Alice was quite combobulated, paying close attention in her classes and getting all A’s. Rick, meanwhile, often found himself discombobulated by his instructor’s lengthy lectures. Meanwhile, Steve followed along fine for the most part, but sometimes needed to ask for help. He was perfectly bobulated.

A fusión genre, especially popular in the 1960s, which combines elements of pop and classical music. The style emerged as artists were interested in recapturing the grandeur of the baroque era.
Common characteristics of baroque pop:
1. Heavy use of strings, woodwinds, brass, and other orchestral accompaniment
2. Intricate, layered harmonies
3. Prominence of the harpsichord, a baroque era favorite
4. Lyrics that were often fantasy-like, romantic, and, sometimes intentionally, vague.
Baroque pop is related to sunshine pop and psychedelic pop, all three sharing several characteristics, such as their use of complex harmonies.

By analogy with Ken of “Barbie and Ken” fame.
1. (Slang, potentially derogatory) The Prom King. The most popular guy in high school. The other half of the perfect couple (with the Prom Queen)
2. (Derogatory) A teenage boy who only dates stereotypical popular girls (“Barbies”)
2b. May also apply to a boy who constantly hits on these girls despite them being “out of his league”.
3. (Derogatory) A man who engages in the same behavior as sense 2 with stereotypically beautiful / ditzy women
3b. The same as sense 2b applied to a man
4. (Derogatory, offensive) An effeminate man

Those were the days when I had it all...star quarterback, dating the captain of the cheer squad, unanimously voted Prom King, all the geeks bowed down to me...yep, I was the Ken without a doubt.

The Streaming Generation has come of age in the era of music and movie streaming on apps such as Spotify and Pandora. This generation will have little to no memory of a time when CDs and DVDs were relevant media in their respective field. The time period covered by this generation is approximately 20005 to the present day, giving them a significant overlap with generation Z. Members of this generation are likely to prioritize efficiency in the way they consume music and video, however there have also been some backlash to this, which have led many of them to re-embrace older forms of these, particularly vinyl records.

The Streaming Generation have come to expect maximal efficiency in their music listening and film viewing experiences, at the expense of the personal quality of physical ownership, yet some are discovering ways to balance the old with the new, as evidenced by the resurgence of vinyl records in spite of the ubiquity of streaming services.

(political humor, rare) An inevitable outcome, something that cannot be avoided no matter what one tries.
A reference to the Electoral College tally in the previous two US presidential elections, where, if you discount faithless electors, the result both times was 306-232.

Old English dual pronoun meaning “the two of you”, pronounced “yit”. Not to be confused with the modern word “git”. This word is a much more useful and concise way of referring to a pair of people than anything in Modern English, but sadly fell out of fashion by the late Middle English period.
