4'33''

A musical work composed by American experimental composer John Cage in 1952. Made up of 3 movements, it is comprised solely of four minutes and 33 seconds of silence. However in performance, the work is supposed to capture unintentional sounds such as audience whispers, coughs etc. It challenges the very definition of music.

Pretentious people claim to like it.
Art student: John Cage's 4'33'' is so compelling and thought provoking. It makes those students at the conservatorium look like a bunch of show-offs. They just don't appreciate the sound of silence.

Sane man: You're a twat.

66/33

In a living arrangement that contains 3 lease holders in one household, it is predetermined that power is distributed equally into 33% per person. 66/33 is when two of the roommates start to date and their decision making process becomes parallel, making the power distribution 66% to 33%. This makes the third wheel in the household unable to win any argument against the couple. A 66/33 often results in the third party moving out, or being kicked out of said living arrangement due to being outnumbered.
Person 1: "Yeah, I just moved out of my apartment the other day."

Person 2: "Why is that?"

Person 1: "66/33, she was sleeping with my other roommate and they wanted it to be a 'couples' household."
