Barcentennial

When a bar, pub or what is otherwise largely considered drinking establishment turns 100 years old. The term applies to the entire month the establishment turns 100 not just the day or week.

Marvins celebrates its Barcentennial in June.

Bicentennial Hall 

Bicentennial Hall (McCardell Bicentennial Hall, but usually called Bi Hall) is a huge building in the northern region of Middlebury College's campus. Built around 1999 to mark the 200th anniversary of the college's founding in 1800, it has everything from chemistry labs to an observatory to what is reportedly the largest window in Vermont (but really just a lot of medium-sized windows put together). Also notable are the Armstrong Science Library, the Great Hall (which, not surprisingly, is just a really big hall), vending machines sporting everything from ice cream to flavored water beverages and high-tech lecture halls.

A popular place to study because of its proximity to a number of dorms and plenty of open classrooms, Bi Hall is populated by students just about any hour of the day. The poor cleaning staff usually arrive in the early hours of the morning; if you happen to see one while studying, you know it's time to get to bed.

Middlebury adopted an eco-friendly approach to designing the building, which uses locally forested wood on multiple floors and has automatic drapes to block out light pollution. Then again, building a 6-story science complex can't be great for Mother Nature, though they tried their best.
Overall, a cool building that students, especially science majors, should take advantage of.

Person visiting Middlebury: "Hey, what's that giant building over by your dorm? Is it a factory?"

"No, that's Bicentennial Hall, or Bi Hall for short. It's our largest academic building on campus. It's a cool place to check out and explore."

bicentennial 

Derived from a dead Mayan language. The word has for centuries been forbidden. Recently discovered in unearthed cursed Mayan ruins. Historians agree this is the worst curse word known to man.

Get the bicentennial out of here.
That Benn is a HUGE bicentennial.

Bicentennial Club 

A heavyweight version of the century club, this is a meeting or party event where the participants drink 200 shots of beer in 3 hours and 20 minutes (200 minutes) without leaving the designated party area for any reason. Many times it is encouraged to give a toast before every round, although this becomes repetitive unless there are many people present.

This is a very alcohol intensive event, as using a normal shot glass (1.5 ounces) will yield 25 cans worth of beer in the allotted time. Even a huge guy with a wicked tolerance may find it difficult to make it the entire way through without puking his guts out. Ultimately though, it is understood that it's the spirit of the thing that counts, and there is no disgrace in hurling in the trash can or pissing in the corner if you take your beer like a champ.

Joe: "Hey where are John and Mark? I thought they were going to meet us at the party."
Mike: "They were, but they're going to the bicentennial club at Frank's house."
Joe: "Oh god, I didn't know anyone actually did that. I feel sorry for Frank's carpet."

Bicentennial Club 

The Bicentennial Club was a club formed at Bishop Alemany High School in Mission Hills (Los Angeles County, CA) in 1976 for America's Bicentennial celebration. The club was notorious for sponsoring unusual events with a kitsch patriotic twist. The club has served as a mentor for other unusual clubs in its wake. The legacy of the Bicentennial Club includes a kazoo marching band, arm wrestling competitions with weight categories, paddleball competitions and square dances at lunch.
