square bracket

ASCII 91 and 93 (and hence U+005B and U+005D). Used in matching pairs to denote stage directions in a play or additions to a quotation. In programming languages with C-like syntax, square brackets typically enclose array subscripts. In mathematics, their most frequent use is to denote closed intervals of real numbers. On Urban Dictionary, because they're used for markup and there are no escape sequences, opening square brackets can never appear in the text of a definition.

The standard QWERTY keyboard makes square brackets easier to type than parentheses, which is pretty silly considering how much more common parentheses are.

Bracket-Troll

a person who is not interested in sports but participates in March Madness brackets for boastful bragging rights.

Sheila doesn't ever care about basketball or any sport, but every year she does a bracket that throws all of the real basketball fans off by taking the lead every time. I don't know how she does it but she is ruining the game for us all! She's a total bracket-troll!

Brackenrich

An individual, consumed by jealousy and skewed morality, who feigns friendship with a person who believes the brackenrich can be trusted, only for the brackenrich to betray the person using information learned during the “friendship” in order to ruin someone’s professional standing or career. Especially apt when the victim is more experienced, more qualified and more popular than the brackenrich in question.

Reggie shared some personal stories with his roommate Tom over beers one night and that fucking brackenrich secretly reported him to the HR Manager the next morning.
