Fake DJ FAQs: Questions Nobody Actually Asked
If you are asking these questions, you definitely do not belong in a booth. You need help, or at least a stiff drink, to figure out your life.
What are some DJ slang terms?
BPM (Beats Per Minute), Trainwreck (a terrible transition), Crates (where you keep the vinyl you pretend to use), and Redlining (destroying the speakers because you are deaf).
What are some funny captions for DJs?
“Pretending to twist knobs so I look busy,” or “I am just playing my Spotify ‘Liked Songs’ playlist right now.”
What are phrases in DJing?
“Drop the beat,” “Wheel it back,” and the most common one: “Please do not put your drink on my laptop.”
What is a typical DJ quote?
“Make some noise!” (Usually yelled into a microphone when the crowd looks incredibly bored and wants to go home).
What are some good DJ one-liners?
Short and dumb is the whole point. Try “I used to be a DJ, but then I got a mortgage” or “Dropping the bass hurts my lower back now.” If it takes longer than five seconds to say, it is not a real one-liner.
What is a funny DJ birthday pun?
Something like “Wishing you a happy birthday and lower back relief” or “Blowing out candles instead of blowing out speakers.” Nobody at the party will laugh out loud, but somebody will definitely groan.
What are cat DJ puns?
Mostly excuses to say “purr-fect” and “scratch” as many times as legally allowed, like “The cat DJ only plays purr-fect tunes” or “He knocked the mixer off the table on purpose.” The cat did not consent to any of this.
