luaka bop 

To have sex with an ethnomusicologist, the kind of person (usually male) whose CD collection is filled with field recordings from Ghana, Brazil, etc. (and who studies the liner notes), and who enjoys attending lectures from visiting composers. The more exotic or arcane the music, the more he enjoys it.
Yeah, so I totally luaka bopped that sociology prof who hangs out at the food coop Saturday afternoons. Might not have been worth it, though. He made me listen to Tom Ze for like 2 hours before we did it.
