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."

barretts privateers

A great song by Stan Rogers (May he rest in peace)
A (fictional) story song about a man aboard a scrawny boat called Antelope, in the year 1776, the height of the American Revolution. They were hunting the seas for American Gold
She was attacked by Americans near Montego Bay, Jamaica.
She was ultimately sunk.

The antagonist of the song finally made it back to his homeport of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Six years after the Antelope was sunk.

It's also a great drinking song.

Person 1: 'Man, we should start singing Barretts Privateers!'
Person 2: 'Sure!'

God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-DRINK MORE BEERS! (Originally Shed No Tears)
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.

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.
