The following are words I saw over at the asylum being used to describe cables. I just defined them. (Not all definitions are original, and if you can prove you are the originator, the check is in the mail.)
Accurate - A fancy Honda
Break-In Period - The time between bringing a cable or electronic device home and the date when you finally get use to it. It is usually calculated by adding 14 days to the return period.
DBT - A really nasty curse word. Only a few educated people actually know the real meaning, but to a lot of people it has a similar effect as starting a joke with “Your Mother…”.
Dynamic - What an audiophiles personality becomes when you do not agree with them.
Golden Ears - All that is left of two Buddha statues the Taliban destroyed.
Holographic Soundstage - Using the NCC 1701E Holodeck for American Bandstand.
Onkyo - The sound a Japanese pig makes (Thanks Rip).
Opened-Up - What an audiophile does most often to his wallet when confronted with an overprice piece of wire.
Optimized - Direct relationship between Audiophile’s wallet and skull thickness.
Palpability - An audiophiles perceived ability to touch to void.
Resonance - The sound you get by blowing in an audiophiles ear. It sounds similar to blowing across a beer bottle, only this time their hair on the other side of their head will move about in the breeze.
Revealing - What an audiophiles spouse becomes to get their attention.
Sibilant - Two siblings having a hissy fit.
Supermicroporus Foam Teflon - Gore-Tex.
Timbral Accuracy - Those weren’t cymbals, your spouse just threw a piece of fine china at the wall.
Time-Correct Windings - The same effect on LFE signals that an police car has on traffic.
Transparent - The glaze look in an Audiophile’s eyes when the shop keeper tells them the next cable they will “hear” cost $17,499.95.
Yamaha - A motorcycle
