@visakanv Hiatus Kaiyote does this a bunch... I remember Nai saying that when she comes up with a goofy off rhythm and the drummer likes it, she knows she's on the right track. Not the best example, but gets you the vibe: https://t.co/5H388QmtUk

@visakanv Norm MacDonald's entire carrer was him doing it so bad that it was hilarious. "He goes you - I go, you're uh, you're not a - sin-guh- you're drunk" no other comedian can pull off this delivery https://t.co/ImjrTtMPYu
