Ombudsman

Noun, slang. Used as a derogatory term toward Canadian bass players/backup vocalists with a goatee and/or a mohawk who happen to go by the name Mike Ayley. Although its origin is unknown, the word was likely first used on October 16, 2011 in a series of humorous tweets by Marianas Trench guitarist Matt Webb, who probably should have been working on recording the new album at the time.

Matt: “Mike is what I like to call an ombudsman.”

Matt: “Oh look, it’s a fucking ombudsman!”

Matt: “I think I lost 2 followers for excessively tweeting about ombudsmans last night. Oh well, they were probably ombudsmans."
