h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

In the world of musicians some words take on interesting, esotric, and downright baffling meanings. For instance:

The word 'blue.' Generally though of the primary color that is niether red nor yellow.
However, pretend for a moment that you are a guitar player hired by a producer (that's the guy who is, more or less, responsible for the overall sound of the music) to play on a song. You're half-way through a blazing guitar solo, the that will surely secure your place in the pantheon of guitar gods, when the producer stops you and says something along the lines of:
"Could you make it more...um...blue?"
Here is the dillema: You may be thinking "Ah, blue...as in The Blues, as in Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, as in sadness and pain and soul..."
Meanwhile the producer might be thinking: "Blue...yes, as blue as the skies after a rain. A pure, beautiful blue, like the waters of the Caribean..."
...after which you go around in circles for three hours trying to understand each other and invariably end up using the very first guitar solo you played anyways.

Sadly, in a musical realm, it is this way with every adjective.

Too true!
