A combination of branding and bland. Used to indicate corporate homogenization. Can also apply to corporate interference in the arts, as in the case of Starbucks forming a music label.
"This street used to be full of interesting shops but now it's only Burger Kings and Walmarts."
During a hit and run investigation, this is the shape a body makes once the white sheet is placed on it. The dead body will then resemble a burrito to people passing by in their cars, which in turn then makes them hungry for a burrito. It is named for the road such an incident took place on; Blanding Blvd.
Jesus Christ that's horrible! That poor person got hit by a car and became a Blanding Burrito! Say...that actually makes me a little hungry for a burrito.
A term used for degrading a victim in torture. This can be done by forced nudity and humiliation. Human Branding is a more exciting way unless you're used to burning people, that is.
Human Branding is quite self-explanatory. You grab an iron brand, heat it up, and stick it on the person wherever you please. Rapists and Paedophiles should have it placed on both testicles and face. That's after carefully slicing the tip of the penis "to put such predators out of use before being released onto our streets" and to assist the prey identify the predator.
Think of it like giving an extremely painful tattoo to them. It does cause a good amount of pain, after all nobody likes having burning hot metal pressed onto their skin, or in the Rapist and Paedophiles eyes "Ball-sacks".
Because of how livestock are branded, human branding can be seen as a way of showing the victim's reduction in the status of their life. It's almost as if they are property now.
A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing peecalculus.
