Blackadder ending

The above definition is not quite true. A Blackadder ending refers to the final sequence of events from the fourth series (Blackadder Goes Forth), a comedy set in the trenches of World War I, where the mood of a consistently comedic show unexpectedly switches to become utterly bleak.

In the original example, the final ten minutes of the series sees the main characters (in the trenches) change from joke-spewing, two-dimensional caricatures to emotional, terrified 'real' people. The commanding officers, until now cliche bumbling, upper-class idiots totally unsuited to their positions, are suddenly suggested to be not only totally aware they're sending millions to be slaughtered but also utterly at peace with it. The direction of the jokes shift, with the focus suddenly being on the futility of charging towards machines guns with revolvers/sticks and allusions to the pre-war lives they left behind.

It ends with four flawed but ultimately sympathetic characters charging over the top to their inevitable death and a fade out to the present day, their personal sacrifice ultimately forgotten. Sad music, slow-motion, tears.

'That Mitchell and Webb Look' had a Blackadder ending, it felt like a kick to the gut.

Black Astronaut

An individual who find themselves is an extraordinary and/or highly unlikely circumstance.

1) I was so out of place at that party, people looked at me like a black astronaut.
2) I won the lottery and feel like a black astronaut.

Black Trash

I am who I am, mentality. Lazy thinkers. No sense of professional behavior. Those who use slang, curse words and belittlement constantly in an endearment format. Rotting on and supporting crime, sex, drugs and abuse to others.
Minimum to none home care and parenting. Showing admiration to children's destructive activities such as cursing, gang banging, twerking, prostitution, drug use and etc. Comfortably living in homes that are severely infested with pests that roam every square inch of the home including food such as roaches, rats, etc. Very sensitive. No emotional understanding. Unable to take any type of criticism or advice to improve their lives. Dislikes and sometimes fight anyone who finds their behavior and lifestyle unsettling. Black Trash is a mentality that is generational, Its taught to children.

I'm going to call the health department on my black trash neighbors. Their hoarding and roach infestation is falling into my yard. When i tried to speak with the adults about it, the 6 yr old grandson told me to shut the fuck up and then called me Karen and that ain't my name. btw I am black and tired of trash culture. Lets try to do better.

Bollock Black

Bollock black is when someone is at the darkest of angry. They have reached a certain depth of angry, so deep that they are black with anger.
