A social situation when one male friend calls out another in a group to allay or deflect from their own insecurities. Reasons for why this is done are not yet understood.
Me and Jake went out last night. He kept calling me out and saying things that made me look bad. It was a complete Beta-max situation.

Get the Beta-max mug.A beta plus or beta max male is everything your everyday run of the mill beta is, plus some. Not only do they bitch out with women, they also do with males and have no idea how to socially interact most of the time.
Beta Plus, even if he paid for it, he probably wouldn't know how to engage in any kind of motions that lead him to intercourse. Ends up getting a handjob and counts that as virginity lost. Probably addicted to feet pics
Beta Max, being the top tier, and maybe even most helpless of the beta. Likely a virgin by default. Pays for any interaction from women who are scamming them and it is a 50/50 chance that those women are men, catfishing. Does it anyway for the thrill of being fucked. Addicted to feet pics and socks.

Get the Beta-maxxing mug.In the late '70s and early '80s, a format war ensued between two video cassette formats, VHS and Betamax. These two competing standards for recording video onto cassettes both tried to make their format look as good as possible. Betamax arguably had better picture quality, according to many experts, but VHS won mainly because of it's longer recording time and cheaper recorder price.
So, Betamax lost the format war. But many professional recorders leaned toward Betamax because of its better picture quality compared to VHS. It didn't fade into obscurity right away, but when VHS achieved near total dominion, it was mostly forgotten. On a standard L-500 tape, a Betamax recorder could record 1 hour with Beta 1 recording speed, and 2 hours with Beta 2 speed. VHS, on the other hand, could record 2 hours on SP (the equivalent of Beta 1) and 4 hours on LP (the equivalent of Beta 2). This short recording time, combined with a variety of other factors like less advanced timers, caused the downfall of Betamax.
Since the main purpose of owning a videocassette recorder was timeshifting, or recording programs to watch at a specific time, the timer and recording length were very important. Betamax had neither of these going in their favor, so it lost the fairly drawn-out format war.
Betamax was developed by Sony, and was first to market, but eventually, even though a very big company had a first-to-market advantage, they still lost because of the fatal flaws the product had.

In 1980, a customer has to decide between a Betamax or VHS VCR.
Customer: "Hmmm... Should I get the more expensive Betamax machine with a less advanced timer, more expensive tapes, less recording time per tape, a smaller library, and better picture quality, or the VHS machine that is less expensive, has a larger movie library, cheaper tapes, more recording time per tape, but worse picture quality?"
"Betamax is dead, long live VHS!"
