Tunkhannock Tramp 

I met the slut in an internet chat room. After a few weeks, I hooked up with her in a hotel room in Wilkes-Barre. She couldn't get enough of my hose. She wanted it so much she left her kids and husband for it. What a Tunkhannock Tramp.

toneh is a measurement of anger about the absurdity in bokeh background blur used by youtubers and vlogers in order to create a so called 'cinematographic' look using a low aperture portrait photo lens on their cameras. The effect was first described by the youtuber Camera Conspiracies and refers to the aesthetics of the youtuber Tony Northrup, hence the name 'toneh'. In his satire response video Camera Conspiracies refers to a self filmed one man outdoor video monologue set to be at a lake - yet no lake nor landscape had been distinguishable in this video because Northrup shot the whole thing with a 1.2 aperture on a 50mm lens full frame equivalent. So the background was blur only hence the high degree of irritating toneh.
"I believe toneh to be a further reaching philosophical and artistic concept. It serves to illustrate the utmost isolation of the individual in modern society, where social media and big corporations act as catalyst of the obliteration of social communitarianism. In Tony’s famous toneh-construct establishing video, we clearly see a contemporary human making a desperate call for help, much like we already saw in other masterpieces such as ‘the scream’ by Edvard Munch or any of Edward Hopper’s works on the theme. Tony will pass to history as one of the seminal figures of american neo expresionism and philosophical solipsism. What a time to be alive!"

When the background is so out of focus in a photograph that you can't recognise it anymore.
Tony Northrup: Let's put that lens aperture to 1.2 and get my face real close to the camera.

turn on, tune in, drop out 

A term coined by Timothy Leary to describe the psychedelic experience. Leary explains it in his book Flashbacks as such

“Turn on’ meant go within to activate your neural and genetic equipment. Become sensitive to the many and various levels of consciousness and the specific triggers that engage them. Drugs were one way to accomplish this end. ‘Tune in’ meant interact harmoniously with the world around you – externalize, materialize, express your new internal perspectives. Drop out suggested an elective, selective, graceful process of detachment from involuntary or unconscious commitments. ‘Drop Out’ meant self-reliance, a discovery of one’s singularity, a commitment to mobility, choice, and change. Unhappily my explanations of this sequence of personal development were often misinterpreted to mean ‘Get stoned and abandon all constructive activity.”
"Like every great religion of the past we seek to find the divinity within and to express this revelation in a life of glorification and the worship of God. These ancient goals we define in the metaphor of the present — turn on, tune in, drop out." - Timothy Leary

Second Hand Tunes 

The audible pollution emanating from cheap, poorly fitted earbuds, such as the free buds doled out from Apple. Victims of second hand tunes are forced to listen to the distorted treble range of tunes typically in venues where quiet is the social norm (public transit, cafes, libraries).
When Ken and I took our seats on the train, we quickly realized we were the victims of second hand tunes pouring out of Tank's cranium.
