Music Video Director

A director hired mainly for his vision and ability to place and execute stunning visual images, stories and actions into the short time frame of a song. Usually considered as short films lead by musical tracks rather than dialogue.

Hype Williams, X, Director Hugo V, Spike Jonez are a few examples of some of the most notable music video directors.

Directed by M. Night Shymalan

A phrase used to point out a major twist in a film, conversation, or story.

The phrase originates from Shymalan's notorious reliance on twist endings. It usually holds a scornful connotation, due to the lackluster quality of many of Shymalan's recent films.

It is most commonly seen on boards such as Reddit, Tumblr, or 4chan.

Person A: "...and then it turned out that he was actually a transsexual midget standing on another midget's shoulders."
Person B: "..."
Person C: "Directed by M. Night Shymalan."

marching band director

The person in charge of picking music, writing drill, and teaching the band how to march. Can usually be found saying, "One more time!" and then having the band repeat it seven more times. The band director quite often does no dirty work of their own and has the drum major take care of it.

The marching band director could never be trusted when he said "One more time"

director

A mythical creature known to occasionally visit corporate offices. Directors thrive upon the professionalism and professional attire of all employees of the offices, and as such, several notices are issued in advance of a director's arrival for people to be on their best behavior. Directors, however, are quite elusive - despite an employee's best behavior and finest dress, these efforts are often in vain, as directors do not desire to go slumming with the commonfolk. A director's smile is known to result in rapid career advancement. Ironically, the most common instance of a director's smile is from employee termination.

There is a director coming to the office. Business casual is still appropriate, but please consider dressing in your most professional business casual attire. (i.e. shirts tucked in, sleeves not rolled up, consider shoe choice)

Executive Director

A ridiculously hyperactive breed of people who micro manage everything. They often speak in a language of their own, one which no one can understand (like dolphin squeaks). They are often found repeating "yep" again and again in an effort to show everyone they already know everything, therefor never actually listening to anyone. Physical characteristics include scary large eyes, a floopa, and bad 80's hair.

"Excuse me, Executive Director,RUN! The building is on FIR-"
"Yepyepyepyepyepyepyepyepyepyepyepyep"
"NO, THE BUILDING IS ON FIRE!!!!!"
"Yepyepyepyepyepyepyepyepyepyepyepyep"
"Oh fuck ya then...burn."

director's cut

The long version (of a story). So-named due to the fact that most Director's Cuts of films are longer, sometimes interminably so.

Johnny: So, it was just after 6, and we hadn't even gotten out of the house yet, since Jane wanted to catch the end of "So you think you can dance..."

Jim: Hey, can you skip to the good parts? We don't need the director's cut.

news director bump

An inordinately large key bump or rail/line of cocaine. One that is larger than most dispensings...namely reserved for only the most seasoned of cocaine abusers.

"Sandy gave Dennis a big old news director bump of blow and Barbara said it was too dman big".
