Dada

The band that defined Alternative Rock as we know it. Hit song "Dizz-Knee-Land" kicked off the alternative rock radio movement.

Unfortunately few other bands with an independent spirit have had nearly the same production values, so this breed of alternative rock fizzled with the band.

Spin "Puzzle" by Dada if you want to know what alternative rock is/was. These current indy guys don't know their way around a guitar, or how to develop a lick, or even how to play at more than a single dynamic level.

hoover cooler

Derivative of "Hoovertown" and "Hoover Blanket". It is a makeshift cooler made of a cardboard box lined with newspaper.

Unlike the other "Hoover" words, this isn't a sign of poverty as much as convenience (when you don't want to take an empty cooler home).

What's in the box, Paul?
Lunch: it's a hoover cooler.

zords

Childhood game of fashioning the largest clunkiest legos into crude spacecraft. To play the game, two children slam their "zords" into each other and whoever's breaks first loses.

Lets play Zords!
<15 minutes later, crude spacecraft are constructed from huge lego bricks>
SMASH!
Ow my fingers!!!

Urban hall of shame

Proposed website with UD like format consisting only of rejected UD entries. Cooperation with UD will be required to verify that all submissions were rejected from UD. The best of these will be published in the Hall of Shame

I can't believe _____ got rejected from UD! to the urban hall of shame.

Wow there's some good stuff in the urban hall of shame. UD should maybe address the complete lack of selectivity and training of editors.
