carapace \KAIR-uh-pace\, noun:
  1. The thick shell that covers the back of the turtle, the crab, and other animals.
  2. Something likened to a shell that serves to protect or isolate from external influence.
Carapace comes from French, from Spanish carapacho, itself of uncertain origin.
 
brown out

  • Less intense than the experience of "blacking out" when drunk and not remembering portions (or all) of your night, "browning out" occurs when you don't remember something until someone brings it up. It's not a complete blackout, but partial, because you remember once someone refreshes you.
I didn't even remember making out with Bryanne until J-Lo told me (it must not have been that good)! I definitely had a brown out last night.
