Drop C is a tuning for guitar and bass where the lowest string is tuned down by two full steps and all other strings are tuned down by one step, so the outcome is CGCFAD.
It is not to be confused with C Sharp Standard or "Black Sabbath" tuning which means that all strings are tuned down by one and a half steps.
The biggest advantage of Drop C is that you can use a single finger (instead of two or three) to play powerchords on the lowest three strings. This technique is known as "chocolate finger" among some guitarists.

Henx is an adjective meaning "out of control". It can be used in the same way as "cool" "rad" "awesome" et cetera, but it can also describe somebody who is drunk, high or just totally crazy.
You should check out that new game, it's really henx!
Last night I drank so much, I was totally henx.

The best fuckin song ever written. By SLEEP. Also known as "Dopesmoker" (there are two versions available, the one called Dopesmoker is better, but it's five times as expensive as the Jerusalem version).
The song is about an hour long (52 to 63 minutes, depending on version) is about 50 BPM slow and features crazy-ass drumming, a fuzzed-out heavy bass, a guitar that sounds like a dried out riverbed in the desert (if you know what I mean) and unique vocals, something between growling and ritual chanting.
The lyrics of Jerusalem/Dopesmoker are about a caravan delivering weed to said city. They glorify cannabis in any possible way. Many new (or old, but almost never used) words are mentioned, like "Hasheeshian", "Marihuanaut" and "lungsmen".
Rather than using a "normal"song strucure (verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus etc.) Jerusalem/Dopesmoker is set up like this:
Intro, fucking awesome riff, even more fucking awesome riff, epic riff, unbelievably good guitar solo, awesome riff, even more fucking awesome riff, another epic riff, fucking awesome guitar solo, quiet part, extremely heavy highpoint of the song including another fucking awesome solo, epic riff, reprise of the first fucking awesome riff.
All in all, it is definitely worth listening to (can be found on Youtube in both versions) wether you're a Stoner, a Metalhead, a fan of psychedelic music, a fan of experimental music, or you just like to have your brain melted via your eardrums.
