adj. describes something that it is really good, not completely spectacular perhaps, but definitely worth praising. If it's extra special, 'beans on toast with cheese on top' is also appropriate.
As an aside, I'd like to take issue with 'anonymous' who has also posted a definition of 'beans on toast'.
Firstly, is this website a recipe board of some sort? Don't the definitions have to have an alternative or slang meaning? Will we be seeing 'cheeseburger, a beef patty between two halves of a sesame seed bun' on here next?
Secondly, not even the British consider beans on toast a delicacy. It's a quick and easy snack, that's all.
Thirdly, 'why do you need the toast?' Why not have toast? Do you only ever eat one food group at a time? Are you saying you'd eat spaghetti bolognese without the spaghetti? Or is this some sort of Atkins diet concern you have?
Aaaand relax...

Get the bealsing mug."Poverty Beams" are the glare producing headlights that lower class and/or undereducated persons have created by putting cheap HID retrofit plug and play capsules into older, conventional halogen headlight housings, in a vain, failed attempt make their old, valueless car appear more modern and upscale. The telltale glare of Poverty Beams is like a bat-signal of poorness that alerts anyone within visible range that the owner of said $80 ebay modification doesn't have two nickels to rub together. The bright glare of poverty beams is a failed attempt by the lower class to mimick the bright, white light emitted by projector HID headlights that modern, luxurious cars come from the factory with. The problem that said lower class persons don't understand is that a projector lens is needed in front of the extremely bright light emitted by an HID arc to focus it. Poverty beams result in a tell-tale glare to oncoming drivers because an HID arc scattered by a conventional halogen reflector results in a bright but unfocused beam, and poor quality pattern. Most often seen on $1500 junker police auction crown vics, chevy impalas, old expeditions, and lots of old junk imports like Honda civics. A real projector HID retrofit can be performed to most older cars to update their headlight performance to be on par with modern cars that come standard with projector HID's, but none of the cars you will see Poverty Beams on are ever worth such cost.
Look at the Poverty Beams coming down the road on that vomit comet crown vic. Damn, you know that guy works at Burger King.

Get the Beans mug.It's a British sort of joke phrase such that when asked the reply or answer is:
Bean, bean, bean and a half, half a bean and a bean.
My father used to ask me this when I was young and it was told to me as,
"Two beans, a bean and a half, half a bean and a bean."
After looking at various sources trying to figure out why anyone started saying this at all, I came across many versions. They all seem to contain most of the following parts in some arrangement: two beans, a bean, bean and a half and half a bean. I decided on this version because if listen you can hear the rhythm like a poem.
"Bean, bean, bean and a half, half a bean and a bean."
Oddly about 1 in 5 of the answers didn't actually add up to 5 beans.
Bean, bean, bean and a half, half a bean and a bean.

The father turned to his little boy and asked, "How many beans make 5?" To which his son replied with great enthusiasm,
"Bean, bean, bean and a half, half a bean and a bean!"
"Bean, bean, bean and a half, half a bean and a bean!"
