boilerplate

1. The standardized, non-specific parts of a contract; the fine print that gets tacked on by lawyers to protect themselves and their clients.

2. The unsubscription notice at the bottom of bulk emails from the spam operations that bother to pretend that they comply with the CANSPAM legislation. (first used by Paul Graham in his groundbreaking essays on spam)

Origin: The American Press Association shared its building with a sheet-iron processing plant when it was founded 1892. Chicago printers dubbed the noisy American Press offices a boilerplate factory, and boilerplate became the word used to refer to the third-rate filler that the syndicated news agency turned out.

bonglie

This term has been in use in the Highlands of Scotland for at least 30 years. It is a slightly uncomplimentary term for a tourist.

"Here in the Scottish Highlands we call tourists 'Bonglies' I have been calling them that for so long I will not be able to call them anything else."

"In the summer at the weekend we too get walkers (or bonglies as they are not so affectiontly known) who think its ok to trapse sic through the yard instead of using hill track like they are supposed to."

"... the bonglies (white settlers) in residence have put sign on the lawn saying, 'Trespassers will be whipped and sent to the colonies"

"All shops in the highlands retailing to 'visitors' (bonglies, grockles, terrorists etc) are obliged to play enya & celtic harp wailing"

.... All found by using a well-known search engine

Boiled Peanuts

A delicious snack consisting of green (raw), unshelled peanuts boiled in salt water. This delicacy is typically purchased in gas station parking lots and roadside vegetable stands and consumed by southerners of all socio-economic backgrounds. Almost always served in Styrofoam cups and wrapped in the skimpiest napkin ever made, this salty snack is intended to be shared with family and friends although it is not uncommon for asocial types to devour the whole cup as to not share any with his wife/mistress.

Boiling Springs

Town in the middle of nowhere with four black people, no stoplights, and one gas station where everyone gets their chew. If you drink, you go to mountain road extension. If you go to school (even if its once a week), it's the tight halls of BSHS. And if you fuck up, everyone knows about it. LET'S GO BUBBLERS.

Let's go to Boiling Springs so we can do nothing.
