The Wordinary: Entry No. 14

a crapella

a-cra-pell-a
adverb or adjective

1.  How you actually sound when you attempt to sing without the usual backing of your super-loud stereo system or other musical accompaniment.  Most evident when one sings with ones head phones in - i.e. your performance may be X Factor material to you, but a crapella to everyone else in your vicinity.
