String Bass

The underrated instrument in an orchestra. A string bass is the largest instrument in an orchestra, and has the lowest notes, and is the quietest instrument. In ascending order, the bass has the E string, A string, D, string, and G string. The bass’s purpose in an orchestra is to keep a tempo usually for other instruments in the orchestra. Basses don’t always do this, they can have the melody, it’s just not so common. It’s also not an easy instrument to play, it’s quite difficult. It’s still a wonderful instrument to play that can create beautiful music. The orchestra also depends on the bass to be on the beat to keep the other instruments in sync with each other, and to be in tune. The bass is really an important instrument. Don’t give bass players any crap, it can really get to them sometimes. They’re important!
Person A: What’s that big instrument in the back of the orchestra?

Person B: Oh! That’s a string bass!

Person A: It doesn’t do much.

Person B: Well, actually, it does. You may not be able to hear it too well, but the bass is keeping the rest of the orchestra on the beat and in tune!

Person A: Wow, it sounds like the orchestra really relies on the bass a lot.

Person B: They do, but they don’t like to admit it. They just give them a lot of crap.

Person A: Wow. They shouldn’t do that.

Person B: IKR!

American Starving

This is most often confused with actual starvation. It's the time when one thinks one is about to die of hunger, when actually, Americans have no idea what starving is because they are, on average, fed three meals a day.
(1) I'm so starving! I could eat a whole elephant!

(2) Oh really? You are so starving? Because you just ate about an hour ago.

(1) Fine! I'm American Starving.

Patrick Starring

When you stay at home with nothing to do other than wait for your friend to come back from whatever plans they have that day. It is inspired by the episode of Spongebob Squarepants titled "New Student Starfish", when Patrick is upset that Spongebob has to go to school and can't hang out. Spongebob asks Patrick, "What do you normally do while I'm gone?" To which Patrick replies, "Wait for you to get back!"
Friend A: "Sorry, I can't hang out right now, I have work until ten."
Friend B: "That's okay, I'll just be Patrick Starring until you get out."
