The only YouTube video you can watch repeatedly for 10 hours without getting bored.

White-Noise Blues

Share definition
The difficulty you experience falling asleep, when you've become accustomed to playing a podcast or YouTube or tv shows before bed. And then you're traveling and have to sleep somewhere without internet reception. So your bedroom is way too quiet, and there's no external jabbering to interrupt your own existentially tormented thoughts.
"Hey, Edna. Glad to see you're back. How was the camping trip?"
"It was great, but I really didn't get very good sleep while I was out there"
"Oh really? I figured without all the hub-bub from the city, you'd sleep a lot better"
"That's what I thought! But I just felt isolated instead"
"Sounds like you've got a case of the White-Noise Blues"

The White Noise

Share definition
A kick ass post-hardcore band from Los Angeles. They signed to Fearless Records in 2015 and currently only have one EP out called "Aren't You Glad?" that came out in early 2016. They're also a hell of a band to see live, because of the amount of energy they have on stage that leads them to put on an amazing performance. Fun fact: their guitarist, KJ, helped Crown the Empire work on their latest album.
I had the time of my life seeing The White Noise last night. When's their next tour???

Using the 'Golden Girls' TV show as an aid in falling asleep, similar to listening to white noise.

White Girl Noise

Share definition
The sound of a one-way conversation a white girl has with you that is so uninteresting that it merely becomes static in the back of your mind, while you nod and pretend to pay attention.
Girl: My iPhone broke, and my mum won't pay to fix it, which sucks because now I can't afford my daily mocha-chino latte from Starbucks...... blah blah blah

Guy: *thinks* Man, this chick just doesn't fucking shut up, I'll nod and hope she doesn't realise what she's saying is just white girl noise.

This is a racial slur, because it associates individual personalities and traits with a skin color.

It is both positive and negative:
(1) Adaptive: flexible, able to switch to a different strategy in a new environment.
(2) Gaussian: (named after Carl Friedrich Gauss, a mathematician) vaguely implies above-average mathematical abilities or intelligence.
(3) Noise: (pejorative) nuisance, something to be ignored. A neutral synonym would be "dissenting opinion". However, in some social settings, being a dissenting voice imparts a sense of snobbishness.

Not to be confused with Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN), which is a mathematical concept deeply rooted in digital signal processing and probability theory. The correct interpretation of the four words of AWGN are:

(1) Additive (not to be misspelled addictive) means addition (the sum of two numbers).

(2) White means (i) consisting of all frequencies (ii) uncorrelated. This meaning stems from the physical phenomemon that a white light is formed from a mixture of monochromatic lights of various frequencies.

(3) Gaussian refers to the Gaussian Distribution, also known as a Normal Distribution, a concept in probability.
As used in bumper stickers, tshirt. Misuse of "Adaptive White Gaussian Noise" may result in disciplinary actions from school.
