 [ "Erotic Refrain" ]

1: After Sadly going unnamed for several millennia, "Erotic Refrain" refers to the pleasantly repeated utterances of the human female, often repetitive, at times spontaneously outburst, while she is entertaining personal pleasure. Perhaps, etiologically, the most delightfully harmonious sound that emanates from the human female voice. Learned esoterically erotically skilled gentlemen endeavor to play a lady's Erotic Refrain like a Stradivarius, but with more than 25,000 nerve endings, the human female's instrument has a much broader range than the scant few strings of the violin. Aforementioned gentlemen will also endeavor to elicit single or multiple stanzas of a lady's Erotic Refrain in casual conversation, during fine dining, with romantic monologues and, of course, during foreplay.... ....analogous to a Maestro Director warming up an orchestra. Elder learned esoterically erotically skilled gentlemen and elder ladies agree that the typical Erotic Refrain was of far more prolonged duration prior to the 50% plummeting of Male Testosterone since pre-WWII, with an unprecedentedly magnificent crescendo toward the end!

  * e.g.,  ... Neighbor #1; Did you get any sleep last night. 

 [ "redial refrain" ]

1: The rapid little multi-note musical ditty that you hear when you press "redial" on a touch-tone phone.
