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.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
