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.

Jesus H. God

A quite humorous variation of “Jesus H. Christ”, most famously used in the 1986 film “Short Circuit”. An apt term for expressing your extreme shock at a sudden turn of events.
Weather reporter: “Folks in the DFW area may not be able to see the April 8th solar eclipse due to cloud coverage.”

Person who invested time and money to travel to Texas specifically for this event: “JESUS H. GOD!”

Thou

(Verb)

To address someone by the second person pronoun “thou”. Back when this term was first used, it would often have been said in contempt as Thou was seen as an informal and potentially rude form of address. However nowadays, since Thou is considered by many to be more formal and respectful than the ordinary sounding “you”, it can have the exact opposite meaning and be taken as a great honor.
Historical usage: “Do not thou me, peasant, else I shall give thee a taste of this steel blade!”

Modern usage: “Did you just thou me? Oh my goodness…I’m so flattered!”

ġit

Old English dual pronoun meaning “the two of you”, pronounced “yit”. Not to be confused with the modern word “git”. This word is a much more useful and concise way of referring to a pair of people than anything in Modern English, but sadly fell out of fashion by the late Middle English period.
Ġit sindon dwǣsas

Translation: You two are fools.

"Yes" joke

Possibly the most incorrectly formulated joke found on the internet, especially in YouTube comments. Here is how it is usually phrased, let's say we're talking about a song with a lot of autotune. A commenter who's feeling clever might quip:

Producer 1: How much autotune should we put in this song?

Producer 2: Yes

This is INCORRECT, it is nonsensical and ungrammatical if you stop to think about it for two seconds. How much and how many are not yes / no questions, you can't answer "how much?" with "yes" unless you also specify two or more options. For example:

Q: How much autotune should we put in this song, a few touches or a robot-stroke inducing truckload?

A: Yes
Person 1: Should we make a few grammatically incorrect "Yes" jokes or spam the entire internet with them?

Person 2: Yes

Baroque Pop

A fusión genre, especially popular in the 1960s, which combines elements of pop and classical music. The style emerged as artists were interested in recapturing the grandeur of the baroque era.

Common characteristics of baroque pop:
1. Heavy use of strings, woodwinds, brass, and other orchestral accompaniment
2. Intricate, layered harmonies

3. Prominence of the harpsichord, a baroque era favorite
4. Lyrics that were often fantasy-like, romantic, and, sometimes intentionally, vague.

Baroque pop is related to sunshine pop and psychedelic pop, all three sharing several characteristics, such as their use of complex harmonies.
Baroque pop is not very popular nowadays, which is a shame, as it is one of my favorite genres .
