Their instrumentals rock - but i am getting a real asecular vibe from the vocals!
We could watch Faux News and count the times they try to seem asecular!
I can't believe how brazenly asecular she is turning out to be!

Noun: Mainly used to designate a loudmouth punk in any kind of audience. Usually drunk, almost inevitable at comedy clubs. Stand-up comics \ comedians \ and other performers generally hate when they happen --- although they can be viciously eviscerated with fast, ready wit. When a comic shuts a heckler down quickly, the comic's status goes WAY up, fast. If they flail and fail against them, it can end the set.
Verb: heckle To loudly interrupt a performance with insults, or just incoherent babbling.
Related words\phrases: Heckler's veto -- Heckler's suppression -- AutoHeckler
In social media and other forums of expression - the anticipated 'flame war' or flood of extra negative comments can prevent a person from sharing something they wish to share. That is a Heckler's Suppression.

Louis CK shut the heckler down slowly. Clearly enjoying the chance to unload the kind of insults that would make Don Rickles vomit and run away. He took her to pieces. It was a thing of inestimable beauty. A master class of shutting a drunk punk way, way down, and keeping the audience increasingly entertained. These smashed amateurs need to stay away, but it is great when you get to watch them get belittled into a tiny wad of insignificance that the rest of the set blows far away.
Michael Richards admitted that his response to the disruptive heckler was way over the line.

A complex portmanteau word. "Exactly" + "Accurately" = "Exactulately". Not just exact, not just accurate - but both.
Possibly (er, exactulately) derived from a brief verbal stumble in a youtube video on the Tested Channel about "Inside Adam Savage's Cave: Model Making for Movies".

That is exactulately the situation we face, no one could have said it better.
Exactulately what do you mean?

Oh, he's so adogmatic that he refuses to join our crusade against the heretics that use the words "debt" and "debtors" in The Lord's Prayer!!!
Please understand, I am adogmatic. I don't care about virgin births, throwing salt over a shoulder, or who was "daddy's favourite" hundreds of years ago! Can we discuss things that matter - and can be defined - in a sensible manner? ... Didn't think so. Peace. *walks away sadly*

(also spelled "insignifiCUNT") - a person that is too worthless for any other adjective. Please note: gender unrelated! Rush Limbaugh is at least as worthy a poster-child as Ann Coulter or the moronic 26 year old meth-freak that burned down the 5th oldest tree on the planet.
(sung to the tune of a Warner Brothers + Sisters theme)
You're an insignifiCUNT!
I should kick you in your FRONT!
You're a big, fat, stupid stoop -
and, you prematurely droop -
You're an in•sig•ni•fi•CUNT!
