Sorry to brazen my way in here to give the VERB use definition also...

Verb phrase 5. brazen out / through, to face boldly or shamelessly: He prefers to brazen it out rather than admit defeat.

These uppity new age supposedly Catholic nuns brazenly tell the Vatican that the papal rep charged with overseeing them isn't really welcome at their conference. The idea of some WOMENS RIGHTS type nuns challenging the church makes my head want to explode.

Argentinian punk's brazen hit to the groin of Carmelo Anthony in US Olympic Basketball game was shameless.

Now is the time for us to show what kind of up-brazen we’ve had.

Obama’s brazen attempts to change the direction and values of this country are Communist/Marxist in inception and will be turned back in Novemeber.

The President—cool, smug, and brazen
His followers think he’s amazin’
If the world weren’t so nuts
He’d work at Dunkin’ Donuts
“Hey, Soetoro, these creme-filleds need glazin’”

this is so true. and it's enough to gag you. en route to a caps game this past spring, xshub and i drove through most of DC to get to the Verizon Center. he and i met working at a law firm right out of school and were among the throngs of young people from all over the country who came to DC for jobs etc. And here we were driving past a new crop of them 30 years later. it was gross.

I remember being at a party of these types back in the day. A guy was telling me how he had gone to the KENNEDY SCHOOL. I had no idea what it was, didn’t act remotely impressed bc it didn’t register with me at all. i told xshub about it afterwards and he roared, said it was the Kennedy School of Gov’t at Harvard. Oh well, meant not a thing to me. Still doesn’t!

this is of absolutely NO moment. i stopped at Starbucks this AM as i always do en route to work, had no idea it was Starbucks appreciatioan day, there was not a thing in there to indicate it, and not a soul in there, worker or customer, was there because of or in support of gay marriage. They were the regs who are there every day at the same time i am. Even had i known it was starbucks appreciation day i would have stopped anyway, bc DD is a mile out of my way in the other direction. i always thought starbucks coffee tasted like crap until i acquired a taste for it and now DD while it tastes good to me, doesn't taste STRONG enough.

Brazen

This makes me think of the story of the donkey named Donkey Hotey. Noisy beast he was until his brazen caused him to end up in the stew pot after a thorough braisin’.

You might say the burro became the burrito.
