chiptune
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.

Chipunctinitis
A common workplace illness brought on by overwork and under appreciation by an over manipulative boss or supervisor usually afflicting common workers to mid-level managers while most upper level managers and executives seem to have be inoculated or are immune. Common symptoms are headaches, fever, hair graying, hair loss, gas, mild diarrhea, explosive diarrhea, eye problems and unusual heavy drinking of alcoholic beverages and in extreme cases drugs. Treatment options can range from 1-2 days of golf or other fun activity to vacation time somewhere tropical. Severe cases may require you to tell your boss to “take this job and shove it” much like the old overplayed Johnny Paycheck tune of the mid 1970’s. Most common industries where this occurs is in the plywood industry but in recent years has spread to other forms of manufacturing and middle management.
