Buckland (noun), term to describe a drinking establishment which is largely populated by loud young men, (see Buck, young) e.g. a sports bar, or cavernous, cacophonous bar without any seats.

Example: "The Red Lion used to be such a nice pub, but now they've re-opened as Goalz, it's a real Buckland".

Brandywine (noun), drink which is popular with young men in Buckland establishments. A new trend taking over from the more traditional pint of ale, this is an alcoholic beverage which is sweeter but more potent (see alcopop).

Example: "'Ere, Daz, I can drink 10 bottles of this 'ere Brandywine in one hour. Try that with Stella."

Brandybuck (noun), a young man who is fond of the Brandywine.

Example: "I think we'll try a quieter pub, Margaret, this place is full of Brandybucks."
