Bracketman

someone who remains dormant during the regular season but when the NCAA tournament comes around, they become an instant expert at bracketology

*Standing in front of the water cooler*

Steve - "Shit, here comes bracketman"
Bracketman - "Louisville is tough this year but did you know Boise State is 7-2 vs. the top 100 RPI?"
Steve - "Oh really? So are you just pulling this shit out of your ass or did you really spend all night on ESPN.com just to make it seem like you're a semi-interesting person?"

BalkanMania

A gang of people with a Slavic descent (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Bulgaria), but Romania and Greece can also be included because of the shared culture.

Any Balkan person who is friends with another Balkan person creates their own BalkanMania to show the western people that we are in charge of the best and happiest population in the world, because capitalism is not the key of happiness. Rakija, Ćevape, the sound of accordion music and partying daily with joyful people actually are.

'Bro, I don't need such friends like yours. I have my own BalkanMania with whom I can eat and drink the whole night in the back seat of the yugo car with blasting old music from forty years ago.'

'BalkanMania? Sounds like a TV-show.'

'Yeah, there should be one for keeping up with the Balkans.'

Bracknell

Bracknell is not the biggest or best town in the world, but its home. There are leisure centres, parks, woods, swimming pools, bowling, arcade, arts centre and lots of extra curricular classes or sports for children and adults to do. Also a range of different shops and you can find most things you need.

Bracknell has a huge industrial area which is good for the economy and also provides opportunity for jobs.
Bracknell gets a bad name from the small minority of people, the same as any other town. These are usually the same people who complain about bracknell and how bad it is... if they got a job/life instead of hanging around in town, then they would be able to join in with the rest of society instead of complaining about it.
The town centre is generally quite clean and well looked after... I have been to much worse places!

I live in Bracknell

loser's bracket

1. the sub-grouping within a competitive tournament whereby those who suffer their first loss are demoted to a pool of similar types who have suffered a like fate; one more defeat in this category renders the unfortunate complete elimination from the field.
2. a common perception that certain individuals are moving through their respective lives already having suffered some type of major defeat (or many smaller ones), thereby rendering them to a decidedly less than ideal existence.

Look at Joe : he attended all the wrong schools thereby acquiring all the wrong type of friends; this precipitated choosing the wrong type of occupation and marrying the wrong type of girl. Now he's in the wrong type of neighborhood with the wrong type of kids. Joe could be said to be existing in the loser's bracket of life.

The Balkans

The most wretched hive of scum and villany (other than YouTube comments). A place where everyone hates each other. A place where every country dreams of having another country's land. A place where a country can have 3 major ethnicities and not be destroyed by a civil war. A place where Muslims and Orthodox Christians fight all day. A place where every one thinks he's better than anyone else. A place where you want to stay away from.

Serbia: REMOVE KEBAB REMOVE STINKY TURK MUSLIM
Croatia: FUCK YOU SERBIA YOU OPPRESS EVERY MINORITY

Albania: FUCK YOU SERBIA KOSOVO IS ALBANIA AND MACEDONIA IS OPPRESSING US
Bosnia: Pls Halp
Srpska: LET ME GO STUPID BOSNIAN KEBAB TURK
Bulgaria: I don't know what they are even grumbling about. And I don't care
Macedonia: WE ARE BEST WE ARE TRUE MACEDONIANS GREEKS ARE TURKS ALEKSANDR WAS MACEDONIAN
Greece: FUCK YOU SLAVIC IDIOT YOU ARE A SLAV AND FUCK YOU TURKGAY INSTABUL IS GREEK
Montenegro: Serbia, I thought you were better than that.
Romania: I AM NOT A FUCKING GYPSY YOU PIECE OF SHIT YOU DONT KNOW AND YOUR COUNTRY SUCKS BLABALALBALBALBABLA...
Slovenia: I AM NOT IN THE BALKANS, I AM IN CENTRAL EUROPE
Turkey: I hate you all. Passively. Also, I'm in Asia, not in Europe.
Moldova: Don't know, don't care
Kosovo: I don't even know what I am
