boilerplate

1. The standardized, non-specific parts of a contract; the fine print that gets tacked on by lawyers to protect themselves and their clients.

2. The unsubscription notice at the bottom of bulk emails from the spam operations that bother to pretend that they comply with the CANSPAM legislation. (first used by Paul Graham in his groundbreaking essays on spam)

Origin: The American Press Association shared its building with a sheet-iron processing plant when it was founded 1892. Chicago printers dubbed the noisy American Press offices a boilerplate factory, and boilerplate became the word used to refer to the third-rate filler that the syndicated news agency turned out.

The failure of Urban Dictionary to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision, or portion of any provision, of the TOS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to enact the intentions of the TOS. Under any circumstances other provisions of the TOS shall remain in full force and effect. You, the user, agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of, or related to, use of the Service, its content, or the TOS must be filed within two (2) months of the time in which the events giving rise to such claim began, or you agree to waive such claim.

Bigleism

To discriminate against someone for their past or the social group they fall into. The man who first used this word in a conversation is Cristian Jennissen.

A teacher gave a boy a basketball stress ball and assumed he liked basketball because of his skin color. This shows discrimination and shows bigleism.

Boiled Peanuts

A delicious snack consisting of green (raw), unshelled peanuts boiled in salt water. This delicacy is typically purchased in gas station parking lots and roadside vegetable stands and consumed by southerners of all socio-economic backgrounds. Almost always served in Styrofoam cups and wrapped in the skimpiest napkin ever made, this salty snack is intended to be shared with family and friends although it is not uncommon for asocial types to devour the whole cup as to not share any with his wife/mistress.

Rich Birmingham Business Man: Mama, I got a cup of boiled peanuts for the Auburn vs. Alabama game.

Boilermaker

A cocktail made by dropping a shot of whiskey (or whisky if you're a Scot or Canadian) into a glass of beer. Great for those who don't like straight booze but hate sweet mixers.

Boilermakers are good for time management. They make me twice as drunk in the same amount of time!

Cherry Boiler

A fart after drinking 12 or more cherry cokes in a day. The smell is that of rotten cherry coke that has been boiled.

Brett: You’ve been pounding cherry cokes all night, fella. Is it a cherry boiler?

Jeremy: I’ve been slamming cherry cokes and ripping cherry boilers all day, fellas. My jeans stink like molten ass.
