drop trow

A trowel is a simple hand tool used to layer or “slot in” mortar between stones or bricks by a mason. While the spelling has changed, “drop trow” is long forgotten slang from the masonry trade meaning to immediately “drop the trowel”, stop working, and/or walk away from the job. The term was often used in reference to unionization and labor strikes in the 1880’s through the 1950’s in the United States.

I'm droppin' trow'-- I quit.

Drop D

A guitar tuning in which you tune the low e string to d. Often used as a crutch, but many bands use it well (see Led Zeppelin's "10 Years Gone"). But seriously, you could step on a guitar tuned to drop D and it would sound good.

Drop D is really useful if your just beginning to write, but as you advance, you should tune to something else to avoid your riffs getting old.

Chicago drop and dash

Taking a shit in a friend or relative's toilet then leaving without flushing. Preferably when said friend/relative is sleeping or at work. Even more preferable to catch a cross country flight afterward.

"Hey Todd, that was a nice Chicago drop and dash you did on your brother before catching that flight to Seattle.
