Get the Grim Reaper's June mug.The disparaging nickname of Florida native and pop rap artist Flo Rida.
The nickname Flo Ripoff stems from Flo-Rida's ridiculous usage of samples of other songs in his own productions. Basically, Flo-Rida is known to rip off other artists and steal their choruses and hooks.
The most atrocious examples of Flo Ripoff are "Right Round" and "Sugar". "Right Round" samples the chorus from the Dead or Alive 1984 hit "You Spin Me Round" and "Sugar" the song's chorus is a blatant ripoff of Eiffel 65's "Blue (Da Ba Dee)".

Get the Flo Ripoff mug.A sub-genre of electronica music typically defined by its lackluster quality, pop music structure, and annoying and overbearing vocals. Vocalists are usually talentless tone deaf women that are limited to one octave range... guttural shouting.
Vocalists are usually decked out in outrageous fashion forward costumes, makeup, or create sexy eccentric (sexcentric???) personalities to detract from the obvious... Their music is only worth a cheap hip jiggle by some inebriated floozie on the dancefloor.
Over compressed preschool-level drum beats and bland uninspiring synth leads typically carry the song along. Often receives immense airplay from brainless Top 40 radio stations. Example of skanktronica include: Ke$ha, Cascada, Lady Gaga, and the Paradiso Girls.

Get the skanktronica mug.A recent National Football League penalty call. Roughing the Brady occurs when a defensive player makes a now illegal defensive play on league poster boy, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
Roughing the Brady entered the league rulebooks after the 2008 NFL season in which Brady suffered a horrific knee injury against the Kansas City Chiefs. Subsequently, Brady was placed on injured reserve and was out for the season.
Concluding the 2008 season, NFL executives strictly sought to prevent teams from making defensive plays exclusively against New England Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady. In short, the proverbial yellow flag is thrown whenever Tom Brady is under extreme duress and is tackled. Afterward, the previous play is stricken and the opposing team is penalized. The particular rationale of this new officiating policy is somewhat unclear... but it is assumed the Patriots owner Robert Kraft and head coach Bill Belichick had a part in the creation of this new penalty call.
At the start of the 2009 NFL season, the league officiating crew put the "Roughing the Brady" call to extensive use. Notably, Week 4 of the 2009 season, with the Baltimore Ravens at New England, the officiating crew stymied several defensive plays made by the archetypal Baltimore defense with the "Roughing the Brady penalty.

Jeff the Titans Fan: What the heck! why is our safety Chris Hope getting fined $10,000.00 for a clean tackle against Tom Brady?
Steve the Titans Fan: Man that game was straight up embarrassing. A complete whitewash! Hell, the refs were calling roughing the Brady all day. Nowadays you ain't allowed to tackle, sack, or force a fumble on Brady. And I thought only the Steelers bribed refs.
Jeff the Titans Fan: That's some bullspit!
