wax-poetic

To "wax poetic" means to become increasingly verbose and romantic in speech. To become more and more like a poem.

"Wax" = increase, "wane" = decrease.

It has nothing to do with vinyl records and bullshit hip-hop, "yo."

poets of the fall

Poets of the Fall are an amazing band that hardly anyone has ever heard of outside of Europe. Pisses all over every other band that is out there. And then some. Check out their music on their website, or the repulsive phenomenon that is known as myspace.
Example: Poets of the Fall are the musical form of heaven.

Bad Poetry Face

The slim shrug of the lips you make, kind of like an "all righty" in the country manner, whilst nodding your head, when you're hearing really bad poetry. As if you've got to pass gas. As if you've got a pitcher of beer in your bladder and the moron poet keeps on reading. You share this look with a friend, who is also making the bad poetry face. This poetry sucks ass. The poet sucks ass. He is a "sucker butthole."
I went to the reading and just a few minutes after it started, I was already making the bad poetry face. Ugh. That dude sucked. What was his name? It rhymes with Bony Toadland. Tony Toadland? Bony Hoagland? I can't remember, but one thing is sure, his spineless, p.c. poetry sucks ass, and you, too, will make the bad poetry face -- if you really think about it -- after he starts reading.
