The Decemberists

The most excellent historical/literary indie rock/pop band that ever hit the airwaves. Led by frontman Colin Meloy, they constantly deliver songs that take us to worlds long gone to the sound of witty lyrics and perhaps a bit of polka or metal to back it up.

Ignorant Non-Creative Guy: What're you listening to?

Me: The Tain, by The Decemberists

Ignorant Non-Creative Guy: What the hell's that? All I know is that no one around me listens to it, so I shouldn't either. Everyone knows that musical taste isn't what you think sounds good, it's what other people tell me SHOULD sound good.

Me: **slaps forehead** Well then I'm telling you that it sound good and you should listen to it. In fact you WILL listen to it, or I WILL shove your #$@!ing damned Green Day®™© CD up your little ultra-conformist ass.

The Decemberists

A band with a cult following. Members torture their friends by insisting that it is the greatest music ever. This is not true. It's not musically interesting and does not rock at all.

Cultist: "The Decemberists are awsome! This is the greatest song ever! Just listen to the lyrics!"
Friend: "This sucks my ass!"

The Decemberists

A fairly unheard of band. They include an 'Anti-War' message in most of their songs and put a touch of Ska lyrics into their usually Indie Style music. They are a fairly good band, but the lyrics anger many people.

Hey did you hear that new song by The Decemberists? It seemed to really highlight anti-war messages. I don't really like them.

schmegegge 

Yiddish slang word meaning bullshit, baloney, hogwash, nonsense, crock of shit or hot air.

I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.
His version of the story was pure schmegegge.
The whole schmegegge was made up to get Liz a little bit of attention.

eye bleach 

Looking or experiencing something nice after witnessing something horrid like a disgusting gif or a disturbing video. Typically used as eye bleach are nice images of whatever makes the disturbed person happy.

"Bleach my eyes! Why is that woman's face ripped off!?"
*Looks up images of puppies and kittens.*
"That's good eye bleach."

Stroad

Noun. Portmanteau of "street" and "road": it describes a street, er, road, built for high speed, but with multiple access points. Excessive width is a common feature. A common feature in suburbia, especially along commercial strips. Unsafe at any speed, their extreme width and straightness paradoxically induces speeding. Somewhat more neutral than synonymous traffic sewer.

Did you see what the traffic engineers want to do to our street? They're going to turn it into a total stroad!
