death benefit

A star-studded funeral where celebrities perform for a crowd of dignitaries for the benefit of the deceased’s family and their own careers. Began with the death of Michael Jackson and was cemented into the modern vernacular with the passing of Whitney Houston.

“Whitney's death benefit was much sicker than MJ's."

dread poet's voice

A rhythmic style of reading poetry, akin to beging on a boat in choppy seas. The reader's voice goes up and down, up and down, and the words of the peom are lost in the waves of pulsating intonation.

I should have taken Dramamine to offset her dread poet's voice.
