no brass

When someone doesn't give a damn anymore. Similar to someone "zerofucksgiven"

Brass is a beautiful metal when polished and can be used to decorate things. When someone has no brass, it means they are raw, bad to the bone, and don't give a rats ass.

Brass Thinking

Low caliber thinking that produces high caliber results. A combination of brain thinking and ass thinking. Like that time? At band camp? When you came up with the jackass idea of hiding your weed in the oregano jar in the mess hall, and they cooked spaghetti that night, and the whole camp got baked and it was awesome?
Man, I don't think I would do that if I were . . . Dude! Brass Thinking!
