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'.

Get the drop a Mickmug. Going #2 anywhere, anytime, without hesitation or awarness of other people in the bathroom. Occasionally referred to as making a sewer deposit.
Scott just dropped a Yeaglin during the bathroom break and didn't offer a courtesy flush. You might want to give it a few before you go in there.
