Rocks Like Nickelback

This phrase, made popular by the nu-metal band Nickelback, can mean one of two things, both however have the same underlying meaning.

1. A phrase almost always used sarcastically to denote how much something sucks
2. A phrase used to denote something good, but also used sarcastically because Nickelback really does suck

1. Andrew: "Man we just lost that game 86 to 53."
Jim: "Yeah that really Rocks Like Nickelback."

2. Paul: "Dude I just got the goods."
Time: "Man that Rocks Like Nickelback."

nickelbacking

exposure of a cat's anus (shitty, like the band) generally exposed during a petting session when he turns his butt toward your face and raises his tail. It is not a good experience, but you figure the cat must be ignorant of how awful it is, because no creature would willingly torture someone in that way (shitty, like the band)

also his butt is round (like a nickel!) and on his backside..

You: "Goddammit the cat is nickelbacking me again"
Me: "Well at least it's not quite as shitty as the band"

Nickelback Trapped

Being in a situation where you can't get to the radio when a Nickelback song comes on, thus having to suffer through the duration of the song.

Dude, I turned the radio up as I got in the shower because they were playing Bowie, but they played Nickelback next and I was all suds'd up. I got Nickelback Trapped. I hate that!
