Barnes & Noble

An American bookseller, with the largest number of retail outlets in the United States. Founded in New York City in 1886 as Arthur Hinds & Company. Renamed to Hinds & Noble when Gilbert Clifford Noble was made a partner, then renamed to Barnes & Noble after Noble purchased the company and hired William Barnes. Now operates over 600 retail stores nationwide and is a Mecca for book lovers like me. Many have cafés that serve Starbucks coffee.

Regular person’s ideal date: dinner and a movie.
Nerd’s ideal date: Barnes & Noble and reading a book mutually picked.

Barns Courtney

he makes alt/country/rock-ish music. very superior. if you listen to him you probably have an outgoing spirit, probably raised in an isolated area be it a farm or just in the middle of nowhere (or strive to be), you’re probably alt aswell and loves a good elec guitar riff. BUT you are most definitely a mentally ill chaotic little lgbtq+ emo<3 (cuz same)

matt: “yooo that kid has a hell of a music taste”
alex: “yeah man he’s listening to barns courtney”
kid in question: *absolutely jamming tf out with speakers on full blast*
matt: “damn bro. if i wanna be that cool i should listen to barns courtney”
alex: *kicks starts playing* “already ahead of you buddy”

barlosexual

A term used to describe an individual who exhibits sexual interest or behavior towards bees or those who identify as bees. The derogatory term for those who identify as such is a “kaan.”

Despite many odd looks and questions from her peers, Lily remained firm in her barlosexual identity, finding attraction in bees only.

The Barnold Effect

Once a particular a member of an online chat, Skype call, etc. begins acting derpy, the likeliness that the conversation will become more derpy and off topic increases.

"Man I just got out of a really long Skype call."

"Really? What was it about?"

"Well it started off being really philosophical, but then it ended up being about Batman."

"Yeah, that would be the Barnold effect."

Wayne Barnes

According New-Zealanders, Welsh and French, worst referee of all times. Very known for his (little) mistakes during the match between France and New Zealand in 2007 and to have let the Six Nations Match between France and Wales dure 100 minutes.

According him, forward passes, repetitive faults, bites or lies are right.
He also doesn't know the concept of "penalty try".
Considered as one of the best rugby referee by the IRB, which is certainly right, because the only reasons of his fame are his mistakes

Wayne Barnes isn't considered as the best rugby referee by some persons. This is an euphemism.
