Percussive Maintenance

The act of striking an object with force, usually with your hand or foot, but can also be done with an object such as a hammer, in order to get it to work properly again.

*BAM BAM BAM BAM*

"Dear, what is that noise?" "It's okay, I'm just performing a little percussive maintenance on the TV."

percussion recalibration

A witty, but accurate term for the act of hitting, dropping, or kicking something to make it work like it was just a second ago.

Person 1: "Why are you hitting your TV like that?"

*Signal clears up*

Person 2: "Percussion recalibration. I hit it, and now it works again."

Cathy: Damn Bob, that was some serious Porcelain Percussion!! It almost smells as bad as my fold jam.

Bob: Thanks...if you would have done that, your toilet muffin would have slapped you in the head.

girl percussionist

a girl who plays a percussion instrument. normally only a few in a grade and sometimes in the school. if there are more than 1 half of them are normally really cute. also since they spend so much time around guys they are normally tomboys and have a guys sense of humor. they've probably dated at least one person in their section, most likely the 2nd cutest one because the 1st is obsessed with percussion and "doesn't have time for a girlfriend." all in all, girl percussionists are the ones that have the most guy friends, the most boyfriends, and the least amount of girl friends, and they don't care either.

"OMG did you hear that Sydney is a girl percussionist."
"Yeah she's the perfect candidate, her being all tomboyish and smokin' hot."
