brillant

Being incompetent, having a grossly inflated sense of one's competence, and possibly being lazy too, with the result being a very bad (or non-working) design or implementation. Often used in conjunction with the name "Paula". Originates from a post on The Daily WTF (an online forum discussing examples of bad programming practices) where a lazy programmer named Paula had coded exactly five lines of Java for a major project in several months and had managed to bullshit her way through weekly meetings regarding her progress. One of the lines was:

private String paula = "Brillant";

whose sheer elementariness, inappropriateness in production code, narcissism and self-inflation, with a weird spelling for "Brillant" on top of everything else, was deemed memorable.

Brallon

Brallon is the pairing of, former Panic! At The Disco member, Dallon Weekesand the current lead singer, Brendon Urie. Said ship is in frequent combat with its rival ship Ryden. Although most people would either die for Brallon or Ryden, there are some select individuals including myself that ship both. It is also a common subject in many Panic! At The Disco fanfictions, especially on Wattpad, a dark place of fan fic horrors.
"Did you read that Brallon fic I sent you?"
"No, I prefer Ryden."
