Microtonal

Music using microtones; musical intervals significantly smaller than a half step. (E.A. quarter tones or smaller)

/\ that is the most precise definition, but more generally it can refer to any tuning system other than 12 tone equal temperament, usually not including those that sound like it. (well temperaments)

Arabic music doesn't use quarter tones, contrary to popular belief. Arabic music uses neutral intervals. (half way in between major and minor) For example, the neutral second is approximately 3/4 tones.
Dude! Arabic music is sick, with all those quarter tones and stuff.

Arabic music doesn't use quarter tones, the smallest interval used is a half step; Arabic music isn't really even microtonal. Go listen to some Greek enharmonic scales or Charles Ives!

Microphone Elbow

Coined by Bob Barker in the sixth episode in the eleventh season of The Price is Right, this is what happens when someone's arm gets sore from holding a microphone for too long and has to hold the mic with another hand. Also a sign that the episodes on Pluto TV's The Price is Right: The Barker Era is still on the first loop, and that the episodes are still repeats of a 38-year-old show.
Bob: I always hold the microphone in my right hand. But my right elbow is bothering me... and we've decided that I have microphone elbow, so I'm gonna hold it in my left hand.

Microdot

Microshit Idiot Exploder

The proper name for the internet browser Microsoft illegally put into every operating system. The software crashes frequently and dupes the user into downloading add-ons that slow the computer down and guzzle down RAM. And worst of all Microsoft stuck in restrictions that prohibit the user from uninstalling the browser.
The founders of Microsoft oughta be locked up for installing Microshit Idiot Exploder on our computers and forbidding us from deleting it.
