yorbel
A portmanteau of "yodel" and "warble," yorbeling is a particuarly awful vocal style endemic mostly to 1990's rock and especially alt-rock. It is defined by an exaggerated and repeated movement of the tongue into the upper palate in a way that causes the vocal timbre to gyrate like a drug-addled, underaged concertgoer in a mosh pit, often obfuscating the actual diction to the point that you can't understand what the fuck the singer is actually saying. Refined through the heavy drug use and post-Cold War optimism that birthed the glory days of grunge, post-grunge, and alt-rock, yorbeling owes at least a minor debt to the legendary (or notorious) 80's rock phenoms like Brian Johnson, David Lee Roth, and Joe Elliott, and was championed in the 1990's by the diverse likes of Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam), Adam Duritz (Counting Crows), Scotts Stapp (Creed) and Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots), Darius Rucker (Hootie and the Blowfish), and others. It is thought to be limited to male singers, especially male singers struggling with deficiencies in charisma or self-esteem, but it notably transcends genres. Other singers like Rob Thomas (Matchbox Twenty) sometimes yorbel, but yorbeling is definitively tongue-dependent and should be differentiated from singing styles that simply manipulate the embochure (the shape of the mouth), like those of 1990's rock legend Art Alexakis (Everclear). The term is thought to have originated from some Mennonite musicians in Pittsburgh circa 2011.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Got this mug for my daughter and she was taken a back. I explained to her why it was funny, but she didn't seem to understand. Its been a few days since my daughter has talked to me. I'm positive she loves it! I'm hoping to hear from her soon :)
Arrived before my daughter’s birthday, which was good. Not chipped or cracked, so that was good, too. Ichabod Crane looked good on the ferra color.
Looks great. Made a cool gift. Quick shipping!
It holds liquid, very good
I use it to catch my cum
the mug is really durable, my parents beat me with it and it doesnt break

Professor - I am loving this ....not all professors are blasted toward intellectualism. I believe smart comes in all different sizes, color, beauty, and personality. I will use this coffee cup proudly. Loving it in Denver. Jax

I sent my friend the Wordle URL for her to enjoy. She did her first Wordle and got so excited, she sent me a text including the answer she got. This showed at the top of my screen and I read it - there was no way to un-read it so I was ... wordlefucked for the day!
