Bite, Slap, and Sizzle - What does it mean?

[OmegaZero]

I'm sure someone else has already posted this or something like it. I couldn't find anything with a quick search though, so I thought I would toss it up here for those who haven't seen it...

Ever wonder what descriptions like bite, slap, and sizzle actually mean? Have a look at the attached chart. It is part of an insert poster published by Sound on Sound in October 2012 (Full image here at ModeAudio).

Nice! I've always wondered......because I think people abuse the shit out of these terms.

People need to chill out with their adjectives and adverbs.
