Get the Grim Reaper's Junemug. A petroleum derived liquid mixture. Primarily used as fuel for the numerous explosions typically seen in films directed by Michael Bay.
Baysoline is a colorless volatile liquid among a series of movie-made aromatic hydrocarbons. Dangerously unstable and highly toxic, the combustion of baysoline is a extremely exothermic reaction. Perfect for Michael Bay directed movies, small amounts of baysoline produce large volumes of hot gas.

Head Pyrotechnician: Careful unloading those barrels Drew! There's enough Baysoline on that truck to turn this set into a 90 minute display of epic Decepticon pwnage!
Drew: Jesus Christ! Why does Michael need all this fuel?
Head Pyrotechnician: Well when you're movies hardly have any relevant dialog or plausible storyline... Shoot you're gonna have to fill three-quarters of the film with perfectly shot explosion scenes.
Drew: Are we that Baysoline-dependent?
Head Pyrotechnician: I guess when Shia LeBeouf and Ben Affleck are you're lead actors... Then yes.
Michael Bay: QUIET ON SET! Camera?... Sound?
Clapperboard Operator: Jailbait Boobsplosion: Revenge of The Augmented, scene 24, take 3!
Michael Bay: aaaaaaaand ACTION!

Get the baysolinemug. 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.

Jill McClubslut: Oh it's the Paradiso Girls. They fucking rock! DJ Dweeby McMainstream was spinning this along with Ke$ha's "Tik Tok" down at SCENE 61 last night. This stuff is my going out anthem!
Leslie: Ohh... well it's a bunch of skanktronica if you ask me. Pure cheese. May I suggest Imogen Heap?
Jill McClubslut: What! She totally sampled that Jason DeRulo song!
Leslie: *facepalm*

Get the skanktronicamug. 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!
