An alcoholic beverage named after Captain Sullenberger, the pilot who successfully landed a commercial airliner in the Hudson river without harming any passengers.
The drink consists of a shot of Grey Goose, dropped into a glass of water. Grey Goose represents the flock of geese that caused the engines to fail, and the water obviously represents the river in which the plane was landed.
This drink is far from ideal, likewise, so is landing a plane in the river, but it'll work in the most dire situations.

Sometimes you just have to improvise. How about a Sullenberger shot? Drop a shot of the Goose into a glass of water, and salute Captain Sully

Get the Sulen mug.a more specific generalization of similar types of art or style (most commonly music) within a less specific genre. subgenres are very constantly changing, as since they are so specific, if a musical artist classified under one subgenre changes their style a little, it may either redefine the subgenre completely or cause the band to be classified under a different subgenre. this may cause confusion, and people tend to be very adamant about knowing what each subgenre stands for, although this representation varies heavily from person to person. subgenres are also commonly misused by shallow dicks to classify people based on their general types of art, style or music.
some MODERN subgenres of the "rock" music genre:
grunge -- commonly used to describe a type of rock that's somewhat on the heavy side. throaty voices and guitars with heavy gain and bass are common.
metal -- the heaviest form of rock. the music is sometimes classified as angry, often with screaming or growling voices incorporated, as well as drums with double bass, heavy guitar progressions in a minor key, high gain lead guitar solos, and a fast tempo. metal even has its own subgenres, such as death metal (commonly the music associated with the style generalization of "goths"), hair metal, melodic metal, etc.
punk -- debatably the fastest paced form of rock. often the music is simple, consisting of power chords and simple lead guitar parts very frequently in a major key, and simple but fast paced drumbeats with a fill added every so often. punk is sometimes otherwise defined by politically critical lyrics. this is one of the genres used also to classify a certain group of people, who are often automatically judged as immature, skaters, stoners, and pricks.
hardcore -- music that is similar to metal in its heavy components (such as incorporated screaming vocals, drums with double bass, etc.) but with thinner singing voices, a higher pitched and thinner scream, and a rhythm guitar distortion with less gain and bass and more treble. also a term misused to generalize people as tough or fearless, and usually a style with a lot of body piercings is included in this generalization.
indie -- rock music that is simply classified as different from the mainstream. this genre is often misused and originally spawned to describe bands or artists that are unsigned by a record label (hence "indie" as short for "independent"), yet a genre is not supposed to define a band's business state but the style of their music. this genre is most commonly used as a term to generalize people in the UK, basically to describe people who reject anything mainstream and conform to being unique. the term "scene" is used for this purpose in america.
emo -- a softer form of rock with thin, crisp guitar distortion. the music often takes influence from punk, hardcore, and indie music, but the vocals are sung often in a higher end vocal range with a thin, untrained voice. the term is often misused to describe music with depressing lyrics, although the purpose of a genre does not include generalizing the lyrics, simply the music. this subgenre is probably the most commonly used to classify people, given with a negative connotation and usually rejected or denied by the recipient. this subgenre is used to describe people depressed over petty matters, and is also commonly associated with a style which includes males with long bangs covering one eye and girls' jeans. the term "scene" may also describe this style.
screamo -- music in between hardcore and emo. bands which fall under this subgenre are commonly mistaken to define emo.

usually this feeling occurs when a person is mad but cannot express his/her feelings properly and fails to communicate with his/her audience, creating an awkward and general feeling of uneasiness
Context: Dillian is mad because Josephina and Mildred pissed him off.
Jospehina: "Dillian what's wrong?"
Dillian: "....... (angry face showing his silently ill-minded mind)"
Mildred: "uhhh are you ok?"
Dillian: ".......(making situation gradually more awkward)"
Geutrude (girl's name): "what's wrong with Dillian?"
Josephina: "uhh i don't know he won't say...."
Dillian: (looks off into the distance, looking very angry, but still failing to describe how he feels)
(As Dillian looks into the distance, Josephina and Mildred leave, awkwardly leaving Geurtrude in silence with Dillian)
In conclusion, Dillian's sullen attitude made the entire situation BAD
