black buzz

Also: black man buzz. Noun: a musician's non-verbal vocalization during a performance, such as droning, that can be heard most often in jazz music recordings during quiet, instrumental solos, sometimes to the detriment of the performance.

"The 1963 recording at the Sands was flawless, were it not for the black buzz."

mullet mask

A respiratory mask that is incorrectly worn such that the user's nose is not covered, defeating its purpose. This is a play on the hairstyle term "mullet", as in: "It's may be all business below, but there's a coming-out party upstairs!"

Even outdoors, the infection quickly spread due to all of the mullet masks.
