Share definition Flag
A type of music comprised of 8-bit music and sounds and sometimes modern day percussion, resembling old video games, and is always compiled in an extremely upbeat melody that makes you want to shoot rainbows out of your mouth.
John: Hey bro, I heard this one type of music on a music thread last night, but I don't know what it's called. You know it?

Brian: What did it sound like?

John: It sounded like it was from a really old video game. It sounded kind of 8-bit-ish and it was REALLY catchy and upbeat and it made me want to fly a super-sonic jet through mountains of icy fire and then make the jet transform into a space shuttle and rocket into space at the speed of light and then explode into a plethora of rainbows and anti-matter stars that would collide with other stars and teleport me to an infinite number of parallel universes.

Brian: Yeah you were listening to chiptune.

chimura 

Share definition Flag
noun: A chimura (English pronunciation /tʃɪməˈrə/) is a creature that inhabits naturally formed or artificially built caves, tunnels and chambers, located under metropolitan subways, undergrounds, tunnels etc. The biological origin of the specie is unknown, however there are rumors that it is the result of a genetic mutation caused by a chemical reaction from a mixture of extremely radioactive toxic waste and human excrement.

The chimura is purportedly a heavy creature, the size of a small chimp, has slightly extended hands and strongly lengthened fingers and nails. According to testimonies, this chemically induced biological creation, has a surprisingly similar behavior to that of homo-sapiens and does not display any signs of aggression. The majority of the eyewitness reports would describe an almost identical experience - the creature was attempting to trick the humans into giving it something - food, objects even money. Eventually, the given objects reappeared back after a while.
