borderline

Personality disorder in which an individual shows a generalized pattern of instability in interpersonal relationships, self-image, and observable emotions, and significant impulsiveness.

Relationships with others are intense but stormy and unstable with marked shifts of feelings and difficulties in maintaining intimate, close connections. The person may manipulate others and often has difficulty with trusting others. There is also emotional instability with marked and frequent shifts to an empty lonely depression or to irritability and anxiety. There may be unpredictable and impulsive behavior which might include excessive spending, promiscuity, gambling, drug or alcohol abuse, shoplifting, overeating or physically self-damaging actions such as suicide gestures. The person may show inappropriate and intense anger or rage with temper tantrums, constant brooding and resentment, feelings of deprivation, and a loss of control or fear of loss of control over angry feelings. There are also identity disturbances with confusion and uncertainty about self-identity, sexuality, life goals and values, career choices, friendships. There is a deep-seated feeling that one is flawed, defective, damaged or bad in some way, with a tendency to go to extremes in thinking, feeling or behavior. Under extreme stress or in severe cases there can be brief psychotic episodes with loss of contact with reality or bizarre behavior or symptoms. Even in less severe instances, there is often significant disruption of relationships and work performance. The depression which accompanies this disorder can cause much suffering and can lead to serious suicide attempts.

Brodette

The female version of bro, someone who is chill and good friends with you. A way for guys to convey to a girl that she is "one of the boys" without use of "the boys". Often times a girl who all the boys love to chill with but would never date.

Some guys will incorrectly call a girl they are attracted to a Brodette, in order to pretend they are in it just for the friendship.

"You know Bridgette too?"
"Yeah she's super cool. An absolute Brodette."

Chris Broderick

Current guitar player for megadeth. Not only does Chris play guitar, but he also likes to keep in shape. After shredding his audiences into spontaneous combustion and eating all of their souls for breakfast, Chris likes to lift weights. Always looking for a way to save money, Chris usually stabs his neighbors with a pole until it is heavy enough for him to lift. Chris uses ibanez guitars and engl amps, as anything less would literally turn into dust with one look from his fierce, laser beam eyes.

My friend went to a Megadeth show, and Chris Broderick played so fast that the first five rows died! Then he ate them. Whole.

broderism

The worship of bipartisanship for its own sake, combined with a fake "pox on both their houses" attitude. The main goal is the establishment of a permanent ruling class of Washington insiders, our betters who know better. It is their rough agenda which is sold as "centrism" even when it has no actual relationship with the political center in a meaningful way. The establishment of an aristocratic class in America.

The belief that it all sides are equal and must compromise at all times. Regardless of the final outcome or the level of understanding or intelligence presented by each side.

Mark Foley had a bad relationship with pages; Sen. Vitter has visited Prositutes in New Orleans and Washington; Sen Craig tried to proposition an undercover officer; Newt Gingrich had multiple afairs; Duke Cunningham was bribed with Prostitutes; but William Jefferson had money in his fridge so both sides are clearly evil.

Wow, that's quite a Broderism.

Broderick-Flail

A dance-like, thrashing, spastic type movement that begins with the body's lower extremities being pointed outward in a duck-like fashion while the upper body is squatted with elbows at awkward angles to the rest of the body. Movement patterns are unpredictible and sporadic but frequently conclude with somewhat of an artistic finesse including the pointing of a toe or an extra hop followed by a slightly elevated chin.

The girl used a Broderick-Flail type movement on the Beam Ball court.

borderline ginger

A person with indications of traits associated with gingeritis (e.g., redish hair, freckles, white skin). Still, the traits are not accentuated enough to allow a certain classification.

He is a ginger, right?

Well, I would call him a borderline ginger.
