Male voice part higher than the bass and lower than the tenor. For many years thought to derive from "Baron of Tone", that being a good and nobel thing. Later historical investigation concludes that the true derivation is from "Barren of Tone" circa 1937 Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America (That's right, SPEBQSA) notes that those compelled to sing the "Baritone Line" are strangely attracted to do so by the absence of melodic interest and frequent awkward intervals.
1937 Audience member 1 - Did you hear that guy on the end standing next to the bass?
Audience member 2 - Oh yeah, what was that guy trying to do?
Audience member 1 - Maybe he's the baritone?
Audience member 2 - Don't know, but he was certainly barren of tone!

Medium-sized brass instrument, mainly recognizable by the fact that it is NOT an euphonium. The baritone is its smaller brother - and naming it as such is astonishingly silly, as the baritone sounds like a digimon on acid if played to high. Some brittish people are known to make them sound decent, though. May or may not have four valves.
Indecent man: "Say, good sir, is that a baritone i spot under your arm?
You: "NO IT'S NOT IT'S A BLOODY EUPHONIUM F**K U"
or
The baritone was mounted on top of a pyramid of several baritones when, suddenly, an euphonium entered from above, for it would smite them to the ground and grow lillies from their valves.

the silly, loud, perverted, and just plain creepy section of a marching band; it's basically an oversized bass clef trumpet. P.S. it's not the same thing as a mellophone
Those guys are such baritones.

It's a rather sensuous voice range... although the tenor range is quite sexy for moi... what does it matter?
Tenor, baritone, or bass, the male voice turns me on!
