Something which is ambiguous and hard-to-understand in nature. The word originate from the 1981 British rock band Genesis, in which a song was titled by the same name. The song was named "A-B-A-C-A-B" to remember the original chord progression of the song; however the song kept the name afterwards as the band thought it was cool. Later on in 2007, the band had to remove the song from the list of songs to be played on their tour due to the band forgetting what the song even meant. The ambiguity of both the song, and the word that came from the song; has caused the word to become a pseudo-slang word about ambiguity and confusion.
