brillant 

Being incompetent, having a grossly inflated sense of one's competence, and possibly being lazy too, with the result being a very bad (or non-working) design or implementation. Often used in conjunction with the name "Paula". Originates from a post on The Daily WTF (an online forum discussing examples of bad programming practices) where a lazy programmer named Paula had coded exactly five lines of Java for a major project in several months and had managed to bullshit her way through weekly meetings regarding her progress. One of the lines was:

private String paula = "Brillant";

whose sheer elementariness, inappropriateness in production code, narcissism and self-inflation, with a weird spelling for "Brillant" on top of everything else, was deemed memorable.

Ballantine Ale 

An american ale, originally made in Newark, NJ but is now made elsewhere. Still found primarily on the East Coast and New Jersey. Often sold in 40oz bottles and pint cans. my favorite cheap beer straight up. dont get it twisted this is not 'malt liquour' like OE, Colt45, etc. Drank by old men, gangstaz, derelicts, and beer lovers alike!

first beer i got smashed on face down in the snow.
i bought a six pack of 16oz Ballantine Ales for 5 bux.

Ballantines Day

Instead of spending February 14 with a lover/partner, you spend it alone with a bottle of Ballantines scotch whiskey.
Herb : Are you taking the mrs out for a romantic valentines day dinner?

Murray : Nah mate, I don't celebrate that hallmark holiday. I'm celebrating Ballantines Day instead.....probably won't be in to work tomorrow....or in a relationship.

ballantic
