Falsettos

An extremely funny musical with four (five) jews bitching in a room, a terrible psychiatrist, and seriously dysfunctional family relationships but oh no, people break up over chess, a kid hates his parents, racquetball happens, bar mitzvah shenanigans, oh and someone dies. And it will make you cry at some point; it's so good.
Did you see Falsettos? It's been revived on Broadway! Yeah, I was sobbing at the end

False Midas Effect

Maybe the idea was cool but after a while it became less about the individuals and more about a sub-clique within itself. That's where the fraying begins, and ends with a false Midas effect where everything touched seems golden but it is never tested to prove its legitimacy, just assumed from a self proclaimed credibility on the characteristics of the element without any more inspection than a glance of an eye, therefore failing to realize the lack in malleability and density of the object: the two most defining characteristics. A misunderstanding of the word "experienced" leads to an underdeveloped, misguided conclusion to the "careful observer's" obliviousness to the actual characteristics of plastic. Even the simplest of observers could make out the words, "Made in China", on the back, but a lack in perspective showed the masked issue at literal face value.

Falsettoland reprise

Remember that time when you couldn't stop crying? You felt as if your heart was ripped out of your chest and had smashed into a million pieces? That's what this song is. It will make you cry whether or not Marvin's crying soundtrack is even included or you see Jason place the chest piece on the grave.

reject false icons

A phrase pawned by the animated band Gorillaz a short time before the release of their second album, Demon Days. According to Guitarist Noodle, "Reject False Icons means many things. Think for yourself is one of them."

It is often preluded with the phrase "Respect false icons," the full phrase becoming "Respect false icons, reject false icons." A generally accepted idea is that the phrase was created to show that people should appreciate things such as music and the media, but not idolize them as they would God or religion.

Sadly, however, many Gorillaz fans have accepted the phrase as a use to describe any "posuer" artist or one they do not like as a false icon (I.E. Avril Lavigne, Hillary Duff, Eminem) and continue to worship Gorillaz, thus destroying the whole meaning of the phrase.

Ironically, these fans repeat the phrase mindlessly in a manner resembling that of the zombified heads in the Gorillaz website-exclusive "Rock it" video used to promote the Reject False Icons campaign.

Faisel Jaffer

A Toronto urban myth, supposedly a large half man half bear that breathes fire and has the ability to manipulate your mind in a way similar to large quantities of LSD. Supposedly has fought a pack of wolves, a tiger, a lion, and the three bears simultaneously. Also said to have survived being hit by a moving truck, the truck was destroyed, he didn't have a scratch.
I'm sick of hearing all these stupid exaggerated stories about "Faisel Jaffer" clearly he didn't do any of this stuff, and clearly hes not a real person
