Naughty Tune

Normally, a naughty tune is an filthy, grim, ponging song (think something like Absolute by Mr Traumatik), but it can also be used as a joke for that reason. A very simple and/or clean song can be called a naughty tune because it’s the exact opposite

Ghost Tune

(noun) – A tuning file that appears identical to others in hex or binary comparison, yet executes differently once flashed to a vehicle’s ECM/TCM. These “ghost” behaviors may include changes in throttle response, torque delivery, shifting patterns, or exhaust sound — despite showing no visible differences in tuning software.

🧠 This phenomenon was first documented by Sterling English in 2025 while using AI-assisted tuning tools like ChatGPT with HP Tuners on a 5.7L HEMI. The anomaly revealed that even byte-for-byte identical tunes could behave drastically differently due to hidden corruption or transfer-layer glitches — something traditional tuners would likely miss without AI analysis.

“Dude, that’s a ghost tune.”

"music on hold"-grade tune

Refers to a somewhat-"tame"/boring and/or repetitive musical composition that is "okay", but definitely nothing special or "memorable" --- it would merely be something that you might wanna half-listen to while waiting for someone to pick up/get back to you on the phone, be serenaded with over a store's PA system while shopping, or have for soothing your impatience when riding a slow elevator.

The NYC Greyhound station plays light-classical music over the ceiling-speakers to help its patrons to while away the long boring hours during bus-layovers; I appreciate it that they don't simply toss "music on hold"-grade tunes at you for extended periods.
