The Beat Happening is an Indie band that formed in the 80's. Their label is K Records. They're a band that many people turned to in a time of MTV's unfortunate popularity. Beat Happening were leaders in the Indie wave that many of us are all fond of nowadays. The band is from Olympia, WA. Characterized by Calvin Johnson's deep voice, rhythmic, yet not overdone guitar play, and beat producing drum playing, Beat Happening provides some good music for those of you that are just sick of listening to the force-fed shit that you get from MTV.
Good Beat Happening songs include: Cry for a Shadow, Indian Summer, Hot Chocolate Boy, You Turn Me On, Foggy Eyes....

Get the beat happening mug.1) The act of mentally shifting a hyphen in a sentence or comment which contains the pattern {adjective-ass noun} Used for personal amusement only. From the webcomic xkcd (www.xkcd.com/37)
2) Verbally expressing this mental re-hyphening to show discontent or apathy toward a person's vocabulary, word choice, comment, or the person in general.
Take note: Not all hyphens can be shifted for this effect - i.e. phrases like No-Talent Ass Clown or Punk-Ass Bitch - because the hyphens either don't make sense anywhere else, or they're just funnier where they are.

Get the what's happenin mug.1. A synonym for a plot twist or turn in a story (eg, book, movie) that is extremely convoluted and anti-climactic that makes something that originally had good potential seem completely pointless.
2. The film of the same name by M. Night Shymalan (he used to make kickass movies like Signs and the Sixth Sense) that birthed this definition. It starts with people mysteriously killing themselves like under a trance, but the twist is that plants are giving off toxens that are causing humans to do it. An unintentional comedy.
