The 20th matchbox. Anyone who uses a lot of matchboxes will know that it is vital to number every single one. The 20th matchbox, though the same as all the others, is still a matchbox worth having it's own definition on the urban dictionary. Contrary to popular beleif there is absolutely no relation between the phrase matchbox 20 and the recording artists Rob Thomas, Kyle Cook and others.

An orgy with 10 guys and 1 chick, and while the guys are doing her, they run matchbox cars all over her body.

A band that defined the generic sound of Contemporary Adult Pop music in the nineties. Tends towards simple melodies with a focus on the lead singer's voice.
