more than one roaster joked that bieber is a lesbian.<\/p>\n

speaking of lesbians, if u like to practice english watching netflix<\/strong>, u have definitely come across orange is the new black<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, the series that details the activities and histories of a varied group of women in a prison.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h6>\n
taylor schilling plays piper chapman on orange is the new black.<\/em><\/h5>\n

it is a well written show with a <\/em><\/strong> (original) cast of characters, but given the prison environment, the stories are not always nice and the english used<\/a> is informal and offensive to some tv viewers. other critics say the characters are not original.<\/p>\n

about people who don’t like the show says the main character piper<\/strong> is a hasbian<\/strong><\/em>, a slang word that combines has-been<\/em> and lesbian<\/em>. it means someone who was a lesbian but left it behind to become heterosexual<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"francis<\/a><\/h6>\n
both <\/em>kevin spacey<\/em><\/a> and <\/em>francis underwood,<\/em><\/a> his character on house of cards, are <\/em>has-beens<\/em><\/u>.<\/em><\/h5>\n

another netflix series, bojack horseman,<\/strong> represents an excellent example as well.<\/p>\n

this <\/a>daily beast <\/a><\/strong>review<\/a> calls the title character a hollywood has-been<\/em> and a washed-up<\/em> <\/em><\/strong> (not anymore) tv star.<\/p>\n

has-been<\/em> is an apt<\/a><\/em><\/strong> (correct, appropriate) description of bojack<\/strong> as he is famous for a tv comedy series he starred in that hasn’t been in production since 1996. washed-up<\/em><\/strong>, similar to has-been<\/em>, describes someone whose talent has severely decreased<\/em> or disappeared.<\/em><\/p>\n

and the two main characters in quentin tarantino<\/strong>‘s successful 2019 film once upon a time in hollywood<\/em><\/strong> are rick dalton, played by leonardo dicaprio<\/strong> and his longtime stuntman and friend, cliff booth, played by brad pitt<\/strong>. this clip portrays dalton’s greatest fear in the movie and is central to the plot<\/em><\/strong> (story).<\/p>\n
