Buurthuis Het Geschilde Tomaatje

One of the most revolutionary culinary establishments in the Netherlands. Famous internationally for it's free beer., it literally means 'Community Center: The Peeled Tomato'.
Simply one of the better places to drink a lot of beer without having to pay for it, sometimes you can even earn money by ordering beer at this restaurant, because it's a non-profit organization.
Other restaurants in the area hate this establishment for its low prices
This restaurant sucks, the beer isn't even free, it's not even close to a Buurthuis Het Geschilde Tomaatje-like establishment

burden of proof 

Your responsibility to prove or provide evidence for a claim you have made, without being allowed to change the subject or avoid backing up the claim. The sister term to a burden of proof is a red herring (a logical fallacy tantamount to derailing). When someone has the burden of proof and doesn't want to back up their statements, they will usually either commit a blatant red herring and try to sidetrack the conversation or try to shift the burden of proof onto the other person. Since few people can clearly list their beliefs and evidence about global warming, economic models and policies, and cause-and-effect social claims ("legalizing marijuana will make everyone into a drug addict!"), this will remain a major problem for many years to come.
Guy 1: There is indisputable proof that God exists. Guy 2: May I see this proof? Guy 1: No. It is your job to prove that God does not exist. Guy 2: I do not have the burden of proof here. I claimed nothing.

Guy 1: Donald Sterling is a terrible person. He should lose all of his money, his job, and never be seen in the public eye again. Guy 2: Can you defend the claim that he's a terrible person? Guy 1: I know him well, on the basis of hearing a phone conversation of his. All people like him are the same. They are racists and they need to go down! Guy 2: Slow down there. You have a burden of proof to prove that 1) he's a terrible person. 2) you can judge someone enough based on a brief phone call to know they're a terrible person 3) all such people need to go down (whatever that means). Guy 1: I'm not going to discuss this! He's a racist and that's it! Guy 2: Please be a mature adult and respect that to continue this dispute, you must address your own burden of proof.

snuff burden 

An unfortunate inability to return home after a night out without a munter in tow. One who bears the snuff burden is liable to copulate with the ugliest, fattest, most vile women under the dillusion that they are mildly attractive.
Did you see that bird he got off with last night? He was definitely under the snuff burden.
