i swiped this off of craigslist here in OH from the musical instruments section....

Craigslist Dictionary
Here’s what I fondly refer to as the Craigslist dictionary. These are terms you normally see to describe gear, and their actual meanings.

• Played once then stored: I hated this thing so much I put it away as soon as possible.
• Minty: Broken.
• Mint: Broken.
• 9.9/10: eh…decent.
• 9.8/10: It’s seen better days.
• 9.7/10: It was dragged behind a car for 500 miles.
• Vintage: Old and crappy.
• New tubes: I cleaned them with Windex.
• Need this gone: I stole it.
• Just intonated: I saw this word online and wanted to use it.
• Professionally setup: I just tuned it
• Looks great under stage lights: Needs the lights turned off to appreciate the looks
• Has some fretwear: The frets look like two W’s side by side
• Needs work: Good luck!
• I got this in a trade: I was drunk and blacked out, woke up with this.
• New drumheads: I painted them white so you can’t tell.
• One of a kind: The builder learned from their mistake.
• Rare: Most of these broke right out of the box.
• PRICE FIRM: I’ll relist in 3 days with a lower price, be patient.
• Cool gear, not my style: I was smoking a lot of pot…did some soul searching…wore one change of clothes for weeks…bought stuff I didn’t want. Sobered up, clearing out gear.
• Conversation piece: Unplayable
• This amp screams!: I wish the treble knob wasn’t broken off at 10.
• Plays like butter: I put butter on the strings.
• My band just broke up: Please see my other listings for leather pants and chain necklaces.
• Great for metal: Cover up the tone with as much distortion as you can.

Beer is not simply a means of drunkenness nor is it merely a lubricant to grease the skids to sin. Beer, well respected and rightly consumed, can be a gift of God. It is one of his mysteries, which it was his delight to conceal and the glory of kings to search out. And men enjoy it to mark their days and celebrate moments and stand with their brothers in the face of what life brings - Stephen Mansfield, The search for God and Guinness

If ugliness was a crime, you'd get the electric chair.

You're so ugly, when you stuck your head out the car window, you got arrested for mooning!
