Rate Your Music

A site that tries to be the musical equivalent to IMDb, but is just another music board that is filled with pseudo-intellectual indie twats who try to out-hip each other.

Has ridiculously high ratings for generic whiny indie bands (Radiohead, Arcade Fire, The Smiths, Neutral Milk Hotel, Pavement, ...) and therefore cannot be taken seriously.

Music fan: "What is the darkest band you've heard?"

HipsterIrony17: "Coldplay."
IndieFuckswit: "HAHAHA, I lol'd."
Douchebag#1: "OP is an idiot, worst thread ever!!!"

Typical forum discussion on Rate Your Music.

pro-rated

A euphemistic term invented by corporations to get around having to tell you that your assets are now worthless.

"Hello, Orbitz? Yeah, I missed my flight."
"Okay, sir, then your ticket is now pro-rated."
"Pro-rated? Does that mean I get first class?"
"No, it means your ticket isn't worth dick."

Rate Swap

a financial instrument used to part fools from their money. Usually involves speculating on interest rates. The fools, or 'mark', in this con are often unsophisticated public officials such as school boards or county commissions who are gambling with your money. The fools are advised by sleazeballs known as 'financial advisers' or 'consultants'. The sleazeballs are paid by both the fool and either directly or indirectly by the counterparty that makes a shitload of money, the greedy grifters often referred to as 'banks'. The banks only lose often enough to keep the hopeful fools signing up. By the time fools realize they have been had, it is a lose-lose situation. Pay enormous fees to terminate the contract, or continue riding it into the hole, hoping for a miracle.

Dude, why are your schools shit?

'Cause the board got fooled into a rate swap. We got jackshit and owe millions.

Girl: Yes. Like he could ever let us forget it.
Argh....he's such a rater!
