dj

DJ

An abbreviation of "disc jockey," one who selects and plays music for the public, as on a radio station or at a party or event. Man, this DJ is terrible—no one is dancing. I love that DJ's radio show—she always plays the best music. That DJ starts his show every night by playing three Led Zeppelin songs in a row.
