Bop-type Refrain

What is Bop-type Refrain?


1.

An extremely esoteric nickname for cocaine. In the original lyrics to the Cole Porter classic showtune "I Get a Kick Out of You", the second verse begins is "Some get a kick from cocaine". As the years passed, that was changed to "Some like the bop-type refrain" so kids could continue to put on "Anything Goes" as a high-school musical.

People aware of this, wanting to demonstrate their cultural refinement and speak about cocaine, all while avoiding eavesdroppers and self-incrimination, replace the technical name of their drug of choice with "Bop-type Refrain" (or simply "Bop-type", though the later option brings with it a tremendous risk of losing your audience.)

Chris: I'm sick of referring to cocaine as " yatch". It's gone too mainstream.

Kevin: How about "Bop-type Refrain"?

Chris: What the - oh, I get it. I didn't know you were a devotee of musical theater.

Kevin: Eh, I know the Sinatra version.
