One of the very few unique bands, both lyrically and musically. They are nu-metal, although different from most other nu-metal, mainly in the sense that they're good. I know people who listen to death metal and they agree that System of a Down is a good band. Anyone who calls them "pop" obviously hasn't heard any of their songs, or just wants to be "cool" by putting something controversial in an online dictionary. Although System of a Down has entered the mainstream after the release of Toxicity, it has still maintained a good, unique sound, although gaining many unwanted poser fans.
System of a Down has deep, meaningful lyrics, good vocals, and a unique sound, unlike most other nu-metal. Good thing I can understand the lyrics, unlike many posers who pretend to like them since they saw part of "Aerials" on MTV.

A statement used as an indication that another's action or statement immediately preceeding it sharply goes against the social norms of the group. The act must be of such an extreme nature as to cause hysterical disbelief or revulsion among members of the group. Obviously this is much stronger than calling a yellow card on someone.
"Yeah, she was so hot, I was ready to jump all over that."
"Dude, that's my sister, and she's only 15- Red Card!"
"Dude, that's my sister, and she's only 15- Red Card!"

A woman so utterly repulsive that five minutes to closing time, wearing your strongest beer-goggles, is the only time you would be forced to approach her.

Or an "808" refer to the Roland TR-808 Rythem Machine that was popular in the 80s and 90s.
The 808 became popular because they could be opened up and "de-tuned" with a few knobs to produce diffrent sounds and outputs that would other wise not be possible from the 808. Commonly used to produce very low leaky sounding bass.
artists who use or refrence the 808 include: The Bestie Boys, Sir Mix Alot, Cypress Hill, Tom Jones, Afriak Bambaataa
