When a professional athlete makes any sort of controversial decision, you'll most likely find sports fans burning jerseys. Usually, it occurs after a player leaves a team in free agency. Jersey burning is more frequent in the NBA and NFL than the MLB.
Sports fans have been doing this since the late 2000s; however, a more notable ubiquity was in July of 2010 when LeBron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers to join the Miami Heat in free agency. Many also burned Colin Kaepernick's jersey in 2016 after he refused to stand for the national anthem. These are just some of the many occurrences.

F requests a recommendation for a solicitor. Unrelated, S had abandoned his home nation of Ireland for Canada years prior leaving a thorn in the side of all his greatest and humble friends.
M: "Probably you want one that specialises in such things. Which we don't have.
Though maybe S. would, when seperated permanently with no backsies from his Irish citizenship."
The Homes burn.

When you need to shave but don’t have a lot of time, you perform a burning bush, lighting fire to your pubes and watch them burn away like a forest fire
Shit, Des is going to be here in 5 minutes and I haven’t even shaved! I’m going to have to pull a burning bush!

The naive girl that male burners convince to be a pass around. Once one gets in, they all know they can get in too. The girl is typically just trying to fit in or get free drugs, and the males are generally opportunistic, praising the "merits" of open relationships and free love. The girl has no idea that she is just being used for sex and they don't actually acknowledge her as part of the community.
