Get the brunchies mug.An involuntary post brunch activity usually caused by carpooling combined with poor driver choice. Specifically, after brunch, the driver refuses to return the other riders to their respective cars thereby kidnapping them and driving to another location. Typical secondary destinations include anyplace with current drink specials but may even include a visit to the driver’s Mom’s house. Both the ambiguity and dangerous nature of future destinations are the true threat of brunch-napping.
Side effects include a seeping of cash from the wallet followed hours later by an acute headache. Remedies are few but include mutiny and/or taxi services.

Get the brunch-napp mug.A hat that you put on on a weekend morning at college when you want to go out to eat brunch but you don't want to shower first. The hat disguises the disgustingness of your unwashed hair and gives the impression that you got dressed this morning, when in fact all you did was pull some jeans on over the boxers you slept in.
Roommate #1: Man, I'm really hungry, but I don't want to shower, or put on pants, or move at all really.
Roommate #2: Dude, just get yourself out of bed, put on your brunch hat, and go get something to eat in the dining hall. You can shower tomorrow.
