Viola

There's a lot more violin concerti than Viola concerti because Violas aren't as good as violins.

Viola

A) A sad, disappointing, and embarassing instrument played by sad, disappointing, and embarassing people. A chainsaw would fare better in a string quartet than this monstrosity.
B) An abbreviated term for "viola player" or "violist," often used casually in school orchestras

A) Person 1: "Hey, Derrick, look at that pile of shit on the ground."
Person 2: "Naw man, that's a viola."

B) Cellist: "Have you heard the violas?! They're shit!"
Violinist: "I know. I hope they don't have any solis in our next piece."
