finger picking

Finger picking is a technique that can be used when playing the gutiar. Instead of using a guitar pick, you use your fingers to pluck the strings.


..and if you understand some music terminology:
As there is only a treble cleff for guitar notation UNLESS it is a bass guitar, when using the finger picking technique you can 'imitate' bass AND treble because you can pluck more than one string at a time. You can then play a song with rhythm and melody, as opposed to what you would usually be restricted to playing with a regular guitar pick (chords, and solos).

Cherry picker

A person who scores the goal after all the hard work has been done by others.

It is not necessarily a bad thing to be a cherry picker, as often, the person who does do the hard work is unable to finish the job himself.
Person 1: Sigh, stupid number 11 is such a cherry picker.
Person 2: Yes, but you can expect, number 23 to get the ball past 3 defenders and the goalie...

The phrase is constructed from the popular modern card game "bullshit" in which when those that lie about the cards they put down and are caught are forced to pick up the cards in the pile. devo
Guy 1: "So then I was just in this Bottle-o and this chick asked me for a root and I was like 'yiew'"
