I get a lot of "Can those backups just come up a titch."

What's funny is I made a joke about the word before my last project, and the drummer thought it was hilarious. He then proceeded to say

"Can my floor tom come up just a skosh?" Dozens of times a day he uses this word.....yeesh

"Tuck"

Is the one that bugs me.

"half a nipple"

Todd says "point," like "Snare drum up a point." I like it a lot. Modest but meaningful.

I've also heard "feather," which isn't too bad.

Don't like "RCH," or "split RCH." Very grandpa.

I can't think of any bad ones, although the ones mentioned so far are pretty fricken annoying. Maybe I been lucky to not hear too much of this.

There was a guy back in college that used the expression "cunt hair" to denote a very small amount of whatever. That was interesting.

thats what RCH is "red cunt hair" I think- tacky if you ask me-

Wow. I do think people of Irish descent have pubic hair that denotes a different db level.

To be fair, I have caught myself using the word "click" (up a click etc), or dorkier when talking to my band mates I'll say "Maybe just one or two db lower."

shit, I always try and specify how many dB I'm talking about. usually it's like "the guitar needs to come down about 3dB" or "that backing vocal should come down about half a dB" or something like that. what's the point of using a phrase as vague as "a little" or "a bit" or "a smidge" when you can say exactly what you mean?

how about "a tad"? I rather like that one, yeah?

I use db's too. But usually not in front of chicks.
