Slippery Brick

Insult used by Irish dairy farmers in the mid-eighteenth century to imply that someone was like butter (aka slippery, as in untrustworthy). Kind of a catchall insult similar to « fuck you! »

Ye took my cow, ye slippery brick!

I canna believe ye slept with Connor’s wife, ye really slipped his brick.

Listens like a brick

1. Fails to obey commands. Sits there and seems to listen, but then fails to respond in a commensurate way.

2. Hears good advice, then blatantly ignores it - and usually pays the price.

"That kid listens like a brick. I told him to stop wiping snot on the towels, and here it is again!"

"So did you hear? Sandy's house got robbed - again."
"Yeah, well, she listens like a brick. The police told her three times already to keep her doors locked. You'd think she would've learned by now."

Timmy: Lemme guess, you've been living under a rock for the past 10 years.

Billy: How'd you know that?

Tear a Brick

The act of defecation. Pooping.

I hope you step on a Lego brick barefoot

When you wish for someone to be in pure agony.

Guy B: "I hope you step on a Lego brick barefoot."
Guy A: "You faggot. Don't talk to me ever again."

Brick Year

The distance one can throw a Brick in a year. The current formula for a brick year is as follows:

1 brick second = 0.46 metres = 1 second of brick throwing/collecting

1 brick launch = 2.3 metres = 5 secs = 1 entire brick throw, walk to position, reset throw

1 brick day = 39.744 km = 17280 secs

1 brick year = 14516.496 km = 6311520 secs

This is purely theoretical because the brick would last 1.75 days (30240 secs, covering 69.552km) before it stopped resembling a brick. This is a phenomenon is called a rubble length.

Thats pretty far my friend, at least 3 Brick Years i'd say.

I can't understand light-years, I wish they'd convert it to Brick Years instead.
