The official term used to label anything that is swept into a pile of trash with the use of a broom.

The size of individual pieces inside the pile as a whole does not matter unless that piece is removed from the pile. In this case that piece of sweeping is no longer regarded as a sweeping but simply as trash or whatever wierd use a person could have for something that has been in a pile of sweepings.
I had the biggest pile of sweepings I'd seen in a long time swept together when I was cleaning my kitchen last night. Then my dog came in and picked out a large piece which then appeared to be half of a trashy Home Gardening Magazine. What he did with it I'll never know.

a shitty soloing technique where the only talent you need is speed. nobody gives a shit that you can play arpeggios fast. real talent would be making a selection of that arpeggio and play it in a certain order not up and down it. used in metal alot because metal is a shitty excuse for music where the only chords you need to know is D,E,F and G and be able to do sweeps. you need to musical knowledge whatsoever except the arpeggios. used in conforming metal bands or shitty metal bands unlike incredibly bands such as Tool. One could easily find technical intriguing and interesting music in basically any other genre but metal is the 2nd most conforming type of music besides pop/alternative.
fag metal kid: check my out im playing sweeps! fuck you music i will repeat arpeggios over and over and pretend like i have talent
me:well thats awesome know will you play those in 11/8 time and actually play outside your chord and explore your fretboard in a different way than arpeggios thankyou.
