Corporate Rock

the kind of music that is played in the elevators of the places of employment for the 1% ers.

Me in Elevator : Say, what's that sound ? A really bad cover of something by Journey, REO Speedwagon, or Styx maybe ?Friend Next To Me : Could be all of the above. It's elevator muzak, man. Y'know - corporate rock.

Corporate Rock

Corporate rock is rock music that fails critically but succeeds commerically. Corporate rock is typically appropriate for all listeners, lacks creativity or invention, and establishes broad appeal as a result of heavy marketing and media saturation.

"I have to illegally download my music because I can't stand all the corporate rock on the radio."

Corporate Rock

Often called "generic" by critics ( a.k.a. talentless attention whores that worship Nirvana ). In contrast with Nirvana (overrated band), it contains catchy tune which causes subliminal indulgence and direct to point message rather than overwritten lyrics (more like poems really), screams/whines/squeals and crappy musical accompaniment.

If you're a magazine editor promote "grunge" for marketing purposes. If you're a producer promote "corporate rock" for marketing purposes.

Corporate rock

When a company hires musicians to make rock and roll.
The rock typically sounds like something you'd hear in a 2000s teen's movie or a commercial.

Guy 2 "Yeah, it sounded like Corporate rock, I swore I also heard in some shitty teen's movie"

Fleg

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.

"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

Skeef

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.

"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."
