A term used by law students and those in the legal profession to refer to large private firms in the US. These firms are typically located in NYC, Chicago, or Washington DC and have impressive multi-million dollar offices in skyscrapers, complete with full libraries that are rarely used. Many law students initially aspire to work for a Big Law firm.
The seduction:
> Six-figure salaries, as much as $150k right out of school
> Internship during school, which mostly involves a reduced workload with lavish lunches and trips to baseball games
> Company perks, like leased Beamers or season tickets to MLB or NBA games
The reality:
> 2500 to 3000 billable hours, which translates to 80-90 hour work weeks
> 7am-7pm five days a week, often half day on Saturday, so you don't have time to use your Knicks tickets anyway
> Over 33 percent drop-out rate among first-year associates, up to two-thirds quit by third year
> Lawyers have one of the highest rates of alcoholism and depression among all professions, and this is especially prevalent in big private law firms
1L: I want to work in Big Law so I can buy a boat and drive a BMW 745i
3-year associate: I'll gladly trade you mine in exchange for the last three years of my 20s back

A somewhat rare soda from Waco, Texas which tastes like raspberries and bubble gum. It was released in November 2008 alongside Big Orange and is Big Red's most successful sister brand. Dispite this, you can rarely find the soda outside of Texas. It can be found as far west as Arizona, but usually only in Gas Stations accompanying Big Red.
Finally, a store with some Big Blue!

The part of a bank's or other lending institution's portfolio that is tied up in risky mortgages. Since many of these institutions are heavily into these loans, they become the 'big shitpile'.
The Big Shitpile Investment Banks are doing their damnedest to hide the full scale of their losses, by writing down only a little at a time.
