Bridgend Athletic
A really mediocre rugby team, based in Bridgend (south wales), who are famous for having the attitude that each player in all their age groups is god's gift. It's this awful way of thinking, as you would know if you knew them, that makes them "a cut above" in their own minds. In the event that they do lose a game or they clearly don't live up to their own ridiculous expectations, they are keen to blame; the ref being bad, "not playing their normal starting side", injuries, weather and (my personal favorite) a biased ref - as if any of these are acceptable. Among the other local rugby teams (and rugby teams as far as cardiff or swansea), there is a commonly used phrase "Athed".
Being Athed is when somebody or some player spends to long around people or players who convince them that said player is the best thing since sliced bread. In short, almost a brainwashing affect which changes the said player's attitudes more like the typical Bridgend Athletic attitudes. The process of "Athing" as it were, doesnt have to be done by supporters/players of Bridgend Athletic. It can be done to ANYONE by ANY TEAM. The same principle could apply to any other sport just as well.

Person1: Bob's been spending allot of time with those guys from ________ R.F.C lately don't you think?
Person2: Yeah i know right! he was saying the other day about how much better he reckoned was than Dai and how easily _______ R.F.C would beat Dai's team!
Person1: Well everybody kind of knows that Dai is better than Bob, even though Bob is also a good player. Most people who say or think otherwise are looking through rose tinted spectacles on Bob's behalf. He was a nice enough guy who just got on with it before, but now he's been made to think more of himself, being convinced he is better than Dai.
Person2: It's not fair to blame him though those guys down at _______ R.F.C have been Athing him for ages.
Person1: Yeah, he's been totally Athed.
Guy2: AGREED!

Brideen
Brideen is an AMAZING girl. She is flipping gorgeous and has dang hot shoulders. Her fabulous hair is enough to make anyone tremble. Brideen always smells of oranges because she loves being healthy. She has an amazingly hilarious personality that anyone can agree with. Brideen is always funny and just a bit insane. She is insanely brilliant, but can be forgetful at times. She is an amazing friend who can always cheer you up. You really should find yourself a Brideen if you don't have one.

Bridgend
A town in South Wales, the centre of which is packed with drug dealers, addicts, gamblers, steroid monkeys, prostitutes, ex-convicts, sluts and thugs ranging from 14-40 year olds, a few shops, a couple of shit corrupt nightclubs and on a Friday or Saturday night a riot van and possibly an ambulance. If one were to venture in on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday you would likely see many marvellous sights, such as a vast number of fights, blood splatters and broken glass across most of the floor, a good few people in handcuffs and maybe even some bloke getting sucked off down an alley.
Then as you proceed out of the centre you have many neighbourhoods and a recreation centre filled with 'crews' who go round looking for fights with other 'crews' whilst drinking on the street, that is if they aren't off their faces on some illegal substance. These neighbourhoods often have loud house parties and boy racers driving in a hatchback with an exhaust the size of the moon, playing music through a subwoofer more expensive than the car itself.
As you proceed out again you have small pleasant villages where none of the trouble actually happens, as there are no pubs, clubs or parties within walking distance.

Best friends, brothers, peers, family.
Historically; used in a familial sense. Plural form of brothers. Generally used in a sociological, religious, or cultural sense.
Has acquired a cultural meaning with the integration of African roots and history into other countries, especially in a Black Zionist context.
