wow and flutter

Speed variations in a turntable,phonograph, or cassette player that cause irritating flattening in pitch with sour notes (wow) and/or garbled notes with jerky sharpening in pitch (flutter). Often heard from poorly manufactured, old, or poorly-maintained audio equipment. In the ages when LPs and audio cassettes were the only audio media available, stereo/high-fidelity magazines often used to rate audio components with wow and flutter specifications ranking at the top of the list.
George, your turntable has some nasty wow and flutter. The music sounds sour. It looks like it needs a new belt around the platter.

Jazz Flute

A particularly multi-syllabled, smooth yet punchy, moderately lengthy passing of gas, the tone of which most often progresses from a lower to higher pitch.
While in the gym shower, Gerald, perhaps a little overly eager to impress the guys at his new school, shot up his hands, hiked a leg and shouted "jazz flute!" and proceeded to rip a long and unfortunately colorful fart. A nearly perfect jazz flute ruined by a spicy burrito lunch. Thankfully, the shower was already turned on.

Beer Flute

A drinking game based around making a whistle-like sound from blowing onto the top of your beer bottle.

Each person starts out with a long sip, then the person with the highest pitch (drank the least) needs to set the new low pitch by drinking. This person then blows into their bottle to give the other players the new pitch, and solely based on the sound of the pitch, the other players must then chug and attempt to match the new low pitch. After the chug, everyone playing blows into their bottle and the player with the highest pitch needs to set the new standard, and you're on your way!
If at any time the new standard is the finishing of the bottle, all players must finish their beers to win. Anyone who does not finish in one chug loses.

Many find Beer Flute to be a great game because of its musicality, and its ability to become more versatile (and more fun) with more players.
