smokescreen

to try to justify criminal actions if the defendant had a rough childhood

Everyone in the Casey Anthony murder trial forgot to use the sexual abuse smokescreen that her defense brought up, and that's why she was acquitted of murder.

the Strokes

Five kids from NYC who have nothing to say.

"Look at the Strokes, their haircuts are so cute".

"Let's form a band like the Strokes. We can wear timeless vintage threads, sing like Iggy Pop, and date supermodels".

Smokes

A word to describe African American people, usually used by the Italians. This is not a diragatory term.

Hey so look it's a bunch a smokes, they don't belong here, they belong in the slums

stoke job

Similar in appearance to the douch bag. The stroke job can easily be spotted at the bar wearing his express for men dress shirt with a neck tie at 10:30 pm. Exercise caution when approaching the stoke job, although he will tell you he is in "sales" what he means is, "I sell airtime at verizon wireless on commission."

"Check out the Gordon Geko wanna be at the bar."

"No shit. Nice tie stroke job!"

"Also dude, I think those rimless sunglasses might be for women."

"Why do you say that?"

"They have heart shaped lenses."

The Strokes

An overpriviledged Manhattanite band that, despite constantly being held by clueless critics as the epitome of garage rock, have very little to do with the genre. Much more in common with the brit-pop blended version of rock like that of The Killers than the truely raw and soulful sounds of The Gories or The Stooges. For real garage, see: The Demolition Doll Rods, The Makers, the older music of The Von Bondies, and yes, The White Stripes.

Those iTunes critics even liken The Libertines to The Strokes - come on now!!!
