indoor percussion

a group of people (usually around 15 to 30) that perform 5-10 minutes of music indoors after marching season has ended. ages of people involved depend on the category (scholastic-highschoolers, independant-any age up to age limit, open-mostly college aged up to age limit, world-mostly college aged up to age limit).

ensembles usually are split into front ensemble (marimba, xylophone, vibraphone, synth, toys) and battery (snare, tenor, bass drums, cymbals) or in the case of concert ensembles, that have just front ensemble with no marching. the music difficulty depends on the categories (or a mixture: i.e. independant open, scholastic A) and usually follows a theme or idea shown through the music.

indoor percussion groups are insane, how do they play all those notes?!

five percent

A doctrine which emerged in 1960s as an offshoot of the Nation of Islam. The belief is that mankind began about one million years ago in the Mideast (Black people are today refered to as "Asiatic Black Man.") The doctrine holds that 85% of the people are presumed to be chumps, spending their life deluded and ripped off. 10% do the ripping off, are in the scams of entertainment, sports, politics, religion, business, etc., and live as fat cats but in sin. Only 5% have the knowledge and moral standing to be the world’s teachers. Non-black people are not excluded from the ranks of the potential righteous and the doctrine holds that one's works and life are more important than skin color.

The doctrine has lately undergone a vigorous ressurgence thanks in large part to hip-hop artists, particularly Busta Rhymes, Wu-Tang, Rakim and Big Daddy Kane. The movement now refers to itself as the “Nation of Gods and Earths.”

Despite trappings, the movement has only the most tenuous links to Islam. Most importantly, adherrants believe in several gods, that the words of prophets have been distorted beyond recognition and that the Five Percent are in themselves, Gods or at least the Gods' agents.

"I wanna big up Five Percent Nation Of Islam, Yeah!"

-- Busta Rhymes, from "New York Shit"

Mystic eyes of death perception

Extremely over-powered super natural ability that allows the user to kill anything in excistance by percieving the targets point/lines of death. These lines/points can be seen on the object/person the user is trying to kill. This ability is limited to what the user can percieve, as such the user cannot kill things or entities that can a: not be killed or b: cannot be percieved. If it has an end, it can be ended. There are so far only two users of this ability in the type-moon universe: Shiki Tohno and Shiki Ryouga.

percent

Amount per hundred. A concept which many people are somewhat naive about. Often abbreviated as "%" (the percent sign).

I've read that people will often treat a 0.1 percent chance as less than a 1-in-1000 chance, even though they are exactly the same amount. *shrug*

Percy Pringle

The innovative way of sticking your unwipped dirty ass on someones face while they are passed out drunk leaving fresh skid marks on their nose and lips.

Chester took full advantage of Ernie's drunk ass by giving him a nice greasy percy pringle to wake up to.
