Converse is a brand of basketball shoes. They are canvas shoes with rubber soles. They were made famous by Charles H. Taylor, a basketball player, in 1918. Since then they have become popular with just about everybody at different times. In the '70s and '80s, they were deemed to be the offcial shoe of the National Basketball Association.
Since the '80s, the Converse company went out of business and was purchased by Nike. Nike proceeded to move production of Converse shoes to China in order to reduce production costs.
Today Converses are popular with an entirely new crowd - the 'alternative' or 'artsy' kids who will probably never touch a basketball in their life - in addition to still being popular with the 'jocks' and 'preps.' The artsy kids somehow reason that they deserve Converses more than the preps because Converse shoes have become a symbol of 'individuality' (which is a word that's meaning has become extremely jumbled), when in reality the jocks or preps were the ones who would actually be entitled to the shoes if the system worked that way. This is because of the fact that in 1918, a basketball player popularized these shoes.
In any case, Converse shoes have been around for almost 90 years and are still selling, even though they have hardly changed an inch. Some people claim to have territory over these shoes when, in actuality, they are just canvas and rubber that you stick your smelly feet into.

When two or more people are having a conversation and something is said that when taken out of context makes absolutely no sense, and a seperate person or group hears that particular phrase. This can result in a multitude of reactions from the group that overheard the conversation with the standard "What the hell are you talking about?!" being most common.

Get the Conversation Transfer Effect mug.A ratio used in project evaluation in relationship investment management.
A prudent relationship investor in times of financial and emotional turmoil would seek the best relationship investment options to which he would invest his liquid assets. The criteria used in evaluations of said investment options are, but not limited to, the level of visible beauty, intelligence and ability to hold a conversation and body charactersitcs what for purposes of quick evaluation can be summed up in the form of 'boobs to ass cover ratio'.
Having said that, the 'boobs to ass cover ratio', or BTACR, is the relationship between the circumference of the said boobs over the circumference of the ass of the said investment option. The rule of thumb is, if BTACR<1, reject the option, and if BTACR>1, proceed.
The existence of this ratio is justified by the abundance of relationship options that entice investors with cleavage, displaying the acceptable boob circumference to mislead the investor, whereas the ass circumference is or may be much larger, and thus constituting a bad relationship investment option, dubiously named 'fat bird'. The options that satisfy the BTACR requirement are usually referred to as “large cup stocks”.
