A 'tritone' is the name for the musical interval between two pitches an augmented 4th/Diminshed 5th apart. The term 'tritone' comes from the fact that the interval between the two pitches is a full three "whole tones" apart. The use of the tritone is common in classical music where the V-I resolution is present, as well as in Jazz and Rock whenever a piece or section is in the lydian mode. The interval has a very unstable characterisic and was even known as the 'devil's interval' at one period in music history.
Tritones can be heard in the following examples:
-Bass riff of "Jerry Was A Racecar Driver" by Primus
-The first two notes of "Maria" from West Side Story ("ma - ree")
-Opening intervals on "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix
-Opening two notes of the "The Simpsons" theme

A wonderful, cute, funny person. Triton really knows how to impress the ladies, but he also doesn't know how to treat them. When someone really loves him he'll push them away and completely break their heart. It takes a while to get over a Triton, unfortunately.
Person 1: Man , I like Triton but I wish he wouldn't have done ****** like that.
Person 2: Yeah , she was a real one, she didn't deserve that.

The traditional definition of Triton is a mythological Greek god, the messenger of the deep. He is the son of Poseidon, god of the sea. Triton is also the largest moon of Jupiter.
Triton is also the mascot of UCSD.
UCSD students are referred to as Tritons. According to several prominent Greek linguists, when translated into modern English Triton means one "one who is too stupid to attend UCLA or UC Berkeley." The UCSD Triton is tough, even under extreme torture the Triton will not admit that he/she was rejected by UCLA/UCB.
Unfortunately the UCSD Triton is quite ugly, see Triton Eye. The female Triton is Asian, has no ass or breasts, and a face made for a pitch black room. Imagine sleeping with a 12 year old Anglo boy in the dark; you get the idea. The Triton male is not even worth describing.
This is your warning; do not attend this vile university!
Dude 1: That is a cool shirt. What is that logo?
Dude 2: It is a UCSD shirt, I am a Triton.
Dude 1: Oh, I get it. So you did not get into UCLA/UCB right?
Dude 2: Fuck you!!!
You know it time to go back to Los Angeles} when you find a Triton attractive!
