Mr Google let me down. Your "fade" came from?

I coined the phrase. Straight out of my head. To me, it is applicable when people write things like "The guitar just does not look right with a black switch tip. Its gotta be cream!" or "I really like the old logos so much better" or "I never like more then 3 coats of poly on my Strat. Any more and you just deaden the tone". I may also apply it to such popular phrases as "scatter wound" and "rough cut magnet".

Got it! Good idea to coin a phrase and see if it takes off.
An old word I like to use is "inculcate". "Verb, instil (an idea, attitude, or habit) by persistent instruction".
So far I haven't noticed any friends using it but when one does I'll feel made up. :)

I am enjoying the fact that no-one has to say "I know it's not a BBBBB, but I just bought/played/saw/etc. CCCCC Guitar"

Freedom!
 
Here are a few that I use regularly:

Disastrophe - Worse than either of the 2.
Twangled - When you totally blow a riff or a chord, as in "My fingers got all twangled."
Fooeypoop - A PG rated curseword, (can be used in front of children if you must curse).
Frenobulated - Extremely flustered, but in a funny way, reduced to sputtering and waving your hands around.
(Jackie Gleason did it well when playing Ralph on the Honeymooners.)

I will be using more than 1 of those!
 
I guess it would depend on the activities at hand while wearing said headphones.

Encrapsulated - Extremely grimy,greasy, road grime, etc., caked with dirt, dust and/or dog hair, icky household, or plumbing situations, etc.

Funkatated - Encrapsulated but with funk of animal or human origin, like icky uncared for fretboards.

So anyway, we ordered an inversion table thingy from Amazon for $85. I tried said same thingy at my B-I-L house Christmas Eve and felt the decompression would very likely help the back pain both my wife and myself suffer all too often.

It immediately occurred to me it could also be used as a sexual trapeze type apparatus.
However, it is only rated for 300lbs and I take up a bit more than 66.66667% of that capacity.

We shall see. Mostly about whether it helps with the back pain.
Mostly.
 
Mine:

Fiddle-Farting. A reference to time-wasting or pointless activity. Example: "Stop fiddle-farting around and get some work done."

Crap in a bucket. A type of soft expletive. Example: "Crap in a bucket! I bought the wrong guitar strings...AGAIN!"

Booger-eaters. A reference to out-of-touch people, usually in a management position, who do not understand the needs or requirements of field-level personnel or of a customer base. Example: "Why do the booger-eaters at (insert name of guitar builder, here) keep making some of these dumb design decisions?"

Cubicle Jockey. A person whose employment involves working mostly, if not entirely, in a cubicle. Example: "Smitty doesn't do much work in the field, anymore. He's pretty much just a cubicle jockey." Wait...wuh?

This isn't mine, but I use it:

Keyboard commando. A person who has little, if any, real authority, but who sends emails in a company that sound intimidating and assertive. This individual usually CC:s senior management in emails to increase his self-perceived sense of importance. Example: "Don't worry about Scooter in accounting. He thinks he's important, but he's just a keyboard commando."

So anyway, my wife finally got a full time job 3yrs after finishing tech school for dialysis technician.
She has been in the training phase the past 10 weeks. It has been tough and she almost quit; but she passed the competency exam and is doing ok.

It wont be a step up because things have been a bit worse every year since 2007, but the bills will be paid and I will sleep better.

I still managed to buy some cheap guitars and gear over the last 2 years, but hanging credit balances are not good.
 
Ouate de phoque, phonetic French for WTF.
Direct translation doesn't mean a thing, but since like any culture on the planet except maybe for the Zulus, we use the 4 letter word, it is funny. So translation would be "seal's cotton wool"
