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.

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.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
