Dick beat

A perjorative term used by "in-the-know" rhythm section members to describe endless blues jams of the kind typically put forth by middle-aged white guys.

Originated in Syracuse, N.Y. (the self-proclaimed "blues belt" of Central New York) circa 1995, possibly following a mind-numbing set of medium-tempo shuffles at the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que.

"How'd that gig at Dinosaur go?"

"Three sets of dick beat, man."
