Recalibration

A recalibration is when any given relationship, romantic or not, needs a little kick start or has gotten stale. It needs a reset or refresh button, what it needs is a recalibration!

GUSton and I were in a bit of a rut last month but instead of breaking up we decided to getaway for a weekend to have a recalibration, now we couldn't be better!

percussion recalibration

A witty, but accurate term for the act of hitting, dropping, or kicking something to make it work like it was just a second ago.

Person 1: "Why are you hitting your TV like that?"

*Signal clears up*

Person 2: "Percussion recalibration. I hit it, and now it works again."
