A mental state equivalent to average awareness.

Coordinate terms:

Alice was quite combobulated, paying close attention in her classes and getting all A’s. Rick, meanwhile, often found himself discombobulated by his instructor’s lengthy lectures. Meanwhile, Steve followed along fine for the most part, but sometimes needed to ask for help. He was perfectly bobulated.

Streaming Generation

The Streaming Generation has come of age in the era of music and movie streaming on apps such as Spotify and Pandora. This generation will have little to no memory of a time when CDs and DVDs were relevant media in their respective field. The time period covered by this generation is approximately 20005 to the present day, giving them a significant overlap with generation Z. Members of this generation are likely to prioritize efficiency in the way they consume music and video, however there have also been some backlash to this, which have led many of them to re-embrace older forms of these, particularly vinyl records.

Contrast with: ITunes generation, CD generation, Vinyl generation

The Streaming Generation have come to expect maximal efficiency in their music listening and film viewing experiences, at the expense of the personal quality of physical ownership, yet some are discovering ways to balance the old with the new, as evidenced by the resurgence of vinyl records in spite of the ubiquity of streaming services.

306-232

(political humor, rare) An inevitable outcome, something that cannot be avoided no matter what one tries.

A reference to the Electoral College tally in the previous two US presidential elections, where, if you discount faithless electors, the result both times was 306-232.

Only three things in life are certain: Death, Taxes, and 306-232. There is no escape.

♭

“Flat”, from the musical notation for a flat note, not to be confused with the letter “b” to which it does bear a striking resemblance.

However, ♭ can also be used as a general replacement for the word “flat” in writing (it is always pronounced “flat”, in spite of its resemblance to “b”), much like & can substitute for “and”, or @ can stand in for “at”.

My soda tastes a bit♭

I can’t stand♭ earthers

The performance fell♭ on its face

That dress really♭ers her figure (flatters)

His♭top and♭cap are straight out of the 50s (flattop, flatcap)

My♭mates kept me up all night with their horribly♭ karaoke (flatmates)
