BORRYNGE
n. BORRYNGE
pronounced: bo'rin'j
when there's only one thing left of many, and it's in some way flimsy, lame or generally not as good as it's predecessor(s) it is often called a 'borrynge'.
the term originates from the internet, specifically IRC where, when describing the last UK general elections, people were reportedly to have named it the 'battle of the borrynge', the reason being that it was 'like choosing from three flimsy pieces of toilet paper left on the same bogroll - they all do the same job, it's just a matter or which one will cover you in the most shit'.
