1. Contraction of breakfast and lunch, usually occurring around the hour of 11 a.m. Typically reserved for snobs and biddies who like tea and jam.
“Muffy, would you care for a bit of brunch after tennis? I can make reservations at the Forsythia Garden Tea House.”
“Splendid. Do.”
2. It’s not quite breakfast, it’s not quite lunch, but it comes with a slice of cantaloupe at the end. You don’t get completely what you would get at breakfast, but you get a good meal.
Helen Lovejoy: Well, I had just finished eating and was about to leave when I looked over this way and said to myself, “Why, isn’t that Marge Simpson over there, having brunch with a man who isn’t her husband?”
3. A weekend ritual for twenty-something New Yorkers involving the sharing of the first meal of the day with friends after a night of debauchery. Brunch can occur any time after noon and before 5 p.m. on either Saturday or Sunday and serves as a great way to catch up with friends over moderately priced food as well as bloody marys, mimosas or several glasses of champagne. Post-brunch activities often include napping or drunk shopping.
Sunday brunch is like gay church.
4. The most important gay meal of the day.
I was having lovely brunch with Kenny and Chester at Over Easy the other day. You really should try their sassy eggs. They’re fabulous!
5. A new meal added between breakfast and lunch. All in all, a very difficult concept to understand.
If I microwave some leftover pizza, but do so at eleven in the morning, would it be classified as breakfast or brunch?
