panem et circences

a) bread and circuses in Latin.

As per definitions both a) and b) above the Jodi Arias trial is IMHO nothing more than panem et circences.

panem et circences

a) bread and circuses in Latin.
b) the main raison d'être of the American media

the Latin phrase panem et circences can also be translated into modern American English as fast food and entertainment (whether it's sports, the movies, bowling, the media, or computer games) rather than bread and circuses as in The Roman Empire

1. Articles procured at an overpriced sandwich shop used for getting high.

Hey, Rolf did you score a loaf of sourdough for tonight's bread-bong? I've got some extra savory French onion to sop up with that Paneraphenalia.

Panera Broad

A girl who can almost always be found at Panera Bread. She may also talk about wanting to go to Panera often, even though no one else wants to go with her. Often dressed in white-girl attire, and she is guaranteed to post a picture of her food on her Snap story. Similar to a Starbucks Slut.

Fuckboy: Aye I heard Marissa is at Panera and wants people to meet her, should we go?

Fuckboy #2: Nah fam, she's just a Panera Broad.
