Brighten

Person One: Omg, how are you Brighten?!

brighten 

Brighten... there aren’t any words to describe him. He is a love and caring and a little silly guy. And a hot one to. He will know everyone. All the lady’s will love him but he will only love one girl. Whoever that girl is... well she is the luckiest girl. Brighten is over protective and super sweet. Very loud and funny. If someone needs a jacket for warmth he will give it to you.
Person1: do you know brighten?
Person2: who doesn’t know him.

Person3: oh brighten is so hot
Person4: nah I like Trevor

Person1: oh well you need to go see a doctor if you don’t think he is hot

Brighten 

A kind, handsome, caring man. Hes always there for you and knows what to say and how to say it at the perfect time. He's there when you call and he's there even when you don't. He's persistent and won't give up on you. He'll be your bestfriend and if your lucky your husband. He's everything you need and want.

Not the brightest bulb in the chandelier 

Someone slow, dimwitted or stupid - another way of saying "Not the sharpest knife in the drawer". Also, someone who stands out in a crowd as being particularly unintelligent.
Marisa: Why does Eric even bother talking in class - he has no idea what he's talking about.

Michael: What do you expect? I mean he's not the brightest bulb in the chandelier!

Brighton University 

The University of Brighton, better known by its official name, Brighton Polytechnic.

Established sometime in the 60's as a place for dropouts from inferior schools to attend, in order to keep them off the streets. The institution has continued this proud tradition through to this day, offering courses in sleeping, incest and media studies, all worthwhile subjects for a life guaranteed to be funded by state welfare.

Around East Sussex and Brighton, it is well known as being the establishment to which people not quite smart enough to make it into Sussex University go. It is generally full of people who are so boring to talk to, that people have been known to pass out mid-interlocution.

Brighton Poly students are also known for their permanently high alcohol content, proficiency at activities that involve bouncing various kind of ball, and the universal ability to skin a reefer in under 30seconds.

The entry requirements to the academic world of Brighton Poly are notoriously low. Applicants are not required to have A levels, in part because many of the students are not aware of the existence of letters. Applicants merely have to demonstrate that they do not drag their knuckles as they perform locomotive tasks, and proficiency with a cigarette lighter is guaranteed to secure entry.

All three of the Brighton Poly sites are located in the dodgiest parts of Brighton and Eastbourne, just where they belong.
"They're just a polytechnic" sung by Sussex Uni students at the back of the bus 25 to taunt Brighton University Students, in the style of the Football chant.
