Music Player Deprivation Disorder

Can be shortened to MPD disorder or MPDD. It is when a person has a song stuck in their head when he/she does not have a device that can play music or is not allowed to use a music player. Symptoms including a change in opinion whether or not they like the song, tapping of the toes or fingers (or other body part), unexplainable rage or confusion, fatigue and even impatience. The only known cures for people suffering from this temporary state are: preoccupying oneself, thinking about another song or playing different music.

1.Guy: Crap, I've got a song in my head... wait, where's my iPod? It's never there when I'm suffering from Music Player Deprivation Disorder!

2. Girl: No! I've got "Bad Romance" stuck in my head.

Guy: Sounds like a bad case of MPDD. Wanna borrow my iPod?

Girl: Can't. We're taking a test next period, and we can't use our iPods.

Depreciation

(v.) The act of depreciating, is lowering the value of an asset with a calculable value. This mostly refers to the value for old items falling as the demand for them wanes.

There is a lot of depreciation to be considered on the prices of cars where the manufacturer constantly changes the look. 50's, 60's and 70's Mercedes-Benz were almost unchanged, right down to the starting point for change- the headlights. This means that such collectors items are worth more (when inflation is added) then current Mercedes will be at that age. Since BMW likes to change appearance more often, thier cars depreciate more.

self-deprecating humor

Humor where you put yourself down.
Sometimes funny, but sometimes overused fishing for compliments or a signal of low self-esteem.
