Barrister

In Ireland and Britain, the legal system has two "Lawyers" per se. One, a solicitor, gets work from a client etc... and if it is required to go to court, he would find two Barristers (One Senior Counsel and one Junior Counsel - but sometimes only one is needed if the case is small, then it is only a Junior Counsel, but could be a Senior, but that rarely happens).
The Barrister is the one who goes into court. He speaks, the solicitor also goes into court, but NEVER speaks. If he has to inform the Barrister of something, he would write it down on a piece of paper, and slide it accross, or whisper.

In Ireland, there are two places in the Four Courts that only Barristers may go: The Law Library, and the Barristers Restaurant. Now I always wonder, why would anyone want to become a solicitor if they cannot enter those two places...

Barristers are not allowed to advertise. And a lot of the time cases are settled before they enter court. Solicitors usually earn more money, but it is more likely for a Barrister to "rise up the ranks" to judge etc...

"So, what's your job?"

"Solicitor"

"Hate that... I'm a Barrister, I can enter the Law Library and a special restaurant!"

"Do you want work, or not?"

"I suppose so..."

barista crawl

Moving from coffee shop to coffee shop in an attempt to get homework done. When a coffee shop gets too boring, crowded, or hostile (kicks you out), it's time to move on to the next one.

L: Dude, the library is closed for Labor Day but I still have that huge paper due tomorrow that I haven't even started.

G: Yeah, I still have some work to do on my economics project too. Wanna go on a barista crawl?

L: I'm totally down with that. Let's go.

Barvis

A description used as a first name for a person who acts embarrassingly stupid or clueless. This word can also be used when someone does something embarrassing, and doesn't want to come to terms with what just took place (they blame it on their alter-ego, Barvis).

You accidentally walk straight into a conference room at your workplace where the CEO is meeting with high-level professionals. As everybody looks up in silence, you ask, "Oh, is there a meeting going on in here?"

After realizing the dumb-look on everyone's faces, you quickly reply, "I'm sorry. That was Barvis, not me." and quickly turn and walk out.

Baristo

The word "baristo" is sometimes used as a male version of barista. However, that's a case of hypercorrection. The word "barista" is gender-neutral.

"I'm totally gonna be a baristo when I'm done with college!"

Barfisticated

Having a more barbaric approach; being mindless and reckless

After the great wall came down no country gave mercy. Everyone was being treated Barfisticated.

Baris the Turkish monkey

Baris is a boy who’s from turkey. He’s a definition of a Turkish monkey. Baris is a guy who at the gym says “let’s go do push-ups” but will fight you cuz he gets no bitches. Baris is also the kind of guy who sprays you with water because he thinks it’s “cool.” I personally fucking hate baris because he’s a Turkish monkey. Worse than black monkeys are Turkish monkeys. Baris is also the kind of guy who won’t fight for his country because he’s a pussy. I hope Lebanon bombs his house one day inshallah!

Adam: Have y’all seen baris the Turkish monkey?

Zulf: no he’s probably hiding from the Turkish army so he doesn’t have to do his military service!
