acid

A style of techno/house music, noted for its prominent use of the of the Roland TB-303, a synthesizer with a distinctive (and very funky) sound. Variants include hard acid, acid house, acid trance, etc. Not all music that includes a 303 is necessarily acid, and not all acid music makes use of the 303 (but most of it does).

Some suggest that the word is derived from the phrase "acid burn" - a slang term from the early days of house music, referring to the practice of sampling from another musician's records (see bite).

Others cite a 1985 house single by Phuture called "Acid Trax", which is recognized as one of the first house records to make use of the 303.

A more concrete theory is that it refers to the drug LSD, which is commonly used at raves where acid house is played. Given the psychedelic nature of acid house, this interpretation is certainly part of the popular understanding of the term, if not necessarily its historic origins.

Drum & bass is okay, but what I really want to hear is some nice tweaky acid.

breve

A latte made with half-and-half instead of milk. Artery-clogging, but delicious.

There's nothing like a hot breve on a crisp fall day.

squad

Crew, posse, gang: an informal group of individuals with a common identity and a sense of solidarity. The term is a bit flashy and is more likely to be heard in hip-hop lyrics than in spoken conversation.

You step to me, and my whole squad will come down on you.

cookie-cutter

Marked by sameness and a lack of originality; mass-produced. Often used to describe suburban housing developments where all of the houses are based on the same blueprints and are differentiated only by their color.

I wouldn't live in one of those ugly cookie-cutter houses for a million dollars.

triple dub

The World Wide Web. Derived from the acronym WWW. The term is mildly ironic, since it uses the cadence of gangsta slang to refer to something decidedly un-gangsta.

You can download our MP3s from the triple dub.

stupicide

The act of killing someone who is intolerably stupid. Alternately: the act of killing someone by subjecting them to overwhelming amounts of idiocy.

I'm going to have to commit stupicide if this guy doesn't shut up.

The guy found dead while watching "The Fast & The Furious" was clearly a victim of stupicide.
