Working endlessly on a really difficult literature assignment. The word came from Ms. Barrett, an intimidating and yet loving literature teacher.
Non-Barretter: "Hey wanna go out for movies tonight?"
Barretter: "Nah, about 3 more hours of barretting to go, on the writings of Emerson."
Non-Barretter: "I read books to entertain myself."
Barretter: "I read books to find the Truth."

Get the Barretting mug.The act of having someone call you out for something or other whilst unrelatedly having put a lot of effort into your outfit/makeup/hair that day and feeling double the shame because of it.
Person 1: Oh, you look cute today!
Person 2: Yeah, but I came in late to class and my professor called me out for it, so I felt like I got roasted in a beret.

Get the Barrett 50. Cal mug.On the news, they are commonly referred to as "U.S. Army special forces", which is what they are. Green Berets are highly skilled operators, trainers, and teachers. Area-oriented, these soldiers are specially trained in their area's native language and culture. They train to perform five doctrinal missions: Foreign Internal Defense (FID), Unconventional Warfare (UW), Special Reconnaissance (SR), Direct Action (DA) and Combating Terrorism (CBT). They infiltrate and exfiltrate specified operational areas by sea, air, and land.

Get the Green Beret mug.Syd Barrett was the original singer, songwriter, and guitarist for the group. Yep, I think everyone else pretty much hit the nail on the head, except for a few points.
Many artists have acknowledged Barrett's influence on their work. Paul McCartney and Pete Townshend were early fans; Jimmy Page, David Bowie, Brian Eno, and The Damned all expressed interest in working with him at some point during the 1970s. In fact, Bowie recorded a cover of "See Emily Play" on his 1973 album Pin Ups. On a VH1 program, honoring rock bands and artists, Pete Townshend gave a speech honoring Syd Barrett, and telling a story where he told Eric Clapton that he had to come see this guy play, who was Barrett. Townshend called Barrett legendary. Barrett as a guitarist was remarkable for his free-form style in playing chords (and also for the use of echo, tapes and other effects): his rhythm guitar, as well as his often minimalist and dissonant solos, are seen even today as a major influence on punk, post-punk, and similar scenes.
Syd died on July 7th, 2006 due to "complications arising from his diabetes." It has been said that the family specifically did not want the remaining members of Pink Floyd to attend the funeral.
