Brane

An abbreviation for membrane. Branes can be in any dimension up to eleven. They are the basis of the M-Theory, the leading Theory of Everything. If we take a cross-section of an eleven-dimensional membrane, we obtain a ten-dimensional string. A string is therefore a one-brane.

A reference to the showmance between Britney Haynes and Lane Elenburg who were on the 12th season of the reality show Big Brother (US). A combination of their two names.

Brane- adj- to reach a deadly point of intoxication

Looking away while important things are going on.

Braning can sometimes be warging to other places, animals, or times. It can also simply be navigating to places other than where crucial events are taking place.

A brain, especially when one is feeling dense or mentally exhausted.

verb: "to brane" - to do, say, or think the same thing as someone else, typically at exactly the same time (but this isn't required).

noun (1): "a brane" - an act of braneing (also exclamatory: "brane!", shouted when a brane occurs)

noun (2): "the brane" - within a close-knit group, the "collective consciousness" of all people who know about braneing and brane with each other on a regular basis; one's own brain

The term "brane" began within a small group of friends online who always ended up posting the exact same thing to message boards at the same time, which eventually led to one person changing the spelling of "brain" to "the brane" to create a unique in-joke in reference to the people involved "sharing one brane". It grew into other forms from there and has since also spread to a few small non-internet groups.

At least one other group started a very, very similar idea called "the brain" around the same time and completely independently (which in itself is a "brane", one could say).

A want to be punk, grunge, heavy metal group of homosexual, want to be famous, non talented, X-con, Neo Nazi, screaming monkeys, acting out their adolescents (well into their balding 40’s) wet dreams, and temper tantrums on stage, with one full set of teeth between the entire group. Followed by a handful of groupies consisting of what must be crack binging family members, indulging in this false reality with the latest drug on the block. No need to buy tickets to shows as you can hear the screaming and fighting two towns away. The lyrics, or lack of them produced by the lead singer, also often spewing santorum (from Norristown) appears to have wrote them on his mother's sofa while on a LSD binge, while also predicting the end of the world and running for president....in his own reality. This guy couldn’t be any more flaming, really, have you seen him, he has flaming tattoos and as well as a tat of him having sex with his drummer, with a reach around from ma. In-between breast feedings from mom, this Neo Nazi cult uses government funds to continue to leach off of society and to fund their manager and camera crew/persons expenses. Do yourself a favor, stab yourself in both ears, rather than have to sit through another one of these want to be half ass, lack luster attempts at what they call a performance. On a positive note, we can thank the lead singer and his family for introducing the Norristown button down to the world! Thank you.
