GAS is the acronym for Guitar Acquisition Syndrome, the undeniable inability to stop buying nice guitars. Passing GAS is the inevitable result of acquiring too many guitars, selling one off (passing it off to the next GAS sufferer), and severely regretting the sale. It is an unsettling yet temporary condition. Time is the only cure. Or buying another guitar.

An inchronicable event is anything that is strangely out of time phase with the perceived reality of the moment. A photo of George Washington eating from a bucket of Popeye's. An image of Beethoven writing his music on an I-Pad. Reading the Sunday paper on Saturday. Things possible, just not right.
When I received a text this morning from one "Abe LIncoln", I was struck with how inchronicable it felt. How did he charge his phone with no electricity?

The practice of deception, bolstering, exaggerating, bait and switching, etc., using modern technology, all done to sell a product is know as deepmarketing. Promoting a scam; fake products or pricing. Also, deepmarket, deepmarketed, etc.
I was looking for a new amp for my guitar, when I came across a website that had just what I was looking for, at a price that was WAY lower than I had ever seen. It showed photos from the manufacturer and everything. I am sure it was just deepmarketing, total scam.

"Diverse it up" is a loose and friendly term meaning to try different things for the sake of change, or even inclusion. Try green salsa! Polka dots, not stripes. Hire the other kid, not your nephew. Vote for someone who does not look like you.
In a surreptitiously recorded conversation in the Abbey Road studio, producer George Martin told the boys they needed to diverse it up, and add some horns to the song, "All You Need Is Love".

A frackquake is a small earthquake created by fracking, the heinous practice of injecting liquid at high pressure to extract oil or gas. Frackquakes are usually small and oftentimes not even felt.
Woken up early in the morning, the man said to his wife,
"Did you feel that?"
"Probably just another frackquake. Go back to sleep," she responded.
"Did you feel that?"
"Probably just another frackquake. Go back to sleep," she responded.

A fauxpiphany is a sudden and surprising realization into the meaning of something, only to realize moments later that, alas, you were all wrong. Term coined by the great Lauren Brenner.
"Like a flash, it came to me why Pedro is always acting in that loud and unpredictable way...he is a genius savant!
But it was a fauxpiphany. Pedro is just an asshole."
