dropped d

An alternate guitar tuning in which the lowest string is tuned down one whole step. Common in most forms of heavy metal. Makes it easier to play a power chord; the guitarist can simply lay one finger across the lowest three strings. Looked down upon for its facility, but powerful in the hands of a skilled guitarist (examples: Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine).

Often misspelled 'drop D' due to the assimilation of the d at the end of 'dropped' and the D at the beginning of 'D'.

-I'm trying to play along with this Soundgarden song but my guitar doesn't go low enough. WTF?
-You need to tune to dropped D.

dropping jellyfish

a dude masturbating in the shower; the semen fallen to the water soaked floor look like little jellyfish swimmin' around.

"I was dropping jellyfish so much last night my bathroom is its own underwater ecosystem."

most obvious when water level is at least an inch, and your face happens to be down close enough to the floor.. also exemplified by liquid soap squirted into a basin of water.
