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!

Get the Microtonal mug.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.

Get the Microdot mug.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.
