A term used to refer to someone with a nose piercing (stud). This particular hole located on the facial region, based above the exterior of the nasal cavity. It is often used as a favourable secondary organ to assist in the art of breathing when the stud is removed. This art is practised amongst the tribes or colonies with larger noses.
"And then the Baneen removed the stud and air went into her lungs"
The Baneen is a subspecies of hawk that has an unusual hole on the side of it's nose. It can often be used as a hidden inferior breathing valve that involuntarily contracts and relaxes.
"My pet Baneen was not breathing yesterday. Why isn't it dead?"
"Don't be silly Helga, it was using its hidden breathing valve."
A once common name meaning "mother of all sons." This name was often given to daughters in poor families, where sons were preferred. Over time the name Baneen has become less popular, as it is commonly misinterpreted as "one with many partners."
"I wish to name my daughter Baneen."
"Don't do that! That name is given to women who sleep with countless men."
The Baneen is the spirit of a whirlwind, who takes the form of a Hawk. In Indian mythology, to fend off the whirlwind, you have to throw a knife directly at it's heart. This will kill the Baneen.
Child, that whirlwind is cause by the evil Baneen spirit. Only when it is killed will this horror end.
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.
