"Wow she's totally obo," Carley commented to her friend of a chunky girl in the ice cream parlor, scarfing down a giant sundae like she'd never seen food.

Essentially it means oboe of love in Italian. In the double reed family along with the oboe, the english horn, bassoon etc, the oboe d'amore is an unusual but goreous instrument. It has a slightly more tranquil tone and it's bell is shaped like an apple. It is in the key of A whereas oboe is in C and english horn is in F.
After waning popularity in the late 18th century, the oboe d'amore fell into disuse for about 100 years until composers such as Richard Strauss (for example in the Symphonia Domestica where the instrument represents the child), Claude Debussy (for example in Gigues, where the oboe d'amore has a long solo passage), Maurice Ravel, Frederick Delius, and others began using it once again at the end of the 19th century. It can be heard in Toru Takemitsu's "Vers, L'Arc-en-Ciel, Palma," but its most famous modern usage is, perhaps, in "Boléro" by Maurice Ravel where the oboe d'amore follows the E-flat Clarinet to recommence the main theme for the second time around. American composer William Perry uses the oboe d'amore in his film scores and most recently in the third movement of his Jamestown Concerto for Cello and Orchestra (2007).

Slippery Oboe – River Style
The maiden voyage of the “Slippery Oboe” was first weathered in July 1975 on the North Branch of the Manistee River in Michigan. In actuality the Oboe is a long musical instrument but in this application it’s substituted with another obvious long instrument. Next a truck inner tube is used as a floatation device for river tubing. Two riders male and felmale position themselves on a large tube, male first straddles the tube bottom down and female in his lap. On a secluded section of the river the maestro (male) uncases his “Oboe” from the side of his swim trunks for some quality playing time. The Slippery (wet) Oboe is then plugged into the conductor’s (female) orchestra chamber from behind while she is positioned on his lap. The tubers then carefully balance themselves back onto the tube and begin to float. The male then takes responsibility for guiding the tube and providing the desired timbre (motion) – the female then enjoys the large range of timbre and dynamic range of notes of the free floating ride of estacy.

Maynard talked Julie into a “Slippery Oboe” duet while tubing on the Manistee.
Mike and Kathy were please with the erotica of floating on their tube and subtlety working their steamy version of the “Slipper Oboe” and the floating climatic crechendo at band camp!

Funny. Can either be super social or doesn’t talk at all. Extremely patient and hard working. Usually pretty smart. Some of the best friends you can get because of how dedicated they are. They are extremely nice and will make you laugh. Can be annoying but it’s only because they have a lot to say and do. MULTITASKING MOTHERFUCKING QUEENS. You try reading music, trying to figure out alternate fingerings, reading music, playing the actual piece, working with their reeds, and keeping tempo. They can keep it together. They have to be really good otherwise they will get made fun of.

Another name for the penis. Made famous by the late Peter Cook's 'Here Comes the Judge' speech.
Also a name given to the public houses and bars frequented by gay clientele.

Horace said to Walter, 'I would like to suck on your pink oboe'.
Walter suggested they both go to the pink oboe for a Campari and soda.

Argueably one of the most bizzarre species of band geek. These people's brains are compromised by immese amounts of pressure building up in their heads as they work to push a ton of air through that tiny little reed. Their approximate male to female ratio is 1:3. They do not get much drama in their section which can probably be attributed to their small numbers and tendancy not to care very much about anything but their reeds. Oh yeah, harm an oboe reed or threaten to, and they will freak out on you. Contrary to popular belief, the oboe is not used often for masturbation (not only do the players not tend to be very pervy, but it's just too small!) Oboe players can usually play at least one other instrument too. Thus, they are bisectional.
