Title bestowed on the latest cookie-cutter nü-something band by ignorant MTV obsessed neophytes who know nothing about music, while failing to realize that earlier, and greater, bands influenced the latest crop of down-tuned power-chording hair farmers, and even greater artists influenced them, and so on.
Bands that do not qualify for the title "greatest band ever":
Anything recorded after 1980
End of list. Sorry if you're butt-hurt, but it's true.

Get the bumper ballsmug. A large, long-barreled, high-power handgun, preferably a revolver.

Get the Doom Cockmug. A motorcycle that has been modified by removing unnecessary parts like turn signals and crash bars, cutting the fenders down (bobbing) or even removing them completely, installing a smaller fuel tank, etc.
Originally the modifications were done to increase the motorcycle's power-to-weight ratio for increased performance and racing.
Also called a cut-down, California special or Fat Bob if the stock gas tanks are kept on.
Bobbers were the precursor to choppers.

Get the bobbermug. A modified, customized motorcycle, typically a Harley Davidson, although "back in the day" Indian, Triumph and BSA motorcycles were "chopped" and these days Japanese motorcycles are being transformed into choppers.
The term "chopper" comes from the origins of motorcycle customization. Unnecessary parts were (sometimes literally) "chopped" off to reduce the weight of the motorcycle and increase its performance for racing. Rear fenders were "bobbed" (where the term "bobber" comes from), front fenders, crash bars, saddlebags, windshields, head and tail lights, kickstands, mufflers, etc. were all discarded to improve the machine's power-to-weight ratio. Forks were extended to improve ground clearance and later raked to compensate for better stability.
Contrary to popular belief, a chopper is not simply a motorcycle built with long forks, a stretched frame, chrome and billet crap and a gazillion-color $10K paintjob. True choppers are generally built from another motorcycle or motorcycles, by the owner of the motorcycle and modifications are done to the builder/owner's desires and usually done on a budget.
The big-bucks "chopper" shops do not build choppers. OCC does not build true choppers. They build custom motorcycles. A custom can emulate the classic chopper styles (bobber, East Bay lowrider, digger, fat bob, etc.) but it is not a true chopper. Same as a fibreglass-bodied 350/350-powered 5-window coupe that looks like a hot rod, it is not a true hot rod.
