A combination of the words monotone and drone on, monodrone describes a way of telling a story that threatens to put the listener to sleep or encourages her to attempt strangulation of the speaker. A story told in monodrone has no narrative arc, no punchline, no interesting tidbit details, and seemingly no end - it is simply incessant noise. Monodrone can also be used to describe the speaking style of some lecturers - no amount of caffeine is sufficient to keep the student alert and attentive.
His story had no narrative arc, no punchline, no interesting tidbit details, and seemingly no end - completely monodrone. He went on and on... and on, and still nothing happened. He didn't make me laugh, didn't make me think. His incessant noise was just interminable and I started fantasizing about jumping across the table to strangle him. But I feel bad, because he is actually a really nice person.

Bibrow refers to the intellectual orientation of someone who appreciates both highbrow and lowbrow entertainment. A bibrow person 'swings both ways' when it comes to enjoying food, movies, books, music, television, and other pop culture and does not solely define him/herself as singularly highbrow or lowbrow in taste.
Typical bibrow people are indie filmmakers who win prestigious grants, make important, critically acclaimed films and social change documentaries, but also post fb updates about The Bachelor. A bibrow person might be recording Jersey Shore on dvr while out at the Opera or a Museum. A bibrow person will wax as poetic about a coke slurpee at 7-11 or McDonalds milkshake as a dinner at La Bernardin.
