Umperb
A superlative of the highest order and magnitute.
It has its root in the word Superb.
The word was first said by Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat on the N64. The character was supposed to cry "Superb!" in response to a particularly tasty uppercut, but due to a freak alginment of the planets and a mystical symbol drawn in the dust of the N64 console, he actually uttered the cry "UMPERB!".
Others theorise that the anomaly was created through poor rendering provided by the N64's sound chip, but no-one can be sure.

Umphrey's McGee
The best band you've never heard of. Are hardly a "jam band" because they put every other band in the field to shame with their ridiculous musicianship. Consists of six accomplished musicians, half of which have college degrees in music. Songs are a mixture of technical, tightly composed music (featuring odd time signatures, unexpected key changes, and brilliant melodies), excellent lyricism, and UM's hilarious sense of humor, puncutated by the amazing guitar playing of Brendan Bayliss and Jake Cinninger and drumming of Kris Myers. Definitely music for musicians, but can be enjoyed by all.
Too bad bands like Umphrey's McGee, Medeski Martin and Wood, and Bela Fleck are lumped into the jam band genre.
