I was going to put this as off-topic, but it does relate to singing in a way. Caio asked what a twinkie was a few days ago, and no one responded to his misunderstanding of the term, so here's the definition: It's the brand-name (not a slang term) of a sausage-shaped, spongy white cake with a cream filling, very high on sugar and fat content and the reason the term "junk food" was created.
How does this relate to singing? I can't count the number of times I've been translating a song or aria and had difficulty either figuring out which definition of a particular word to use, or not been able to find a definition that seems to fit at all, only to discover that the correct definition wasn't in the dictionary at all. So although I don't want to get involved in the heated discussion that's been going on, I do relate to an ESL (that's English as a second language)/non-North American poster's frustration at not being able to get the right meaning.
