Barretting 

Working endlessly on a really difficult literature assignment. The word came from Ms. Barrett, an intimidating and yet loving literature teacher.
Non-Barretter: "Hey wanna go out for movies tonight?"
Barretter: "Nah, about 3 more hours of barretting to go, on the writings of Emerson."

Non-Barretter: "I read books to entertain myself."
Barretter: "I read books to find the Truth."

Barretting 

Not wanting a person yet leading them on.
Once that person moves on and you randomly hit them up so that they never get over you. Popping in occasionally to ensure that they're still on your mind.
person 1: I wonder what Alex is doing
Person 2: you don't even like him any more leave him slob n and stop barretting him.

Barretting 

Leading on a person you have no true interest in. Popping in and out of a life in times of boredom . Checking in to make sure a person is thinking of you especially in the process of moving on.
He was barretting the fuck out of her every time she gets it together here he comes popping up.
When you shart, piss, and puke a little at the same time.
Dude, did you just brett?

Im getting so fucked up I am bretting tonight.

Double Barreling

The unfortunate event, usually due to food poisoning, of vomiting and having explosive diarrhea at the same time.
Several hours after our date at the Chinese restaurant, my wife and I got food poisoning and were double barreling all night long.

Reverse Pork Barrelling 

The misappropriation of government funds to marginal electorates when close to an election, with the intention of winning more seats.
First used by Senator McKenzie of LNP in January 2020, in relation to the awarding of $100 million sports grants prior to the 2019 elections.

After being found by the ANAO to have run a biased and parallel assessment to Sports Australia, she was asked, "Did you pork barrell?" Bridget replied,

"Well if anything... there's a case of reverse pork barrelling going on" She went on to explain how because of her intervention and process, that a greater number of projects were supported in Labour electorates. The Auditor general found that she had favoured marginal seats.
