A covert & ingenious way to label the Sousaphone player of a marching-band as a loser, by pretending to accidentally mispronounce the ridiculous instrument he has to carry.
Marching-band spectator #1: “Oh, god, here they come.”
Marching-band spectator #2: “Drummers #killingit, cheerleaders #SoHot. Who’s that on Loserphone, sorry, I mean Sousaphone?”
Marching-band spectator #1: “Nick.”
Marching-band spectator #2: “Figures.”
(Australian) A percussive instrument; an upright pole upon which are screwed/nailed beer bottle tops. The sound is produced by hitting the instrument on the floor - often at the same time as it is struck at the mid section with a with a solid piece of wood.
The produced sound is similar to a bass drum (when hit on a raised timber floor, typically that of a pub) combined with a tambourine.
That bloke's too pissed to man the lagerphone, he can't even hear the beat anymore!
