An expression coined when one cannot think of anything else to say.
Orig: the famous Monty Python sketch about
the penguin on the television set.
Graham Chapman forgot his line/lost his place, and improvised with the word 'burma'.

cleese: penguins don't come from next door they come from the
Antarctic!
chapman: Burma!
cleese: .....why'd you say 'burma'
chapman: I panicked

An undesirable female.
In order to officially qualify as a
burma, the woman must meet at least two of the following three
criteria:
1. She must be old.
2. She must be fat.
3. She must be mean, or have an otherwise exceptionally terrible personality.
The male equivalent of this word is
burmo.
Example:
That
burma just shit her pants at the grocery store.
Have you ever ever met
Frank's mom? Such a burma, dude.
