An instrumental version of a reggae song often dubbed onto the B-side of a single. Sometimes DJs would rap or "toast" over top of these versions. Through the studio manipulation and experimentation of such figures as King Tubby, Augustus Pablo and Lee "Scratch" Perry this practice grew into the reggae subgenre known as dub.
"King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown," producer Augustus Pablo's version of Jacob Miller's "Baby I Love You So," is far superior to the original.

When you're at a party or elsewhere, some people will try to talk all deep except that most of their knowledge is derived from Dan Brown novels. Easily spotted by frequent illusions to the Illuminati and the Holy Grail. The really clever ones will mix in bullshit they read on the Internet.
PERSON 1: I think Camus' "The Stranger" is one of the best illustrations of one's struggle with the absurd.
PERSON 2: Uh, yeah, and the Catholic church is trying to cover up Jesus' bloodline!
PERSON 1: Nice Dan Brown philosophy you've got there.

This term is incorrectly said to refer to a person who leads their life without regard to conventional standards of behaviour because that is how Gypsies lived and it was believed that Gypsies originally hailed from Bohemia, part of what is modern-day Czech Republic. Gypsies actually emigrated from northern Indian so it should also be noted that the term "Gypsy" which is derived from "Egyptian" is also incorrect although it is more widely accepted. The most etymologically correct term would be "Romani" or "Romany" which is the Gypsies original word for themselves.
Person 1: "Look at that hippie, he's such a Bohemian."
Person 2: "He doesn't look like a Czech to me."
Person 2: "He doesn't look like a Czech to me."
