oil or the Big M Plaza. If you get tired of that, you can travel to the booming metro just 25 minutes north to Somerset and hang there.
