Girl 1: wait is that Longa
Girl 2: OMG its really him
Longa by poopy he he March 8, 2020
An extremely long note, worth four whole notes or "semibreves."
You don't see the longa often anymore, but in the UK, notes only start being called long when it is at least four whole notes, or in our way, "semibreves" (half of a short)

ars longa, vita brevis 

latin aphorism literally translating to "art is long, life is short" but implying that art takes a long time and we only have a short time to make it.

but to non-latin speakers (everyone), it evokes "big ass, short life" which is a controversial claim.
X: "hey Z, you're hogging two seats!"
Y: "yeah man, that's gross. ars longa, vita brevis, bro. have fun dying young."
