Get the creep creepmug. A contraction of "sun shade idiot", any person who puts their car sunshade in the front window even if the car is facing to the north (in the Northern Hemisphere- no evidence exists yet that this occurs in the Southern Hemisphere too).
Quite possibly they do it on purpose thinking that, even though it is daytime, the North Star is out there and it is bigger than the Sun. This excuse would not work in the Southern Hemisphere since they cannot see the North Star.

Get the chartjunkmug. The tendency of contemporary singers to drag out the last word and/or note in a line by singing vowels, mostly a's and e's, over and over. The effect is enhanced by also going up and down the musical scale in an almost random, even chaotic, fashion. This can also be highlighted with the singer's hand whipping up and down following the notes sung.
