slug-lame

Devoid of the necessary emotional or artistic mobility to make the slightest impact despite all efforts, if any.

Those songs sucked the first time around, you expect people to pay a cover to listen to the same slug-lame arrangement of all of them, back-to-back, for three hours?

hinterloper

That's why Phil doesn't get the gigs; nobody likes a hinterloper.

Fikse

Fikse (etym. "FIscal + shiKSE). A small town administrator, or minion thereof, who always votes with the tourist money at the expense of basic permanent resident accommodation.

I'm not retiring up there; you have to be in bed with a Fikse just to get clean water.

Illusions of Pretense

The return volley of "Delusions of Adequacy", referring to elitist assumptions that any viable corpus of art, logic, or science generated from outside their circle is therefore inherently meritless.

Any brain trust that harbors such Illusions of Pretense about Tinker is doing him a favor not signing him.

Scatagitant General

The Supreme Commander of workplace "shit-stirring" operations designed to dislodge large deposits thereof.

"Yeah, it's getting kinda thick, and the boss is in on it... whaddya think, Marv, you've always been our Scatagitant General!"
