An act intended to save a person money, with horrid results when drunk.
By telling the taxi to stop a few hundred metres down the road from his house, Joe had comitted a mighty act of beeravery. The police found his body in the estruary a week later.
Knowing something is incredibly stupid that makes sense to do, but you know you'll get your ass kicked for doing it. And still you step up and do it because no one else will. Or confronting you're worst fears but acting like it's nothing and facing down the fear.
A professor in a university once stressed a huge test that was coming up that was worth 3/4 of your total semesters grade. When the students got the test they were stunned. There was only one question:
What is bravery?
all the students got to work and wrote for hours, except one he tapped his pencil on the desk, smiled, andtook the test up to the teacher. It was handed back to him with a 100% at the top.
The students answer was:
This is Bravery.
A term coined by Bob Ross, he would use it as a way to describe when you have to paint something that could very easily ruin the painting. Typically it'd also be something he'd tell you not to trace or copy the way he does it.
Also usable as any time you need to do something with high risk/reward.
Bob Ross: See, you have to decide where the tree lives. This is going to be your Bravery Test
-Being scared shirtless, being 28273% terrified, but fighting anyway.
-Doing the right thing, or what is right, even if it hurts.
"Grandpa look! It's Superman! And Iron-man and Captain America! Can I be like them one day? A hero? Be courageous, and honest, and have bravery-"
"Bravery," the man sneered, "Is losing everything you have to the darkness, but still finding the light within you to fight. Are you ready to lose everything? Are you ready to die?"
False bravery that comes from hiding behind a computer screen. Includes (but is not limited to) saying things that you would never typically say in a face-to-face conversation, making empty threats to people you don't like, and/or making up lies just to get a rise out of people (also known as trolling). These individuals are usually quiet and backward in public, but talk shit about everyone they can while they are on facebook or another social networking site. When confronted in person, they back down almost instantly.
That's some great PC bravery you've got there....let's see how brave you are when I meet you in person and kick your ass
While our lifespan is the number of years we will live, our healthspan is the number of healthy years we will have and our sexspan is is the number of years we will continue to be healthy enough to continue having an active sex life.
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
