If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it

What the manager of an antiques-restoration shop specializing in post-Renaissance-era pieces tells a trainee while surveying a recently-delivered assortment of vintage art and furniture.

To ensure that we don't become overwhelmed with antiques that need TLC, I always tell my repairmen to just stick to pieces dating from the early 1600's through the mid-1700's --- "If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it, boys --- we'll send all the items from other periods elsewhere for refurbishing."

baroque pop

The style of music in which a relatively normal melody is backed up by rich orchestral arrangements and/or unique syncopation. It creates an overall mesmerizing quality to the music

Baroque pop is the best kind of music, especially when Rufus Wainwright sings it.

Baroque Pain Syndrome

This is the diagnosis for a long, elaborate story given to a doctor you don't know on a Friday night to try to convince him to call in a Vicodin prescription.

Ten minutes into the stranger's rambling, slurred story involving an undiagnosed medical condition, interstate travel, several animals and a plumbing accident, the doctor realized that the diagnosis must be Baroque Pain Syndrome.

Bonique

A very beautiful girl with an amazing heart. She will do everything for you if you are close enough to her. Sometimes emotionally unstable but always in for a laugh.

‘Damn who’s that hot chick?!’
‘Oh you don’t know? That’s Bonique’

baroque-hop

Intense style of music drawing primarily from hip-hop and classical influences. Created in Manly, Australia by three young pioneers on their travels, the first song (written by the now legendary Hostel Takeover) 'It's started...' won critical acclaim in the annual Boardrider music awards. Famous also for re-instating the oud as a mainstream instrument.

I can't believe how sick baroque-hop is.

Baroque

Anything amazingly cool, so cool that indeed no other word will do. It overwhelms the senses in its awesomeness. Often, it involves a particularly good outcome in a situation or a description of something great. Important note! This is never to be confused with Barack, as in, Mr. Obama.

Example #1:
Me: So I was gonna get busted for the drug possession, but the cop just looked the other way on it. He was so baroque!

Example #2:
Me: Wow, your painting is baroque, man!
You: I know; I rock.

Example #3:
You: Barack Obama is so baroque.
Me: You must be out of your mind, he is anything but!
