Get the Berat moment mug.
to lecture, scold, or otherwise talk to a person or group that either no longer exists, or no longer needs the advice. comes from the idea of yelling at snails for moving too slowly, but the snails are dead and there's just empty shells left.
1. i know i'm berating snailshells here, but shakespeare should really write his plays to be less damn boring.
2. dude, nobody cares about easy-bake ovens anymore, stop berating snailshells.

Verbally and/or emotionally abusive relationship in a throuple format. Can lead to couple team with one wo/man out. Elder throuples can not break from a BTS situation. BTS seems to be most pervasive in the elder communities. Can sometimes present when a 2 elder couples are close and 1 spouse passes or a couple simply is looking for a third wheel. Eventually the third wheel is entitled to other wheels and this is when BTS becomes obvious. The cure to BTS is somehow returning to a traditional couple. In elder communities this cure seems impossible to obtain.
My mother suffers from Berated Throuples Syndrome - BTS. She continues to hang out with John and Lanie even though she seems miserable.
