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.

Get the Balearic mug.(n.) A Chomper is someone who talks incessantly, typically in a crowd, annoying the people around him/her. It is especially an issue that comes up at concerts when the music act is on stage performing, and people would really just like to focus on listening to the music, but the Chomper goes on with their useless conversation, oblivious to their surroundings.
Hey, could somebody please tell that Chomper to shut the fuck up? I'm trying to listen to the music.

Get the Chomper mug.(n.) One brand of Social Justice Warrior, who has chosen dogs (or, "furbabies" as they call them) as the subject of their mission.
You will often find furmoms on social media and Nextdoor railing at other dog owners about how you "should" take care of dogs.
Their main motto is "Adopt don't Shop", implying that nobody should ever buy a dog from a breeder, but should rescue dogs from shelters instead. As such, they are fully against pure breeds, and typically refer to breeders as"greeders."
But their main pastime is spending time on Facebook, admonishing other dog owners about how they're doing it. Whether it's shaming owners for walking without a leash, buying a pure bred dog, using tools such as choke chains or bark collars, or any other behavior that in any way recognizes that dogs are animals, not people.
Furmoms are also fervent Pit Bull advocates and will freak out if you so much as imply that Pit Bulls (which they like to call "Pibbles") tend to be more aggressive and prone to biting than other breeds. Their main tool in this mission is to post photos of their very well-loved Pit Bull sleeping peacefully in their home and giving the photo some passive aggressive captions such as, "look at this terrifying killer."
Basically, Furmoms have nothing else going on in their life other than their dog and will always be there to give you their unsolicited opinions.
