Any reasonable individual should realize that talking about ghosts and monsters in the closet is about on the same level as such jargon.
Come on guys. Lets be realistic.
If the receiver sounded bad, assuming it was definitely the receiver causing the problem which is a huge assumption (as opposed to the problem being the room, your mood when listening, the wind on your windows, your seat location two inches to left of centre that day, etc), then lets not try to get too crazy about the five or more adjectives actually used to describe it eh?
If the receiver was actually malfunctioning you would hear distortion, no sound from various channels, perhaps crackling, etc.
I highly DOUBT it would sound like the description of someone with an intestinal problem and stomach flu.
