Neck of a guitar; Where the neck has been scalloped.
Usually found on Lutes. When the fret has been scalloped (grooved) from one fret wire to the other (through the whole neck).
Yngwie Malmsteen popularized this spec with his Signature Fender Start. The neck it self can cost up to $900.
If taken to a local shop can be done for around $300 on a stock neck.
Richie Blackmore also had a similar guitar.
It does not allow you to play faster (in fact its harder to play, and get used to) Although bending and vibratto is performed better. Once one learns to play well on a scalloped neck, a regular neck will be easier to play than before.
guitar player: "Dude i scalloped the neck of my guitar"
guitar teacher: "Wholy motherfucker! That is the coolest thing ever! Let me see it... OMG!"

You are sperm. Sperm is what fertilizes the egg, creating you. When people say this, they're saying your mother should have instead given head, and swallowed the sperm which was cummed in her mouth, instead of having regular sex, and having you. You are that sperm, so if she would have swallowed the sperm, she would have swallowed you. It's basically like saying your dad should have had sex with a condom...if someone tells you this, they're calling you a mistake, and looking down on you as a useless lifeform. It's actually a very clever line if used as an insult.
