Crazy Crap Item #76: The part where I learn a new word

Poop-singing (püp-seeng-eeng)

Def.: The labored style of singing in which the performer likes s/he is producing a nice, solid bowel movement each time s/he opens her/his mouth

Example: The strained tenor engages in fully realized performances of poop-singing, particularly as he reaches for the high notes.

I dunno about the strained tenor, but American Idol is especially rife with poop-singing this year. Funny, had you not supplied the definition, that would suggest something else. . . Nothing like starting the day with a good punny poop. As for the final three (on last night: one goes tonight), Taylor Hicks is probably the most poopy, as it looks like he practices his (form of) dancing by doing thrust squats up and down on the bog. Katherine -- Kat -- does poopy runs (runny poops?), or melisma poops. And funky white boy Eliot poops from the heart.
