Bar Modeling

The mathematical equivalent of a child riding a tricycle before switching to a bicycle, or using a float while learning to swim—using bar diagrams instead of forming algebraic equations to solve word problems.

Bar modeling, which is the heart and soul of the Singapore math curriculum, acts a bridge between elementary (or primary) math and middle school (or secondary) math—where concrete rectangles or bars are used instead of abstract variables for unknown quantities.

Whammy Bar

Informal term for a tremolo bar for an electric guitar. There's alot of cool tricks you can do with them. My personal favourite is the Dimebag Whammy squeal where basically you pluck an open strick then you catch the harmonic and pull up on the tremolo bar. It's also a common technique in death metal to make the music more haunting.

Bar Pet

in the context of humans, a bar pet could refer to a regular patron or someone who is always at the bar, often known to the staff and other customers. They might be endearing, eccentric, or just always present, earning them a playful, affectionate label like a "bar pet."

Jadyn is such a bar pet, she's always hanging out with the staff.

Horizontal bar

A sport construction out of metal with a horizontal metal bar in the middle where you can try to to wind your body around it in several positions and directions.

Being loved by german sports teachers at school. Probably invented by the devil himself.

Statistics say that every fifth student can leave the sports hall without crushed balls.

Teacher: You! Come to the horizontal bar.
My balls: Ah, shit – here we go again…
