Le Buckle

Le Buckle (pronounced: Le Boo Clay – like in French ) is a term I coined to describe something people get similarly to like when they get an illness - but it is more psychological than anything else.

Here are some examples of how someone might get Le Buckle:

They are a fake and they know it, but they decide to convince themselves they are the real deal, and without working on becoming genuine, they just go at it whilst believing their own lies. Now if this person happens to choose to do this in a profession that bites you if you aren’t legitimate, they will certainly suffer the wrath of Le Buckle, which is much worse than a bad case of flu, and there is no over the counter medicine for it either.

Another example would be if someone decided they were going to join the marine corps or something like that but knew they were a pu$%y. That person might be able to put up a front and possibly even actually become tough and actually change in reality, however if that person fails to do so they will inevitably crumble and suffer the wrath of Le Buckle.

Here’s an example now of a situation where someone gets Le Buckle – but that is quite admirable: If someone gets involved with something that is so deep, so challenging, so intricate and tough on every level - no matter how great a warrior that person is, they will inevitably suffer the wrath of Le Buckle. However, this person, more often than not, overcomes Le Buckle and learns from it, and like how the immune system learns, this person learns to be more resistant to Le Buckle and better able to recover from it when they do get it. This person can go on to achieve great things because they develop a greater and greater resistance and recovery speed from Le Buckle.

If you were to be made president of the United States right now, you would most likely get Le Buckle, because you probably wouldn’t be able to handle it. Same with any job you get given that is beyond you. But if you can face Le Buckle and work with it and learn from it, you can become a great one.

You see people who go on American Idol and not only do they often get Le Buckle on the show, many of them get Le Buckle after having been on the show and achieved some success. This is often because they get a taste of the limelight, and then when it gets taken away from them - the get Le Buckle. They can’t handle their situation.

There is a show here in the UK called ‘The X Factor’, contestants are routines shown on television with full blown Le Buckle for entertainment. Seeing someone with Le Buckle seems to make people feel better about themselves and that’s one of the reasons why these shows are so popular.

Big brother is another example of a show that gives people Le Buckle on purpose for the sake of entertainment.  In big brother they put people in a house together for months and of course it isn’t long before the whole house is suffering from Le Buckle, some cope better than others and it is a real test of character. Many get Le Buckle both while in the house and then get it again when they leave.

I know an estate agent, that whilst does laugh at the term Le Buckle - because of its sarcastic pronounciation - who adamantly admits that he has full blown Le Buckle, because of the current situation with the credit crunch thing.

If you have Le Buckle, know that you have it, and give it a term so that you can be more conscious of it, either use my term or make up your own, but whatever you do please be aware of it.

I do sometimes wish Le Buckle on certain individuals, certain individuals who have it coming to them and we all know people like that in our lives, nearly everyone I’ve ever known who is a knob has gotten Le Buckle as a direct result of them having been a knob. They either learn that they have been a knob because having gotten Le Buckle has shown it to them, or they have let Le Buckle run its course without learning from it and simply gone on to be a knob again. But they did get Le Buckle and they did deserve it, so don’t be thinking these people go unpunished. You don’t need to punish them yourself you can just wait for them to get Le Buckle – and they most probably will get it.

I came up with the term Le Buckle because when I was in school, if someone fell over, we would say they ‘buckled’, it’s a slang word in London. I took the English slang word of ‘buckled’ and I made it sound french and serious so that I could use it to label a condition I have observed and made a note of.

Many doctors are using the term Le Buckle because they have taken a 1 on 1 from me, so please don’t feel embaressed about using it in the medical profession or just generally in the presence of medical professionals and people with PHDs, etc. Because really it’s going to be used by them soon anyway.
