venuti

venuti: any group of two or more upright bass players
I see a herd of sheep, a school of fish, and a venuti of bass players.

The word refers to the time that legendary jazz violinist (and infamous prankster) Joe Venuti had a laugh by calling every bass player in the book (in 1928 Los Angeles) and pretending he had a gig for them on New Years Eve (usually a lucrative pay day). When 38 upright bassists showed up toting their large and unwieldy instruments the intersection of Hollywood and Vine was a total madhouse… to Venuti’s great amusement. The prank became legendary eventually leading to the adoption of the word venuti in early 21st century bass circles online, in Austin, Texas, and spreading to other communities as well.

Venuti Spot

The best parking spot in an entire parking lot that is discovered to be free and then taken just as you pull into the lot. A parking spot can only be considered a "Venuti Spot" when one finds it immediately upon entering the lot; if one drives around a lot for some time the spot is not considered a Venuti Spot, as time and effort were wasted looking for it. Upon pulling into the spot, one exclaims, "Venuti Spot!"
"I can't believe we came to the mall on December 24th. Wait - look - Venuti Spot!"
