Minus the Bear

Another completely fantastic band from Seattle, Minus the Bear's music is generally classified as alternative punk. The name references an old TV show, "BJ and the Bear", if you were to subtract the bear from this expression, you would be left with a BJ. With insanely clever song titles such as "Houston, We Have Uh-Oh", "Thanks for the Killer Game of Crisco Twister", and "I Lost All My Money at the Cock Fights", this fine group of musicians mainly sings about drugs, women, and booze because they know the meaning of life.

After becoming familiar with Minus the Bear's music, the various track names often tend to become a part of one's regular speech patterns.

Minus the Bear consists of:
Jake Snider- Vocals, Rhythm Guitar
David Knudson- Lead Guitar
Cory Murchy- Bass
Erin Tate- Drums
Alex Rose- Keyboards

Erin Tate is quite possibly the best drummer ever. Never mind that he is at least half god.

Hey man, I'm going to see Minus the Bear at the Showbox tonight!

Tim: What's up dude?
Dan: Oh not much, I'm just kickin' it like a wild donkey, that's all.

Jake: Well, what do you think?
Dave: I'm totally not down with Rob's Alien.

Hey, have you listened to any Minus the Bear lately?

beard

The significant other of a person who is gay... BUT they are of the opposite sex. A beard is used to make the world think the gay partner is straight. Sometimes the beard knows they're a beard, and sometimes they're being deceived.

"I didn't want her to think that I was Gay and I was hiding it from her, and that I was using her as like a "beard". 'Cause that's what the whole internet probably thinks!" - Shane Dawson, Coming Out Video.

I just gave Alissa a bear hug. She couldn't move her arms to hug back.

Itchy Beard

Said in response to a statement that is believed to be false. The previous example where the statement is "Do you believe in God?" and the response is "Itchy beard" is wrong simply because a question cannot be false.

Jack: "Mine's ten inches - and that's flaccid"
John: "Itchy beard!"

Neon Beard

When a man ejaculates on the face of his partner under a black light. The light causes the salty maple syrup to glow while marinating on the victim's face, thus causing the beard shaped puddle to illuminate. Talented bearders can design mustaches and sideburns as well.

Jeb: Hey, how was the rave at 'Club Cage' last night?

Clarence: From what I remember it was a very special time. Karen and I reached a new point in our relationship because there were black lights in the bathroom as well. I convinced her to follow me in so I could finally give her a neon beard.

Jeb: That IS special, congratulations on the milestone, and tell Karen the same. How'd it turn out?

Clarence: I was so backed up that she ended up with a mustache like William Taft's, side-burns like Chester Arthur's, and a raging James Garfield beard.

Beard Metal

A style of music that combines 70s stoner rock with hard rock and metal guitar riffs and beats, beard metal began its rise to popularity somewhere around 2005 and has only grown thanks to bands like Mastodon, Turbonegro and Valient Thorr. Galloping metal breakdowns and their masterful use of the twin- guitar melodies (ala Thin Lizzy and Iron Maiden) make this genre of music a welcome breath of fresh air for hard rock and metal fans who have watched their beloved music drift into obscurity over the years as rock became a watered-down commodity for record labels in search of the almighty dollar, producing bands like Nickleback and other alternative radio nonsense. Most of these bands have at least one or two members with beards, but a beard is not necessarily required.

Beard Metal bands include: Valient Thorr, Priestess, Mastodon, Turbonegro, High on Fire, Early Man, The Sword, Fu Manchu, Bison, Baroness, Black Cobra.

Thanksgiving Beard

An unintentional beard started over the 4 day Thanksgiving weekend, where you're too lazy to shave it off monday morning. Usually continues until Christmas or New Year's Day.

Also known as a Holiday Beard

Boss: You look like you haven't shaved in days. That's unprofessional.
Employee: Sir, that's my Thanksgiving beard. It's my way of honoring our forefathers.
Boss: Oh, I didn't realize that. Maybe I'll grow one too.
