Dr Pinch's definitions

bassist

Short for "Bass Guitarist."

I must take issue with the idea that Punk Bassists are no good, because I can name at least three who excelled: Jah Wobble, Peter Hook, Norman Watts-Roy. QED

However - Kids, note: playing the root note of the chord eight times in a bar does NOT constitute a bass-line!
The first great bassist in rock music was John Entwistle (RIP).
The greatest exponent of the fretless bass was Jaco Pastorius (also RIP).
The greatest living bassist is Flea (not RIP yet ;-) ).

foreplay

The excuse par excellence if you are caught in the act of adultery.
Husband: YOU! What are you doing with my wife???
Adulterer: Well, seeing as I knew you were going to bone her later, I thought I would save you some trouble by doing the foreplay for you.
Husband: Oh, that's very considerate of you, old chap, you are such a true friend, etc etc

Taboo

1. (Original meaning) "Sacred" - something too sacred in fact for it to be allowed to be profaned by the common people.

2. The exact opposite of Sacred - something that is too profane for the common herd!
1. Village Elder: don't desecrate the shrine, it's taboo.

kashmir

1. A territory between India and Pakistan, the subject of international dispute between the two countries.

2. One of Led Zeppelin's better songs. In fact, Robert Plant was nowhere near Kashmir when he wrote the lyrics to this. He was actually a continent away in Africa - driving through the desert in Morocco!
Oh Father of the four winds fill my sails...

cybermen

Nasty villains from Doctor Who. As hard as the Daleks but they can climb stairs, without having to resort to johnnycomelately plot devices such as levitation!

Source from which the Borg were shamelessly ripped in Star Trek.
