An instrumental version of a reggae song often dubbed onto the B-side of a single. Sometimes DJs would rap or "toast" over top of these versions. Through the studio manipulation and experimentation of such figures as King Tubby, Augustus Pablo and Lee "Scratch" Perry this practice grew into the reggae subgenre known as dub.
"King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown," producer Augustus Pablo's version of Jacob Miller's "Baby I Love You So," is far superior to the original.

Version 2.0

Term used in reference to George W Bush and upgraded (in this case downgraded) software.
New Version 2.0 Optimized will bring this country to debt faster, create less jobs for everyone, all while bathing himself in OIL. Version 2.0 can do more for you than ever before.
Ever thought about joining the military? Well you may not have a choice. You could be forced to fight his war even if you dont believe in what you are fighting for. This is all thanks to Version 2.0.
The first George Bush sucked!! Now we have to put up with the "new and improved" Version 2.0? This is bullshit!!! Im voting for Nader this Fall.

Wal-Mart Version 

Term used to describe an uglier doppelgänger.
Kayla: I'm tired of being mistaken for Snooki!
Mike: If it's any consolation, she's the Wal-Mart version of you...

Rose Art Version 

A cheaper, poor-quality copy of something better or more famous.

The term stems from the fact that, in grade school, most kids would have the pricier, top-quality Crayola Crayons, while the unfortunate few students would be stuck with the cheaper, crappy Rose Art Crayons which nobody wanted.
Hostess snacks are the Rose Art Version of Little Debbie snacks.

Gary Busey is the Rose Art Version of Nick Nolte.

Absolute soul-wrenching heartbreak from which there is no recovery.
