capitolist

One who believes one should make as much money as inhumanly possible by any means necessary. Commonly followed by "pig".

Capitolists are not sympathetic to the poor because they believe that because THEY became rich, anyone can. They believe that poor people are just lazy.

That capitolist pig!

improvisation

To make something up on the spot.

Improvisation is common in jazz music, when a musician makes up a solo spontaneously, as opposed to playing a written solo.

Sometimes a group of musicians will completely improvise an entire song. This is done almost exclusively by jazz musicians.

All forms of art can be improvised. Art that is improvised may be called "free" or "freestyle", like "free poetry".

A popular form of improvisation is rapping, or flowing.

Miles Davis was a master of improvisation.

saturday night live

A show that is commonly called "not funny anymore" by people who haven't seen a new episode in six years.

Saturday Night Live is just as funny now as it has ever been, just because you don't recognize the actors doesn't mean its not as good. If you actually WATCHED the new ones you'd know that.
