defunked 

Of a dancehall, not as popular as it used to be, because of one or a combination of reasons: a) Poorly-maintained ambiance: missing lights, pictures, floor showing its age, etc.; b) Poor crowd control; c} Safety standards not up-to-par, d) Choice of gigs limited by budget cuts; e) Poor choice of food and drinks; poorly-prepared food and drinks; f) Too many people, not enough dance space. The pun on the word "defunct" is intentional.
That nightclub across the street is defunked. It's not drawing the crowds like it did just five years ago.

quartertone 

Person who is sitting in a public place, usually unaware that s/he is taking up two desired spaces, and later dozes off, legs spreadeagled and head lolling from one side to the other, further preventing access to those spaces. "Quartertone" comes from a musical term for tones that fall "between the cracks" on a piano keyboard, common in Asia but infrequent in music on our side of the globe.
I couldn't get a seat on the bus because some quartertone was sitting between the divider on the bench and nodding off!

blue-light 

One of the "Select" Bx12 buses that run from the corner of Edson Ave. and Bartow Ave. in the Bronx in New York, to the corner of 207th St. and Broadway in Manhattan, New York. The buses are run on an experimental basis to relieve overcrowding on this much-used run: one must insert a Metrocard into a special machine at key stops along the bus route in order to get a paper receipt, then board the bus from the REAR. After several minutes the bus driver will collect the paper receipts. Named for the blue lights that flash at the top, showing that the buses are the "Select" route.
I love to see that blue-light come along---it's a colorful addition to the road!
