text: i'm looking for the different meaning of the term "brand new"? i know that it means noticeably new and unused. but is there another meaning? can i go to an encylicapedia actually, those are synonyms. not different meanings. all those words have the same meaning. that would be from thesaurus.  the only other use i know of is in branding cattle. if a cow just got branded it would make that 'brand new'  also there's a band from new york called brand new
