aka Funk Ball: A small white or whitish-yellow nugget found when massaging the tonsils. Able to be removed most effectively with a Q-tip. WARNING: Funk Balls may appear in groups. The stench emitted from Funk Balls is a combination of straight poop and vomit, only worse... much worse.

Get the funk-ified mug.A funkathon is the naughties version of a house 'disco' which lasts longer than 24 hours.
Funkathons differ from house parties in the following ways:
*Much more alcohol
*The attendance of many many people you barely know
*Very loud and non-stop music
*Smokey perfumed atmosphere
*Sex in odd places
*More than 24 hours of non-stop partying

"Hey man, what was the funkathon at Adams house like?"
"Um, someone tattoed 'you had a great time with Janine and Tara' onto my ass - but I can't remember who they are, or where my ass is."

Get the Funkathon mug.A genre of music that uses upbeat rhythms, syncopated basslines and slicey guitars to create music that's good for lovin' or for dancin'.
Funk uses earthy feelings and very African polyrhythms to create a home-cooked kind of sound. It was originally the hardest form of R&B and incorporated jazz in its own way, often meandering into long jams built on a single bass groove.
Some funk pioneers:
James Brown, whose sixties soul hits eventually moved into funk music. Brown was the least psychedelic out of the Trio of Funk Pioneers.
Sly and the Family Stone, who, as many funk bands, began as a psychedelic soul band. Taking the extended jamminess of psychedelica and the black rhythms of soul, they pioneered a new, poppier kind of funk with their album, Stand!.
George Clinton is the last major funk pioneer, and my own personal favourite. Also known as Dr. Funkenstein and Uncle Jam, Clinton's groups Parliament and Funkadelic (and the conglomeration, th P-Funk Allstars) was perhaps the most influential of all three pioneers as they brought funk to a more mainstream audience.
Other funky artists: The Meters, The Ohio Players, Bootsy's Rubber band, The O'Jays.
Artists that were influenced by funk encompass every hip-hop star who has ever had a funky beat. Other artists that were influenced by funk include the Red Hot Chili Peppers, David Bowie (remember Young Americans?), Prince, Stevie Wonder, War (primarily the song Low Rider) and The Neptunes.
