Term 11:  "Fat"                                               

Translation:  I am required to use this word to appeal to our rapper demographic. 

 

Term 12:  "Strident"

Translation:  No one really knows what this word means, or how it relates to microphones, but it sounds good anyway.

 

Term 13:  "silky"

Translation:  I ran out of descriptive terms, so now I'm really reaching for the esoteric ones.....

 

 

So that's just a sampling.  Feel free to send me your own examples at onfirepro@aol.com.  Again, let me emphasize that most of these terms are perfectly valid when used properly, (I use some of them quite often, in fact). But  in the hands of magazine spinsters, they become meaningless propaganda.  Buzz words designed to sell you any and all mics who pay ad bucks
