Get Bent

Magic Hat and some M&MsAs part of my cleansing I’m also giving up chocolate and alcohol. Just in time I find out they now make dark chocolate M&Ms, and found my new favorite beer (Magic Hat #9). They will just have to hold off another 17 days before I can indulge again.

Some of my friends asked me if I was doing my own version of Lent. Lent occurs in the spring, 40 days before Easter. In Eastern Orthodox chuches, Winter Lent (Advent) is the 40 days before Christmas. When you combine Ben with Lent you get: Bent. So, no relation to either lents - just need to do some house cleaning. So get bent.

When seeing “Get Bent” on a T-Shirt, Flanders says, “Well, the only thing that could mean is ‘kneel down and pray.’ We’ll take the whole box. Get Bent, everyone.”

Wikipedia says:
Get bent is an American idiom intended to dismiss a person or what they are saying, and end the conversation. Similar to “Get lost” or “Go soak your head” it conveys that the interlocutor has lost the respect of the speaker and that the speaker would appreciate it if the interlocutor damaged, misplaced, or humiliated themselves.
