Tune in but Tune out

Phrase: When you, someone else, or even a group of people listen to a conversation (most often it's an argument or fight) between others to get all the juicy details, but don't want those who are having the conversation to know that you're listening to them, tell your fellow listeners to do this. Its primary use is to prevent getting yourself or others involved in the confrontation, and allows you to listen for the details.

Guy 1: Hey, the boss and the new guy are having an argument! Sounds like he won't be here much longer!

Guy 2: Tune in but Tune out, man! Get the details but don't get involved!

burble tune

A modification done to a vehicle, which intentionally causes the vehicle to backfire (unburnt fuel entering the exhaust). Unlike other forms of automotive tuning, a burble tune offers no gains in horsepower or fuel efficiency, and is in fact more likely to cause catastrophic engine damage and accelerate wear and tear.

Often done by teenage poser car guys who are too broke to afford mods that would actually increase the performance of their vehicle.

While a proper, high-performance tune may cause a car to backfire more than stock due to running more fuel and boost, a burble tune is specifically done only for the bops and bangs caused by a backfiring.

Person 1: look at that POS GTI! It's backfiring like crazy, must not be running right
Person 2: nah, it's running fine, asshole just has a burble tune
Person 3: running fine? with a burble tune? Not for long...

Valley of the Tunes

The Sonoma Valley, in northern California, is sometimes called the Valley of the Moon. This is derived from its slightly crescent shape. Because the valley is home to a very lively music scene, the area is also cleverly called the Valley of the Tunes.

Dude, I'll be in Sonoma; we have a gig in the Valley of the Tunes this Saturday.
