the courteeners 

The Courteeners are an British band formed in Manchester, England in 2006 by Liam Fray (guitar/vocals), Michael Campbell (drums/backing vocals), Daniel Conan Moores (Guitar), and Mark Cuppello (bass). All four band members hail from the Middleton area of Greater Manchester, and have known each other since they were ten years old.

The band's debut single, "Cavorting" was released on August 6th 2007 by Loog Records. The single sold out immediately, with all available copies pre-ordered by their friends. A second single, "Acrylic" was released on October 22nd 2007 reaching number 44 in the UK Chart, the video also received considerable playtime on MTV2.

The band have often been compared, both in look and in attitude, to fellow Mancunian rock band Oasis. The band have played down these comparisons, saying although Oasis are their idols, they sound "nothing like Oasis musically".
You spend too much time sat in your bedroom, on your PC
Are you sure you couldn’t have found the time,
Swallowed your pride and admitted your jealousy
Sometimes I’m bad, sometimes I’m rotten, sometimes I say things I probably,
should have forgotten about people or things
Do you know who I am, I’m like a Morrissey with some strings

The Courtney and Samm Phase 

When you date somone on and off for a long period of time, even though dating doesn't work out you still feel drawn to the other person, and in the end you realize you two are meant to be best friends.
"They broke up AGAIN? That's like the 5th time this month. They're totally in the Courtney and Samm phase"

The Courtesy Of A Reach-Around 

The most basic way to show respect to somebody.
Guy 1: "Hey, how was your date."
Guy 2: "It was good, except for one thing."
G1: " What?"
G2: "She didn't give me the courtesy of a reach-around."
G1: "Not even the courtesy of a goddamn reach-around?! You should dump her."

Disband the courts

The Cortina Scale 

Much like the Richter scale which is a measure of the strength of earthquakes. The Cortina scale is used in the measuring of farts. The scale goes from 1 to 10 with 1 being not stinky to 10 being the stinkiest toot ever created. If one does not throw up it cannot be considered a 10.
That toot was an absolute room clearer. It must have been atheist a 7.2 on the Cortina Scale

The Appomattox Courthouse 

When you are banging around a very solemn and tearful crowd of people. Such as, at a funeral.
Brenda's grandfathers' wake was last night. To help her cope, we did The Appomattox Courthouse in the funeral home.

Jimmy is always cruising at funerals to see which sad chick he can give The Appomattox Courthouse to.
