ducky's definitions

the guardian

A left-wing British newspaper usually picked on by right wing idiots for retaining journalistic integrity and not scaremongering with every headline.

"Hey did you read the Guardian today, and notice how it doesn't twist everything to be somehow the fault of Tony Blair, Muslims or immigrants, and that nowhere was the term 'PC gone mad!' used?

"Yeah, it rocks."

jojos

Deep fried potato wedges. Sort of like French fries, but a bit fatter. The term is used in the Pacific Northwest.

At KFC, I ordered two extra-crispy chicken strips and some jojos.

oboe

Beautiful when played by a good player; duck-like when played by a not-so-good player. A usually wooden woodwind instrument, part of the double reed family (which includes the bassoon, english horn, etc). Played in treble clef; pitched in C. Insanely hard to play in tune.

That beginner oboe player sounds like she's killing a duck...

english horn

Member of the woodwind family. A double reed instrument. Is NOT a "big oboe". Pitched a fifth below the oboe, in F. In orchestral works, is usually used to convey "sad" emotions. Has a deeper, more mellow sound due to the rounded bell. Is not English, despite the name. It's actually French. This is from a mis-translation of its other name, "cor anglais", which means "angled horn" but can also mean "English horn".

That English horn solo made me cry.

piccolo

A musical instrument of the woodwind family. Pitched an octave about the flute. Usually made out of silver, wood, plastic, or a combination. People believe the piccolo can kill with its high pitch, but really, that's part of the piccolo's plan... world domination! Or not.

The piccolo will rule all.
