Detournement 

A term coined by Guy Debord and the Situationist International (SI) movement of the 1960's, Detournement is usually translated into English as ‘diversion’ and was the method of artistic creation used by the situationists. It was, in effect, plagiarism where both the source and the meaning of the original work was subverted to create a new work. In the SI’s own words "there is no Situationist art, only Situationist uses of art." Detournement is distinct from ‘theft’ plagiarism, which only subverts the source of the material and post-modern ‘ironic quotation’ plagiarism which only subverts the meaning of the material, the source becoming the meaning. The SI used detournement in films, art, graphics for their journal and in posters that detourned comics during the events of the Paris uprising of May ’68. Many Situationist ideas became 'popularised' further through the British Punk Rock explosion of the 1970's. As a movement it cast a lengthy shadow over subsequent developments in music, inspiring furious unresolved debates among hapless commentators over it's real legacy.
Detournement can be witnessed first hand on fortnightly Saturdays at The Joint, West Street, Brighton, UK. 10pm-2am. Inept smart-arse DJs play any record alluding to a Punk Rock aesthetic or vague notions of 'Outsider' chic.

Detour Ahead 

A pretty kickass band from Michigan that's just starting to get exposure...... apparently they're going to begin recording a new album soon. It's like a mix between Black Sabbath, AC/DC and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
i saw Detour Ahead at their show on the 4th of July....

San Francisco Detour 

A sexual act in which a male places his penis head against either nostril of his partner just prior to ejaculation. Once ejaculation is imminent, the male exhorts, "I'm going to cum!". The 'detouree' then takes a deep breath through the nostrils, forcing the seminal fluid into the stomach by way of the nose--rather than the mouth--as is typically expected.

Note: If two men ejaculate in either nostril of the 'detouree', this is referred to simply as: A double detour.
"I'm sick and tired of having my genetic fluid travel down the same ol' street. This time it's going for a detour. A San Francisco Detour."
