If it doesn't run steel it doesn't deserve brass

A term used in the firearm industry by enthusiasts to express their feelings on firearms and ammunition choice. Steel case ammunition is generally seen as lower quality compared to its brass brethren. This term is used to describe firearms that cannot reliably use the aforementioned steel cased ammunition and needs brass cased ammunition to function properly.

Person 1: "My AR-15 doesn't cycle Steel case ammo right."
Person 2: "Just buy better ammo"
Person 1: "If it doesn't run steel it doesn't deserve brass. I need something that will work no matter what I have."

Brass check

To confirm that a semi-automatic pistol has a bullet in its chamber, and is ready to be fired.

The user pulls the slide back slightly, looks through the ejection port, and sees the brass of the cartridge.

If the brass can be seen, the gun is ready to be fired.
If the brass is not seen, a bullet needs to be chambered in order to fire.

In the movie Collateral, Tom Cruise performs a brass check before assassinating his second target.

brass eye

A profound example of a mockumentary on TV in Britain in 1996 - a series of 6 documentaries covering such topics as Drugs (featuring a bogus drug called Cake), Good Science/Bad Science (featuring an appeal to protect people from "heavy" electricity falling out of overhead wires and squashing people!) and one special mocking the media frenzy surrounding paedophile stories. They are available on DVD and video and are totally worth a look.

Just like Bill Clinton said "I smoked marijuana but i did not inhale" the host of Brass Eye, Chris Morris said "I took ecstasy once, but i didn't swallow it!"

Bill Brasky

Fictional character from an old SNL skit featuring Will Ferrell, Alec Baldwin, John Goodman and Tim Meadows in rotation. The plot revolves around these men sitting at a bar (or other location), blind drunk, talking and reminiscing about a man named Bill Brasky. The conversation tends to highlight his sexual conquests, superhuman abilities, blasphemous exploits and disregard for human life. The skits themselves tend to follow a basic order: one man asks if the group has heard about the time Bill Brasky (did something), and another man blurts out a socially crippling confession, which is mentally discarded by the drunken group, and the story continues. Another basic component is the female passerby, who asks the men to stop being so loud, and is answered by sexist comments from the bunch. In the end, Brasky himself appears, in a forced-angle shot from his shoulder, making him truly appear ten feet tall. In recent years, similar jokes have been created about Chuck Norris and his ass-kicking potential--some have even been pulled directly from copyrighted Bill Brasky material. Also, the original videos of the skits have been increasingly hard to find but much sought after by fans of the show.

"Say, did i tell you about the time Bill Brasky went hunting?"
"I masturbate to the Teletubbies."
(long pause)
"Anyway, Brasky decides he's gonna hunt down and kill all four of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills each one of them with a machete. They all begged for their lives, except Fleagle."
"We once had a bachelor party for Brasky. He ate the entire cake before we could tell him there was a stripper in it."
