BARABBAS is slang for "none of your business!"
Etymology: "Barabbas", Greek transliteration of the Aramaic "Bar-Abba" meaning "son of a father". Erroneously thought to be the actual name of a revolutionary incarcerated at the same time as Yahshua Bar-Yosef (aka "Jesus son of Joseph") see JOHN 18:40.
The custom in Israel 2,000 years ago was that a man was called by his own first name plus "Bar" (son of) followed by the first name of his father.
"Barabbas" or "Bar-Abba" was NOT the revolutionary's ACTUAL name, rather, when the Roman guards asked him what his name was, he said, "Bar-Abba", literally "son of a father", ie "NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!"

Get the Baraccoli mug.A tiny minuscular midget dwarf orangutans who gets straight A but constantly says she is going to fail. She is super annoying and also she does not know how to speak properly (eg. she says sweets instead of candy). She thinks being picky is a disease but really she is just dumb. She lives off golden Oreos, hello pandas and Diet Coke.

Get the Baraah mug.A pun implying that Barack Obama is Irish. This sight gag has bonus irony because he really is partly Irish, by way of his maternal great-great-grandmother Mary Kearney.
