The word Balearic in its most most simple terms means "of or having to do with the Balearic Islands" which are a group of small islands in the Western Mediterranean near the coast of Spain.
More specifically however, the term Balearic (or "Balearic Beat") has come to mean a genre of music which became popular on the islands of the same name, specifically the Balearic Island of Ibiza.
The Balearic genre is broad and almost means "eclectic" more than any specific style of sound. Generally, it tends towards sunny, melodic, "feel-good" electronic music, as it's birthplace was on the warm sunny beaches of the islands. This may encompass atmospheric house, downtempo, chillout, nu-disco, latin,soul, dub, and re-edits.
As mentioned before, the genre is about being eclectic, so a Balearic Beat DJ will often flow through many different sounds inside a single set. In fact, "Balearic" might be better thought of as a style of DJ'ing rather than a style of music. Still, the flavor always comes back to that sunny island feel and often incorporates smooth soul sounds, acoustic strings and guitar, dreamy vocals, and tempos under 120 BPM.

Get the spare tiremug. A Zukk is a censored removal of prohibited content (most commonly nudity) off of Facebook.
It's short for "Zuckerberg" referring to Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook. He is seen as the "big brother" figure if the website, the all benevolent guiding hand that protects us all from lewd and unsavory content.
Having your prohibited content removed from Facebook is known as "getting Zukked."
It can also mean getting a temporary or permanent ban from the website for violating terms of service.

Get the Watermelon Sugarmug. (n.) A greeder is a dog breeder. But specifically, it's a puppy mill dog breeder who only cares about profit, but the animals.
Which, of course, is no good - but it's mostly judgemental Furmoms who use the term, and they call EVERY breeder a "greeder" because they don't believe in ANY breeding. Their motto is "Adopt don't shop" and will shame anyone who wants a pure bred dog for supporting "Greeders"

Get the Greedermug. The act of being seen with the wrong person at the wrong time in a very public place - typically exposing an affair.
Comes from the moment at a Coldplay concert in July, 2025 where Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and CPO Kristin Cabot were caught cuddling on the Jumbotron "kiss cam" but immediately ducked and hid their faces, prompting Coldplay frontman Chris Martin to say, "either they're having an affair or are really shy."
They WERE having an affair, and both of their lives blew up.
