Contrabass Clarinet

A rather large member of the clarinet family, the Contrabass Clarinet is in the key of B-flat, and is one octave below the bass clarinet, which in turn is one octave lower than the regular B-flat clarinet.
There are two types of Contrabass Clarinet- the Straight Contra and the Curved Contra. Curved Contrabasses are approximately two and a half feet long and doubles back on it self three, or sometimes four times. The straight contrabass clarinet does not double back on itself, and as a result is well over five feet in length.

The contrabass clarinet is not often used, as it is a rather rare instrument, but when it is used, it usually doubles with the Contrabassoon, or the regular Bassoon.

Spousal Contact-Capacity Overload

That point in time when any additional spousal exposure is no longer endearing; becoming progressively more annoying, irritating and even infuriating depending on how divergent the personalities have evolved.
Funny, they both have similar objectives. He's tryin' to help people using logic, reason and the application of proven methodology and she's facilitating a social well-being platform based on metaphysics, spirituality and faith claims. I wonder how long it will take for 'em to reach Spousal Contact-Capacity Overload?

double contraction

A unique weapon of grammar combining words in a fashion similar to a contraction, but with three words and two apostrophes instead of two and one, respectively. Usually used by people who are too important to speak with any normal regard for english.
