Blue
on blue incident - new euphemism for "friendly fire",
itself an old euphemism for killing your own or your allies'
troops in the fog of war or stupidity. Interestingly the etmology
is a hangover from the cold war days when the bad guys were
reds and good guys were blues.
Brand
Conscious babies - popular wisdom suggests that you can now start imprinting
as early as six months, around when speech begins to develop.
Brandalism - the way that libraries, art galleries etc.
now have their walls defaced with the logos of their corporate
sponsors.
Brain
dump - usually used
as a synonym for brain storming. In fact a shockingly stupid
word to use seriously because of the obvious scatological witticisms
it invites about the contents of your head.
