red rug

What the famous red carpet actually is -- a rug rather than a carpet.

A carpet, by definition, is a permanent cloth floor covering; while a rug is a temporary floor covering which can be removed & replaced whenever desired.

So when they're "rolling out the red carpet" for the Oscars, they're actually rolling out the red rug because it is rolled back up & removed when the awards ceremony has finished.

The “Little Women” director and Baumbach, her partner — and the director of “Marriage Story” — arrived on the Oscars red rug with a whopping 12 nominations between them.

synthetic pan flute

The sound of a pan flute being played, but generated solely by synthesizer hardware or computer software synthesis.

No real pan flutes are folded, spindled, or mutilated when synthetic pan flutes are employed.

Hey Dan, you've got to download the Commodore Amiga demo, "Hardwired" by the Amiga demo groups Crionics and the Silents! Its zax has a synthetic pan flute you've just GOT to hear!!!

dustcart

UK slang term for a garbage truck..

{From a BBS about scooters and electric wheelchairs}:

Just making my daily check-in from Juneau AK. USA...my people (who live in Nicaragua) we have but one bunghole...er...uh...I mean, "I only have a sodding singular update to my website today...it is an update to my Foto(s) del Día" web page with...well, what else could it be? An old mattress with urine & spooge (piss & sperm) stains and with multiple razor-sharp springs sticking out of it set out with the garbage in the owner's hopes that the dustcart would pick it up? NO YOU SILLY GOOSE!!! IT'S A NEW PICTURE!!!
