win the breakup

Meeting your ex after some time has passed and comparing details about your current lives - there is always a winner and a loser in a breakup. If your life is going significantly better than your ex's, then you "win the breakup" Coined by the TV show How I Met Your Mother.

I ran into my ex Susan the other day - she's working at a Dairy Queen and got knocked up by some douche. I totally won that breakup.

Man, stop watching TV and go get a job or something. Don't you want to win the breakup when you meet Jen at this year's reunion?

the breakfast club

the best movie i have ever seen. its funny and drmatic at the same time. its about five people who are completely different, having to spend a day in detention together. They come to relaize that their differences can bring them closer, and in many ways theyre a lot alike. the "impossible" was reached (having them all relate) and they formed the breakfast club. greatest movie iv seen so far in my life.

"you may not talk, you may not move from these seats, and you may not sleep"

the breakfast club

The best movie of all time. Period.

The Breakfast Club has such a deep meaning, that you will never understand fully until you're in high school.

the breaks

Bad luck, a damn shame, or an unfortunate occurrence.

At the laundromat:
Doc: "What up dogg."
Timmy: "Nothing much. I lost a quarter under the washing machine a couple minutes ago."
Doc: "That's the breaks."

A week later:
Doc: "What up dogg."
Timmy: "Didn't you hear? I lost my job and my wife left me for the mailman. Oh yeah, and my house burned down during Thanksgiving dinner and my entire family died. What a terrible tragedy!"
Doc: "That's the breaks."

Beat The Brakes

To beat someone down so badly that they are unable to stop themselves from stumbling around like an idiot. (Like they do not have brakes.)

Sasha stumbled straight into a wall because Chris beat the brakes off of him.
