Heard any funny names for drum sounds? ?

I'm talking about when someone in the band tries to describe a drum sound or rhythm they want played.  Most everyone has heard of "Ba-dum ching!" as the description for a rim-shot for example, but I'm sure there are more.

My favorites are:

• "Boots and pants and boots and pants!"  (Just say this rhythmically and you'll get the idea.)
• "Pea soup!"  (This one was originally asked as a question to the drummer: "How do you make that 'pea soup' sound?"  This comes from opening and closing the hi-hat.)

So what have you heard that was interesting or funny? ?

Well I've heard when a drummer was considerd too loud it was asked "can you tone it down?"

Does "Shut the *uck up you long haired lay about or we'll call the cops" count?
