hall monitor

An adult employed by high schools to watch over hallways for bad behavior. The final evolutionary stage of the kid that would always remind the teacher to check the class's homework, hall monitors are usually losers and busybody Karens who feel important because of their petty position of authority that allows them to flex on kids. They suffer from a small man syndrome and are constantly on a mission to bust youngsters for the pettiest of infractions, such as vaping in the bathrooms, loitering after lunch breaks, wearing subjectively inappropriate attire and walking any faster than a slow strolling pace in the hallways.

Hall monitors are peculiarly nosy, prying, arrogant and self-entitled people who feel better about themselves for picking on kids who are more than half their age younger, being extremely proficient snitches. They will normally be in the employ of a high school well into their 60s as they have no desire or ambition to do anything better with their lives and are content with living out the rest of their existence in abject mediocrity.

-Hey man, want to go and smoke a bowl after school?
-I can't, one of the hall monitors wrote me up for Juuling in the bathroom and I've got 10 days of in-school suspension. Don't these people have anything better to do?

Internal Monitoring & Enforcement 

IME is a better task force than literally the other 4. I really don't give a fuck what skull thinks but I'd rather be doing the epic gamer moves rather than doing the cringe guarding as A-1, lego recontaining and B-7, or participate in a point and click adventure game as S-9. E-11 is cool I guess.

"Wow is that Internal Monitoring & Enforcement?"
"yes"

Food monitor 

The person who nitpicks and judges everyone's food choices at the dinner table.

Food Monitor: You can't eat those french fries, those have 1600 calories, they are bad for you. Similar to the hall monitor when you were at school.

Monitor

In sound parlance, any device that allows a performer to hear themselves. Also applies to most all forms of non end user playback.

On stage, the monitors are usually wedge shaped speakers that point toward the performers. They are mixed to provide the sound that is not present on stage, usually vocals, keyboards, and other non amped instruments, although they often reinforce such instruments.

Larger concerts will have a monitor mixer and engineer that is off to the side of the stage with a special multiple bus console which is fed via a stage splitter. Smaller concerts use the auxiliary buses on the main console.

In studio, the monitors are both for performer and producer, the latter often using speakers called studio monitors and the former commonly using headphones. These allow both parties to hear the mix and, most importantly, allow the performer to hear themselves. The studio monitor speakers are used to mix down the performance, and to monitor the performer.

Common types are Stage Monitors, Studio Monitors, In-Ear Monitors, and Isolation Headphones.

"I need more vocal in the monitor"
"The monitors are feeding back!"
