undress the mule

An ambiguous term that can be applied to describe something that is open to interpretation, in order to disguise it's true meaning. Used to be vague about the true nature of what is being discussed. The more it doesn't make sense, the better.

I can't work under these conditions

Sarcastic phrase used to evoke the image of a high-strung actor or other professional who refuses to continue to work because of some trivial issue. Although the phrase sounds like a serious complaint, its familiarity as a meme or catch-phrase can actually be used to diffuse or lessen the impact of a minor issue that a group of people are unhappy about. Frequently used among theater types or other performers both in and out of the theatrical context.

Person 1: "Hey, we've got coffee, but only French Roast. We're out of Hazelnut."

Person 2, responding, perhaps throwing up their hands: "I can't work under these conditions!"

All: Laughter.

Underrated

A word that is horribly misused. YouTube comments tend to use this term a lot without actually knowing what it means. It means unrecognised or not valued highly enough not free internet points for something you like.

Video: Exists.
Idiot: OMG!!! SO UNDERRATED!! ☺️☺️

Please don't panic. Everything's under control.

Undisclosed Desires

Possibly the best song on Muse's album The Resistance. Includes sick beats, and a thumping base. Matt plays a keyboard guitar for the melody and does a hell of a good job. The music video is also incredibly good, picturing them in a "rock laboratory" MUST LISTEN TO!!

After hearing the song "undisclosed desires" live, I was changed forever
