Get the Raymor and Flanagan mug.Pronounced 'flan-jing', the act of mixing two audio signals together, with one being delayed by a small and slowly changing period producing an output signal with peaks and troughs in a harmonic series. Flangers are similar to phasers (phase-shifting, beyond the scope of this definition) however, if you listen intently enough, you can hear the difference.
The flange effect can best be described (to those who never studied wave mechanics) as a jet sound; sounds like a jet aircraft passing by the listener. Phasing on the other hand sounds much more alien and "other-worldly".
While used in all sorts of different music, flangers are most heavily used in psychedelic and dreamy music where strong harmonics and a "wall-of-sound" depth are often sought - used with good reason too, flanging sounds insanely beautiful when you're as high as a kite. ;)

I was listening to Slowdive's Machine Gun shortly after returning from another galaxy. Coming down, the flanging was simply too beautiful for my human ears, so I cried and reassessed existence.

Get the flanigan mug.Any coach who habitually misses key games and/or practices due to back alimony checks, long strings of traffic violations, or can't get into his car because he can't find anyone to trick the breathalizer that the State installed in his car to start it.
Coach also must appear to games intoxicated, and force his underage players to drink Natty Lite for every loss and complain about how expensive mint leaves are out of season.
Optionally, the coach must also sprint out of the games when there's a large fight and the police are called yelling something along the lines of "I can't go back to prison".
Must be inspirational.

Looks like Coach Smith is really turning out to be a better coach than that alcoholic dead-beat Dick Flanagan.
