beef trust (n.) [ironic use of SE beef trust, a conglomerate of beef producers/processors; orig. late 19C carnival use, created by showman W.B. ‘Billy’ Watson (born Isaac Levy; 1852–1945), who thus named his sideshow of grotesquely overweight women, the term was later adopted in his burlesque to describe a chorus-line of notably large girls; Watson also created the chicken trust, composed thin and reportedly beautiful women]
- (Aus./US) an obese person, a group of obese people [with examples dated 1914-2002]

Or at least 79 of their personalities!
His optometrist kept trying to sell him on glasses, but all he needed was to remember to raise his desk.
Also, he'd been wondering for months where that doohickey on the back left corner of the desk had been. "Why did I put it on the under shelf? Oh, right. That was the evening I had that bad trip and spent the evening hiding under my desk."
Great. I'll be way over here then, watching you. If you go crazy, I'll know it was a cosmic horror.
Every time you enter the bathroom, BAM! You wonder if the rest of the house has finally shorted out your visual cortex and given you monochromacy. When you leave it, however, the assault continues. Yay?
