Bradbury
by Ryan Chisholm on May 25, 2005 13:41:34
An improbable victory attained by default; achievement only made possible by the stupidity/clumsiness/misfortune of others.
Etymology: In the 2002 Winter Olympics men's 1000m
Speed Skating final, a stumble caused the four leading men to collide in
a tangle of arms, legs and blades. Australian Steven Bradbury came from behind and
coasted past his fallen competitors to win his country's first ever Winter Olympics gold medal.
To Bradbury
by M. R. Duriez on Oct 15, 2018 11:22:41
To Bradbury, in need of adding more words, yet
not working for it in a story or book, by using many synonyms for the word same, and using
commas.
Named for Ray Bradbury- and his own style of
penning words.
Example:
THIS IS AND EXAMPLE - To Bradbury- 'It’ll
never end, that’s also chance… is it not, when immortal,
memorable, well-known, famous,
illustrious, and unforgettable.'
Do a Bradbury
by White Womble on Jun 22, 2010 13:18:55
Basically its to win a contest as you're last the one standing. Came to phrase after Steven
Bradbury's inspirational gold medal at the 2002 Winter Olympics
Speed Skating event, when all other contestants
crashed out leaving im as the winner!
Example:
Robbo was struggling in last place at the Gunamundra Annual Billy Cart race, when a huge bull stormed across the path and stopped, causing the 5 billy carts in front to
veer off the track in to the scrub and
out of the race. Crowd were cheering "Do a Bradbury" as he
crossed the line as the victor!
Charlie Bradbury
by lilybet on May 08, 2013 14:08:44
the single most badass female character (with the possible exception of Meg) to ever appear on Supernatural. Charlie is a gamer, a Woman of Letters, and a genius. Adopted
little sister of
the Winchesters. Idolizes
Hermione Granger.
Example:
SPN fan #1: Man the show is getting
way better at
representing queer characters!
SPN fan #2: Yeah, it's all thanks to the little ball of badass that is Charlie Bradbury!
Freddy Bradbury

A guy named Freddy Bradbury will
capture you with his good looks and you will fall for him forever. His smile lights up anyone’s world and his laugh. He’s very funny and weird in a good way. He’s also very fit of course and has good style. He’s very popular and is a
skater boy. He’s definitely
boyfriend material but obviously i haven’t trialed that yet.
Example:
Girl 1: oh is that Freddy Bradbury?
Girl 2: yes omg he’s so
fit i’ve literally
liked him for a year

Ugh, Mrs. Bradbury gave me

Bradbury gambit
by Soubriquet11 on Apr 24, 2021 07:49:41
Named for Steven
Bradbury's 2002 winter olympic
speedskating gold medal victory, simply by being the last mf standing. The fine art of letting the rest of the field dnf themselves or near enough that they are no longer a threat. While you skate on through to nab
the EZ Clap gg's.
Example:
Perp1: This is a fuckin' fast field, and our car is toast after the last heat.
Perp2: Their rides are just as fried,
if I stay out of trouble I could Bradbury gambit and
podium, they are driving like
maniacs out there.
