The name Pibble is what Furmoms use to refer to the Pit Bull dog breed. They prefer not to use the name Pit Bull because they feel it has undeserved negative connotations, and they crusade against persecution of the breed.
Their hope is that the word "Pibble" paints a gentler, kinder picture of the Pit Bull breed, even though hard evidence shows that the breed is responsible for 70% of dog attacks and maulings.

The word Balearic in its most most simple terms means "of or having to do with the Balearic Islands" which are a group of small islands in the Western Mediterranean near the coast of Spain.
More specifically however, the term Balearic (or "Balearic Beat") has come to mean a genre of music which became popular on the islands of the same name, specifically the Balearic Island of Ibiza.
The Balearic genre is broad and almost means "eclectic" more than any specific style of sound. Generally, it tends towards sunny, melodic, "feel-good" electronic music, as it's birthplace was on the warm sunny beaches of the islands. This may encompass atmospheric house, downtempo, chillout, nu-disco, latin,soul, dub, and re-edits.
As mentioned before, the genre is about being eclectic, so a Balearic Beat DJ will often flow through many different sounds inside a single set. In fact, "Balearic" might be better thought of as a style of DJ'ing rather than a style of music. Still, the flavor always comes back to that sunny island feel and often incorporates smooth soul sounds, acoustic strings and guitar, dreamy vocals, and tempos under 120 BPM.

Mushary - also known as bush-riding - is the act of intentionally jumping into a bush or shrubbery - preferably head-first, and typically whilst wearing a boiler suit.
This is done for the purpose of eliciting laughs or causing a scene and is widely documented and distributed on YouTube.
The word itself is a portmanteau of "Bush", "Shrubbery" and "Manchuria" - the site of a war in which soldiers were known to jump with abandon into trenches so as to escape gunfire.
Mushary is of course a much more frivolous past time.
A particularly successful act of Mushary will result in the sight of a rigid body sticking halfway out of a thick hedge, feet pointing towards the sky. The absurdity is the point.
Some enthusiasts might claim that it is a form of anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian protest, but there is no such formal organization.
