Doorbell 

Organist slang for any pipe/electronic organ that is not a tracker action, and is therefore an inferior pile of wires, circuit boards, and magnets. It is used to describe such instruments made by Wurlitzer, Wicks, Reuter, Möller, Schantz, Austin, Aeolian-Skinner, Rodgers, Allen, etc.

Usually containing a stop list of all 8' pitches, they are also called "Mud-Pits"

Oh, he's going to play a recital on that stupid doorbell at First Presbyterian.

The church down the street has installed a rotten doorbell to replace their A. B. Felgemacker tracker organ. Isn't that sad?

Appliance 

Organist slang for an electronic church organ. They usually are poorly build representations of traditional pipe organs and use digital/analog technology which render them the laughingstock of the organist community. The sound they produce is usually fake and synthetic sounding, have such stop tabs as "full tremulant" and "reverb".

See "Toaster" or "Washing Machine"

I heard they have installed a God-awful appliance at St. Thomas Church to replace the old pipe organ... The organist hates it and plays the piano instead.

Stupid appliance, it has so many sticking notes, when you try to play it, it sounds like a swarm of angry bees.

Pop Shlop 

Just cotton candy music, and I mean really teeny-bopper shit! Cheesy, overproduced fluff. Usually associated with modern pop stars such as Ed Sheeran, Maroon 5, and Coldplay. You can’t stand to listen to it.

God, all they play on that radio station is pop shlop!
