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?"

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.

Pissed on the monitor

A phrase you say when something bad has happened but also after that another bad thing happens.

Kyle: Yea man but you won’t believe what happened after that. My girlfriend called and broke up with me.

Sean: Wow you just pissed on the monitor!
