Balearic

The word Balearic in its most most simple terms means "of or having to do with the Balearic Islands" which are a group of small islands in the Western Mediterranean near the coast of Spain.

More specifically however, the term Balearic (or "Balearic Beat") has come to mean a genre of music which became popular on the islands of the same name, specifically the Balearic Island of Ibiza.

The Balearic genre is broad and almost means "eclectic" more than any specific style of sound. Generally, it tends towards sunny, melodic, "feel-good" electronic music, as it's birthplace was on the warm sunny beaches of the islands. This may encompass atmospheric house, downtempo, chillout, nu-disco, latin,soul, dub, and re-edits.

As mentioned before, the genre is about being eclectic, so a Balearic Beat DJ will often flow through many different sounds inside a single set. In fact, "Balearic" might be better thought of as a style of DJ'ing rather than a style of music. Still, the flavor always comes back to that sunny island feel and often incorporates smooth soul sounds, acoustic strings and guitar, dreamy vocals, and tempos under 120 BPM.
I was loving the Balearic set that DJ was playing last night during sunset!

stone cold nuts

The absolute best possible hand in a game of poker which is using community cards. (Texas Holdem and Omaha most often) If you hold the "stone cold nuts" there is no way anyone can beat you in that hand. This is slightly different from just "nuts" because sometimes it is said you have a nut hand but there is a slim possibility someone could have a better hand. For example: An ace-high flush is often referred to as the "Nut Flush" since its the highest possible flush. But if the board is laid out correctly, somebody could possibly have a straight-flush, giving them the stone-cold nuts.

Lets say you are holding a pair of pocket 5's in a game of Texas Holdem. Your opponent has J-10. The flop comes Q-K-A all of different suits. Your opponent has flopped "The Nuts" Assuming you are crazy enough to continue with this hand, if the next two cards come 5-5, you would then have the "stone cold nuts" (4 of a kind) HOWEVER, if the flop was Q-K-A suited, even your 4 of a kind would not be the stone cold nuts, because you opponent could possibly have a Royal Flush. A Royal Flush, of course, is the stone cold nuts in ANY situation.
When I picked up that 4 of a kind, I knew I had the stone cold nuts, so I moved all-in on him.
