The greatest military tactician in history, and general of the Carthaginian armies in both Punic Wars against Rome.
Inventor of the pincers movement, pioneered in the Battle of Cannae (216BC), the greatest defeat in Roman military history, and the third of his three great victories over Roman forces (following River Trebia in 218BC and Lake Trasimene in 217BC).
The Carthaginian empire spanned from Tunisia (where Carthage is) through Libya and most of North Africa, Spain, Mallorca, Corsica, Sicily, and Sardinia.
His name also inspired the name of the city of Barcelona, which was once part of the Carthaginian empire.

Alexander the Great may have had the numbers and the massive empire, but Hannibal Barca had the tactics, the better cavalry and ELEPHANTS!!!

Get the braaaaains mug.Psychological disorder that develops sometime after puberty, just as full maturity is about to be reached. This disorder appears when everything and everybody you found cool as a teenager suddenly starts looking really lame, unoriginal, boring, douchy and most of all, shitty. People who suffer from it (a very small percentage of the population, as the vast majority keep on loving all this mediocrity well into their last days...) are not afraid to call people around them on their bullshit, and sometimes do so to the point of alienating themselves; therefore developing a very strong, independent, supreme-asshole personality (although some of them hate themselves for liking such utter crap at some early point of their lives).
- "Baby, let's go watch that new Gerard Butler movie, it looks funny..."
- "What?!?? I'd rather slit my penis' vein with a rusty bottle cap than having to sit through that piece of movie-making rape!!!! Call one of your douchy girlfriends..."
- "I see, your BACA (Being a Cynical Asshole) Disorder is acting up again. Better yet! Who the hell wants to sit in a dark theater next to your grouchy ass??..."

Get the BACA (Being a Cynical Asshole) Disorder mug.a one way ticket to the toilet, the hospital, or your deathbed. The majority of people won't even smell it, let alone drink it. If you like to enjoy your night slowly progressing from sober to buzzed to drunk, this is NOT your drink. If you want to help get the chick sitting on the couch into your bedroom, this is NOT the drink to use. If you want to showoff and think your a total badass, this is NOT your drink.
However, if you like to get very hammered, very quick, and for less money then most any name brand liquor, this is the drink for you. If you want to put that chick sitting on the couch over the toilet before you can even begin to spit your game, this is the drink to use. If your another hot-shot teen and want to think hair is being pulled out of your chest, and that your mister king of all liquors because you drink fire water, then this is probably your drink of choice. Believe me when I say this stuff will turn you into an old man with haste. However, I think it's a lot more badass to drink your friends under the table with a less harsh alcohol such as Jose Cuervo or Jack Daniels, because then everybody's willing to join in on the fun.
To be honest, about the only time consuming 151 becomes a social activity is when you light shit on fire with it. It's more expensive then lighter fluid, but it burns longer and smells a bit better. I highly advise NOT to do this though. If the bottle catches on fire, you'll probably be like me and won't notice until your countertop is on fire because the bottle got spilled.
If you still choose to drink it, simply because you like to, then more power to you! I command a lot more respect for you then these hot-shot teens who think drinking 151 and everclear makes them awesome. There's some good tasting stuff in there if you haven't burnt your taste buds off yet.

Bacardi 151 is good for three things...showing how badass you aren't, lighting shit on fire, and guaranteeing you'll be waking up wondering where you are and why there's a dick on your face. However, if your smashed enough to ignore the fumes that linger in your throat, it actually tastes VERY good.

Get the bacardi 151 mug.by JJOrchanio January 20, 2009
Get the bacak'd mug.Also known colloquially as a 'Rum and Coke', this is the classic, no-frills, good-old-days drink that remains to this day: a simple mixture of a Bacardi Rum (typically Bacardi Superior) and Coca Cola - nothing else needed. Don't bother with Pepsi; there's not enough 'body' to that soda to make it right. If you're feeling adventurous, a double-shot can replace the single in exchange for a stronger alcoholic taste. And if you live on the edge, use a shot of bacardi 151 instead for the great taste of a Superior-single with the potency of a Superior-double (in fact, most who dare try bacardi 151 will attempt this method over all overs).
No offense to the other definitions, but they couldn't be more incorrect - many a straight man, myself included, order these as their drink of choice; however, the love for such classics isn't restricted by sex, gender, personality, sexual orientation, or anything other than knowing what you want, a desire to enjoy yourself, and actually having good taste.

Me: "Just a double-Bacardi and Coke, please."
Bartender: "A classic! You got it."
