Define The Albatross Meaning

Albatross
A metaphor for a dead weight or burden that one must carry, especially when the burden is not a literal one but a stigma of some kind that one cannot easily discard or throw off. The name comes from a story about a sailor who killed an albatross that was following his ship, an act thought to bring bad luck upon the ship. His fellow sailors made him wear the dead albatross around his neck as penance to ward off the bad luck.

Joe: I have wonderful news! I finally got laid last night!

Jim: Congrats, man! Doesn't it feel good to not have that albatross around your neck any more?

The Albatross
An encounter where one woman gathers at least 10 other men and pleasures each one of them at once. She does this by entering into an open squat and placing each man's penis into both armpits, both elbow joints, both hands, both knee joints, her vagina/anus/both, and her mouth. The awkward and frantic motion of a flapping bird gives the impressive feat its name.

"Man this seems like a sausage fest here"

Albatrossing
Verb - To albatross someone.

An act of albatrossing involves isolating a friend within a fairly close network and harassing him or her through relentless and hilarious cyber-terrorism, using images of an albatross as the visual medium.

Phase 1: Post 20-25 images of albatrosses on their facebook wall.

Phase 2: Send a group text to your friends encouraging them to send a series of text messages to the target saying 'albatross' and nothing else. At no point reveal to the victim why you are doing this.

Phase 3: Send out a facebook message to all your mutual friends, requesting that they bombard the victim with albatross related humour. This can take any form ranging from, texts, voicemails, phone calls, facebook posts (including fun facts about albatrosses), changing one's profile picture to an albatross..or even entering their home and covertly hiding photos of albatrosses around their room.

Phase 4: Sit back and enjoy the ride, as a movement it will take on a mind of its own.

"The days of riding the walrus are over...it's time to ride the albatross"

Ed - "the albatrossing has been relentless, today I opened my laptop to find a magazine cut-out of an albatross. How has the entire world been galvanised against me"

At length did cross an Albatross:
Thorough the fog it came;
As if it had been a Christian soul,
We hailed it in God's name.

It ate the food it ne'er had eat,
And round and round it flew.
The ice did split with a thunder-fit;
The helmsman steered us through!

And a good south wind sprung up behind;
The Albatross did follow,
And every day, for food or play,
Came to the mariners' hollo!

In mist or cloud, on mast or shroud,
It perched for vespers nine;
Whiles all the night, through fog-smoke white,
Glimmered the white Moon-shine.

"God save thee, ancient Mariner!
From the fiends, that plague thee thus!--
Why look'st thou so?"--With my cross-bow
I shot the ALBATROSS.
