Holding cells were called "bullpens" because police officers were at the time called bulls. Bullpens are still the name inmates call holding cells. You are held in the bullpen at county jail until the bus takes you to court. At court you are held in another bullpen until you are called in front of the judge. Then you are escorted back to the bullpen and are held there until all the inmates are called in front of the judge. Then everyone is escorted back to the bus and sent back to county jail where you sit in another bullpen until you are escorted back to your housing unit.
Bullben: variant of bullshit though much more extreme. A fibber, a liar, a conceited little jerk wad kiss ass who thinks he or she is exceptional among all others. Can also mean that's not true or that's not fair or that's fucked up.
A practice that involves transporting prisonersback and forth needlessly from jail to jail or precinct to precinct. Named so because the cell looks like a bullpen, symbolically representing the fenced in area of a "bull's pen", where bulls wait before being sent off to the slaughter.
I asked ted if he wanted to stay for another drink. Said he was going home for an Aggressive bullpen session after being turn down by the chick at the bar.
A carefully selected grouping of women that a man is dating on a semi regular, rotation basis where no real commitment is delivered on his part to anyone of them......and where each woman in the bullpen is tagged with a designation....such as "the Ace".. She gets the nod to attend family gatherings or the "Middle Reliever".... The one that can be called most anytime and is available...and finally the "Closer".... The late night (I'll be over in a minute) call response.
Gerry’s hasn’t been with the same girl twice in a row since I explained to him the benefits of building and correctly managingthe bullpen rotation.
1. In baseball, the bullpen (sometimes referred to as just "the pen") is the area where relief pitchers warm-up before entering a game. Depending on the ballpark, it may be situated in foul territory along the baselines or just beyond the outfield fence.
2. It also refers to an office workspace populated with desks but no separating cubicles or walls.
1. Goose Gossage warmed up before the 7th inning and then went into the game to trounce whoever his team at the time (White Sox, Yankees, Padres or Mariners) happened to be playing.
2. Finch from Just Shoot Me works at the periphery of the bullpen, right outside his boss's door.
