subcountry 

A category of people who live in the township of a rural area. They are not the people who own land or farm animals but are also not "urban" people. City dwellers would tell them they are country but they are not country.

subcontrabass tuba

A beast of an instrument. Few of these exist in the world and they mostly exist in either museums or private collections. They can easily weigh hundreds of pounds and would not be very easy to transport. They are usually in the key of 32-foot C (C 1 or CCC) or 36-foot B-flat (B-flat 0 or BBB-flat) note A and produce a powerful sound that requires a strong set of lungs. Some forms of subcontrabass tubas require two players (one for the valves, the other for blowing into the mouthpiece). Some forms have functional valves, while others don't. note B

Note A: Adolphe Sax made a 52-foot E-flat (E-flat 0 or EEE-flat) and exhibited it in 1851 in London, and in 1867 in Paris.
Note B: Some subcontrabass tubas may look like they have valves, but these are only done as an artistic choice rather than being usable.
1. One of the most famous examples of a subcontrabass tuba is the Big Carl. The Big Carl is owned by Carl Fischer Music and occasionally makes an appearance on YouTube.
2. Another example of a subcontrabass tuba is the Riesentuba. The Riesentuba is German for "giant tuba", referring to its massive size. It was used to get the fastest Flight of the Bumblebee record several times.
3. The 52-foot E-flat subcontrabass tuba made by Adolphe Sax has been missing for a very long time. It is unknown if this subcontrabass tuba will be seen again.

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
