I Saw U2 Live Twice's definitions
1. a stone
2. a piece of crack cocaine that is smoked
3. AKA "rock'n'roll". It's the ultimate form of musical expression. It's roots are in American, British and Irish folk, country and western (the classic stuff - NOT that poofy crap of today), jazz, blues, bluegrass and other sources. Pioneered by Ike Turner, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, King Elvis, Bill Haley + the Comets, the Beach Boys and many more. Expanded, further defined and influenced even more by British bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones and the Kinks and German bands like Kraftwerk. Now rock music is listened to any performed by people in every nation. It's an American cultural phenominae that has shaped the world.
4. to be cool. To rule, to be bad.
5. In the U.S. Navy this word is jargon for flunking an academic test.

1. Billy threw a rock at a glass house. Next came the sound of glass shattering.
2. When the cops came in the apartment to make their dope bust Mikey put his crack pipe (with a rock in it) in the toilet bowl bottom hole. The police found it anyway and arrested Mikey.
3. Just gimme some of that rock'n'roll music. Any old way ya choose it.
4. The Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame is located in Cleveland, Ohio supposedly because the music got its name from a Cleveland slang term for sex.
5. Rise up! Gather round! Rock this place to the ground.
6. at a Rush concert someone behind me yelled, "GEDDY LEE, YEWWWW RAWHKK!". Because of the distance to the stage and the volume Geddy Lee and his Rush-mates Neil and Alex couldn't hear that, but they've been rocking for many years - they know.
7. Seaman Vincent: how did you do on the first Propulsion Engineering Basics test?
Seaman James: I aced it.

Get the rockmug. 1. On Independence Day 1996 a relative of mine came over and we went to the cinema to see the movie "Independence Day" (it opened on that day, of course) and it had cliches and stereotypes galore. For starters, the Vietnam vet character was a bum and big time substance abuser who could only "redeem" himself to society by giving his life in a suicidal mission against the alien invaders. Also the flick had every possible scene, landscape, plot device and catchphrase ripped off from every sci-fi thriller in the book. One actor even reprised a term he used in the excellent "Jurassic Park" blockbuster from a few years before. Of course, there were predictable jingoistic elements and the lack of originality deep-sixed that film all the way from the start. Man did it ever ess you cee kay.
2. From a concert review page in an alternative weekly newspaper in an Ohio city:
... early in the evening I got to see and review the white female funkateers Luscious Jackson at the Palladium. The ladies luscious showed some good skillful funk playing, 'cuz they can really git down. After that entertaining gig I had to go to Wolfgang's to catch the Detroit punk/metal/rap/whatever/wtf band Loud Mouth and man alive did they ever ess you cee kay. Ya dig it?

Get the ess you cee kaymug. a catchphrase in the 80s stated by Steve Jones that says it all. He nearly died from drug abuse and he's seen others die from it too. He ain't saying it because "someone told him to". Experience is the best teacher.
In the 80s there were ads on TV featuring rock stars doing anti-drug announcements. It was called Rock Against Drugs (RAD).
Genesis stated that "drugs are a no win situation so please don't it" while their hit "Throwing It All Away" plays in the background.
Another example: Jon Bon Jovi says, "I was given this script to read to you. Drugs are not a part of this workplace. Drugs are bad 4 U ... blah blah blah. Any questions?" Yeah Jon: how much moolah did you get to "read this script to us?"
Steve Jones is tightening a hex nut on his motorcycle. Then he gets up and says, "Hi. I'm Steve Jones. I used to play guitar in a band called the Sex Pistols. A good friend of mine in that band - Sid Vicious- died from drugs. I nearly died from drugs." Then he looks directly at the video camera and says "Drugs suck". He had a song on his 1986 album "Mercy" by that name. Later on New Kids on the Block members wore that slogan on T-shirts because it so "cool" and fashionable and "hip". Soon after that there were shirts that said "New Kids Suck". That they do!
Take it from people who've been there and survived it. There's a lot of things that suck today, including drugs.

Get the drugs suckmug. we all know what Montezuma's revenge is. Here in the Ohio Valley, Midewst and Great Lakes states the term "Tecumseh's revenge" is more applicable since the great Shawnee chief Tecumseh is an important historical figure around here.
1. At an outdoor amphitheater hosting a Rush concert I drank a cola to beat the humidity. The drink had funny tasting industrial waste - infected ice cubes. The next day I got a bad case of Tecumseh's revenge. I'm glad it didn't happen during the excellent show.

Get the Tecumseh's revengemug. a spectacular comet that came close to the Earth in early 1996. It was a total surprise for the public so the end-of-the-millenium doomsayers and New Age crackpots couldn't bombard us with their superstitious bullshit. It was visible to the unaided eye and was "something to talk about" in the office and computer lab. It sported an unusually long tail. A thrill. Mere months after the comet's appearance, Comet Hale-Bopp graced our skies.
Comet Hyakutake was discovered by the Japanese astronomer Yuji Hyakutake. The brilliance of the comet made Yuji a celebrity, particularly in Japan.

Get the Comet Hyakutakemug. the most overrated blockbuster movie of all time. Starring Leonard DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, it's about two lovers on the ill-fated maiden voyage of the British ocean liner of the same name. It's just a mushy-gushy romance and disaster flick that drags on for 4 fucking hours or so, without any of the constant excitement of Dancing With Wolves, which also lasts 4 hours. Oh sure, you can look at Kate Winslet, but the movie is boring to the max.
The Titantic soundtrack is a total hunk of trash. It's got Celine Dion on it - doesn't that tell you enough?
by I Saw U2 Live Twice December 14, 2008
Get the Titanticmug. 1. when a person has the music on his/her player and the volume is at the maximum and that person is "singing" along to it LOUDLY and sounds absolutely horrible.
2. when a vocal group sings a capella and totlly sounds like shit.

1. my roomate Billy was outside our apartment on the steps during the evening. He was listening to a Heart album at max volume. As if that weren't enough he SANG along loudly to the loud music and it was so gawdawful bad the dogs down the block were all howling. I was inside watching cable TV and I had to turn it up. I still could hear his a crapella keening. YAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
2. Billy was listening to Tschovsky's "1812 Overture" in the next room at - you guessed it - max volume. No lyrics here ment no a crapella this time around. Alright!
3. A relative of mine wanted to see Billy Graham at the stadium and asked me to go with him. I said OK. We went on a Wednesday night. I wished we could've gone the next evening but he didn't have the time off. So instead of seeing Johnny and June Carter Cash as the musical guests we had stomach this wimpymilquetoast a crapella group called 4HIM. Too pedestrian, too "adult contemporary", too "clean", just plain nauseating. Yeeeccchhh.
4. Huey Lewis and the News sometimes do do-wop and all 3 times I've seen them live they've done an a capella number or two. Take 6 is a good harmony group also. No a crapella here.
