Electronica

A word used by the media to describe the revival of electronic music in popularity in the mid to late 1990's. Specifically, it referred to electronic music with a sound influenced by rock (with live drums instead of electronically produced percussion) and a little bit of hip-hop (mainly breaks/samples). This style, while called electronica by the mass media, became known as Big Beat (which I will use to describe "electronica" from now on in the definition) by many others, and it included subgenres such as Chemical Breaks and Funky Breaks, too. Big Beat eventually fell out of fashion, mainly its focus on breaks made it unoriginal; there were only a few dozen breaks that producers used, so it became repetitive.

However, some of the people making big beat back during it's heyday are still producing this type of music, most notably The Chemical Brothers, who won the Grammy award for best electronic/dance album in 2006 (for the album "Push The Button").

Person A: Did you listen to that new Fatboy Slim album? That was some great electronica!

Person B: It's big beat, not electronica. (Person B walks away from Person A and sighs.) Stupid media.

Examples of big beat groups: Fatboy Slim, The Chemical Brothers, The Crystal Method, The Prodigy (starting in 1997)

Amish Electrician

Completely fake or made up job, usually to impress a girl but can also be used on parents. friends or future employers.

Can also mean shoddy workmanship or a screwed up job

You told that girl at the party you are a tax lawyer? You don't even have a job. You should have told her your a freakin Amish Electrician.

You put project manager on your last resume, Jesus if your going to lie just put head Amish Electrician while you at it.

I dont think that girls dad likes you. You told him your self employed, you should have said your an Amish Electrician, it would sound more believable.

Look at this wiring job, it looks like it was done by an Amish Electrician!

electric mung

Using a crash cart to deliberately induce the expulsion of genital body fluids from a fresh corpse. This is typically done when one does not have a munging partner and instead must resort to his/her own devices. Commonly carried out by medical students and EMTs, who have access to both crash carts and fresh corpses.

Man, I just got done with my midterm physiology exams, I think I'm going to go for an Electric Mung tonight.
