People say barely as an expression to mean. "Not at all." Basically meaning "Not even close" . People say "barely". This expression comes from a chinese-european mexican/canadian man named Bare Lee.. He invented this after his name... Bare Lee. Into Barely. This inspiration of a miracle came back from 2002, As Bare Lee was a freshman in high school he had troubles findin his classes. So at first period he found a classroom misthought of as math. But it was really french. So as he said "I FINALLY FOUND MATH CLASS" a inspiring bully exclaimed "BARELY" and Bare lee thought. Thats a good word to say. It adds my name combined to mean a phrase that defines not at all. And soon Bare Lee died and his legacy was reminded as the man who invented the word and phase Barely.

"I FINALLY DID IT, I CROSSED THE FINISH LINE"
"BARELY! YOU'RE A MILE AWAY FROM BEING DONE!"

countrypolitan

Term used to describe someone who is a mix of both rural (country) and urban (metropolitan) lifestyles/upbringings. He/she is typically equally comfortable in both settings and is able to seamlessly slip back and forth between the two, appreciating the characteristics of each.

That ol' gal of mine drives the 12 lane freeway during the week and a John Deere on the weekends. She likes opra and the Grand Ol' Opry. I love them countrypolitan women.
