Electronica

A word used by the media to describe the revival of electronic music in popularity in the mid to late 1990's. Specifically, it referred to electronic music with a sound influenced by rock (with live drums instead of electronically produced percussion) and a little bit of hip-hop (mainly breaks/samples). This style, while called electronica by the mass media, became known as Big Beat (which I will use to describe "electronica" from now on in the definition) by many others, and it included subgenres such as Chemical Breaks and Funky Breaks, too. Big Beat eventually fell out of fashion, mainly its focus on breaks made it unoriginal; there were only a few dozen breaks that producers used, so it became repetitive.

However, some of the people making big beat back during it's heyday are still producing this type of music, most notably The Chemical Brothers, who won the Grammy award for best electronic/dance album in 2006 (for the album "Push The Button").
Person A: Did you listen to that new Fatboy Slim album? That was some great electronica!

Person B: It's big beat, not electronica. (Person B walks away from Person A and sighs.) Stupid media.

Examples of big beat groups: Fatboy Slim, The Chemical Brothers, The Crystal Method, The Prodigy (starting in 1997)

Elecution

This means Electric Execution, Electrocuting Execution or Electrocuted Execution, which means an execution by use of electricity, electromagnetic weapons, or lightning. It's usually done by electricity of high voltage so there's very little pain involved, since the receiver dies quickly from this depending on which method is used to do this legal action.

This method can originate to the mythological god of thunder, Thor, as long as he is called to do this legal action at the time. This is barely used nowadays, but it has been done.

Usually is done by either electricity itself or an electromagnetic weapon, but if used by lightning the receiver is usually brought somewhere where it hits like a lightning rod, or another electrical source to draw the lightning towards it. Lightning is the most rare use of this method. Despite this method being used very rarely anyway. Most cases use only electricity. Very rarely the use of the weapon or lightning.

It's very illegal in the US to do this method as well as being illegal in this decade in most places and in the last century.
High Council Member: We hath to perform the elecution on this case. I'm sorry to have to have thy sentenced to this, but it shall be done. We must summon Master Thor to the area, have the receiver meet him immediately.

--
Tanor: Jeez, I have to perform the elecution on this villain? Just because I am able to perform lightning attacks? Well, I guess I'm doing Thor's job since he's not around in this era and time, not that he was real or not. Oh well, let's get this over with...sorry to do this to you. But, as my orders are, I have to.
