While her mother was in surgery, Norma tried to remember all the state capitals. It was her way of whistling in the dark.

Get the dark starmug. Dark ambient is like a marriage between ambient and industrial. Is naturally dark and much more interesting than regular ambient. Doesn't feature any cheesy synths, unless made by an ex black metal musician (that oftenly makes people bitch about whether the music is dark ambient or not; it usually is not). Usually doesn't feature any guitars. On those rare cases when it does (like in drone doom), it's definitely non-conventional use.
Much influenced by "musique concrete", dark ambient features recorded sounds, oftenly of non-musical nature.
Dark ambient can have various esthetics. Moaning and chanting, chain rattling (no, that's no ghost) raison d'etre-like stuff, radioactive droning of Fallout soundtrack, heavy pounding sounds of mechanisms, crazy shamanic drum-machine sounds, abrasive noise fragments - all these can make up different moods in dark ambient.
People who don't get dark ambient music, are found scrolling through the tracks in their desperate attempt of finding "where does at least SOME music start?"
There's also a tendency among some cultist freaks to puke up some really lousy synth pads and moans, put runes or pentagrams and some pseudo-religious texts on an album cover and call it "dark ambient", or "pagan/ritual/black dark ambient", or "neo-satanic nazi anti-nazi superficial industrial death dark ambient". Trust me, you don't wanna listen to that crap.

Don't get scared away by Deutsch Nepal's track names. That guy is a sick bastard, but he still makes some good dark ambient.

Get the dark ambientmug. Dark metal is a genre of metal that has elements of death, black, doom and gothic metal. These elements are: synthesizers, acoustic guitars, clean vocals/distorted/operatic female vocals.
It could be described as a more sophisticated and medolic addition to the genre. The lyrics are often introspective and poetic.

Get the Dark Whitemug. When a lover takes the liberty to defecate on their significant others chin, lips and cheeks. The mouth is typically closed which would allow for a resemblance of a black/poop brown beard. The lover than can optionally top it off by accessorizing a poo-Santa hat if the said lover has any feces left to share.
(Typically done laying down, but for an extra challenge can be done upright.)

Monica gave me a Dark Santa for Christmas last night, it was more a gift for her than it was for me.

Get the Dark Santamug. When a group of three or more people stand in a room each with their own spoon in hand. The lights are turned off and everyone throws their spoon at the peron they hate the most. The peron who gets hit the most is the loser!
