noun: related to "bitch" and "girlfriend". A snarky self identifying term that stems from American Idol's Season 8 winner Kris Allen, who apparently used the term in relation to a literal park bench on camera, but was told to not say it again on camera because with his southern accent it sounded like "bitch".

The term has been subsequently adopted by fans, most notably those from ONTD_AI.
"You already saw the new Kris Allen interview? Where at? Come on, hook a bench up!"

"Benches unite! Give 'til it hurts for Haiti!"
