The Lumineers 

ANOTHER indie pop rock band. Mainstream hipsters like them. Overplayed on every Alternative radio station in the US. You will not be listening to them 5 years from now. They aren't the worst band of all time, but they are definitely nothing more than mediocre.
First time i heard "Ho Hey" by The Lumineers on the radio, i said, "wow i bet these guys wear stupid little hipster hats" NAILED IT.

The Lumineers 

Amazing american band. (Indie Folk / Folk Rock)
Composed by Wesley Schultz (lead vocals, guitar), Jeremiah Fraites (drums, percussion) and Neyla Pekarek (cello), the three of them astonishing artists, musicians, singers & composers.

Their songs have meaningful lyrics, with profound themes about life (& death), love, hopes and regrets, and many others.

Most of people tend to only know the hit "Ho Hey" but they should definitely take a look at all the other songs of the band & mostly at the stories their songs tell.

Among the best songs by The Lumineers, we find: 'Stubborn Love', 'Dead Sea', 'Ophelia', 'Angela', 'Cleopatra' and 'Sleep on the Floor' (the clips of those 3 last songs tell the story of the same woman, and it's amazing)

Few people knows that they actually composed the song 'Hanging Tree' for the movie Hunger Games.
- Did you go the concert of the Lumineers yesterday?
- Yes, and that was awesome. Their voices are as great in real life as in the studio versions, and they do everything by themselves! What great musicians!

Luminert Scale 

The scale that can be used for giving scores to basically everything, from TV- shows to level of comedy. Most of the things on the luminert scale are ranked with a high, if not the highest score - 10/10. The way of selecting the fitting score is simple: you just have to determen if one part of your category has some kind of value, and you don't have to worry about the rest. If that is true, your "thing" is a perfect 10/10, and if not, then you would give it a 9/10. Scores lower than 9 are non-existent.
Darijan: "Kakegurui was an awful show, but it had great art so it must be a 10/10 on the luminert scale!"
Your mom lol: "Yes, Demon Slayer as well!"

A person, musician or band that repeats the same awful line over and over.
"I belong with you, you belong with me you're my sweetheart, I belong with you, you belong with me you're my sweetheart, Hey, Ho, Hey, Ho." - The Lumineers

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
