rock

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.

Seaman Vincent: Did you hear how Seaman Steve did? He ROCKED it!

8. that manufactured Britney/Xtina/NSYNC/teen pop garbage is NOT rock, it's a CROCK.

Deadles

a nickname used in a Rolling Stone online review for the deceased Beatles John and George. I think it may have been a review of George's new greatest hits collection. Don't quote me on this.
Some rock journalist's newly-coined word "Deadles" is derived from the words "Dead Beatles".

John Lennon became the first Deadle on December 8, 1980. On the same token George Harrison joined the Deadles on November 27, 2001. Those 2 days were tragic for rock but fabness is forever.

treason-ish

the unpunished act of doing anything to attain a position of power, even if it includes collaborating with a foreign or outside power or even traitors from the "inside" to do it. People who do these acts often act very arrogant and dictatorial but they usually kowtow and kiss the asses of the people who helped them get them where they are. They only think of themselves and the public they are supposed to serve is totally ignored, deceived and treated like trash.
1. In the late 1930s Chancellor Alfred Dollfuss of Austria established a Nazi dictatorship there. Because of this and other traitors within, Austria and Germany entered into Anschluss ("union") in 1938 and Austria lost its name, independence, and economic and social identity and more. That's a treason-ish against the Austrian people - a rottenness in the apple.

2. Donald Trump childishly whined that he would NOT accept an election defeat in 2016. His business and other connections to the bully regime of Russia's Vladimir Putin are very well known and quite obvious. Russia hacked some of America's computer networks during the summer and early autumn but the cyber attack that struck the USA on Election Night was the worst ever done on cyber networks in perhaps all history. The next morning many homepages were desecrated with big pictures of Trump the Chump's ugly stupid smug mug, the Russian government expressed their delight and on January 21, 2017 this treason-ish, treasonous asshole took an oath that he'll never honor and then defiled a cathedral with his immoral bitch-ass to pose . FUCK 'EM!

Lola

basically, a transvestite. From the song "Lola" by the Kinks. That song is now a favorite sing-a-long for blitzed college students in campus-area bars. Just like "Mommy Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys", "Anarchy in the U.K.", "Yellow Submarine", "Brown Sugar", and "American Pie" (tho God knows why).
Me: I was in San Francisco last weekend and on a corner I saw a white yup kissing on a black chick, only to discover that she was a black man with a beard, pantyhose and a purse!

Michael and Phil (singing): Du du-du du-du du-du-du du do-du-du du du du du-du... (chorus of "Take a Walk on the Wild Side").
L-O-L-A Lola....

a crapella

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.

Tecumseh's revenge

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.

Comet Hyakutake

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.
