It comes from the song of the same name from the American band Mastodon. The song is about drug addicts cutting down trees with burls. Those burls - with their beautiful curls - are then sold to wood workers, which in turn allows them to buy even more drugs.

"It's just the curl of the burl
That's just the way of the world"
If you mess with them you'll end up dead. That's just the curl of the burl.

The inverse relationship of convenience of defecation and urge to defecate. As the need or desire to defecate increases, the convenience of such action decreases in like manner. The ultimate culmination of said paradox occurs when it is both infinitely necessary to defecate and also infinitely inconvenient.
Blown from the inside out. Guess our agent thought he could hold off through the drug deal and then Burling's Tendency hit. Looks like his cover wasn't the only thing that was blown...

An authentic phrase, straight from the weight room of Tumwater High School, located in TumH2o, T-Town, or Tumwater, Washington. It's my belief that the first use of this phrase was during the powerlift of an illiterate redneck. He seemed to have overheard someone say the word burly in reference to strength. The redneck was intrigued. So at the hardest point during his lift he yelled "Go Burls!!!!!!", Not being able to fully annunciate the 'Y' in burly due to the tobacco in his lip, he immediatley replaced it with an 'S', he single handedly started the "go burls" generation. Many people have gone burls since, and everyone continues to, it has become the slogan of many a Tumwater sports team.
Kelly- Hey man, what are you doing?

- Correct pronunciation of former below average New York Jets head coach. Born the great day of November 18th, in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

- Another way of saying Todd Balls or Todd Bowls.
- Most common deviation: Todd Turlet Burls. His correct name truly is Todd Toilet Bowls as his coaching record got worse each season. Thus signifying his coaching career as going deep down the "Todd Turlet Burl".
"Can't wait to move on from Todd Burls."
