Flanging

Pronounced 'flan-jing', the act of mixing two audio signals together, with one being delayed by a small and slowly changing period producing an output signal with peaks and troughs in a harmonic series. Flangers are similar to phasers (phase-shifting, beyond the scope of this definition) however, if you listen intently enough, you can hear the difference.

The flange effect can best be described (to those who never studied wave mechanics) as a jet sound; sounds like a jet aircraft passing by the listener. Phasing on the other hand sounds much more alien and "other-worldly".

While used in all sorts of different music, flangers are most heavily used in psychedelic and dreamy music where strong harmonics and a "wall-of-sound" depth are often sought - used with good reason too, flanging sounds insanely beautiful when you're as high as a kite. ;)

I was listening to Slowdive's Machine Gun shortly after returning from another galaxy. Coming down, the flanging was simply too beautiful for my human ears, so I cried and reassessed existence.

Flinking

The act of floating and drinking

You wear a life jacket like a diaper, get in the water and float near the boat while drinking.

Lets take the boat out and do some flinking.

It's a great day to do some flinking.

Fliginst

Fliginst is a universal word that means anything at any time. Fliginst is mostly used as a noun, but can be converted and interchanged with verbs by shortening the word to its base "flig". The word is especially useful when two people (who know each other very well) want to communicate around others while keeping their conversation confidential.

Hello, how is your fliginst today?

Don't flig with that!

Flinking

Floating and drinking = flinking. Drinking alcoholic beverages while floating in a body of water (usually a pool or the ocean).

We spent most of our time flinking in the adult pool during our vacation in Cabo San Lucas this year.
