Always ask for return policy
This is the best advice I can give you when you are shopping. You can change your mind whenever you want (in a period of time after buying of course) only if you know what are the policies regarding returning an item.
Saying that, I bought a sony headphone for half of its shelf price at The Source. I opened it and not even put it on my ears, tada! That was enough not to get refund on headphones. I am not blaming The Source but myself, you always have to ask and read back of your receipt for that matter. Saying all that, it is cheap of The Source not to accept returns if they are open. How one can test audio quality of a headphone without opening it. Thus, I do suggest you not to buy from The Source in that regards.

Fluke
Unlikely chance occurrence, esp. a surprising piece of luck: "their triumph was no fluke".
In particle physics, three sigma counts as "evidence". Claiming a discovery requires a statistical certainty of five sigma - which denotes a one in a million chance that any given result is a fluke.

Spain’s problem is one of misdiagnosis. Its government and European officials reckon the main challenge is fiscal.

Price-Earnings Ratio - P/E Ratio
Sample use (from Globe&Mail):
The decline in Zynga’s price now makes it one of the cheapest social-media stocks. Its forward price-to-earnings ratio dipped below 20 Tuesday, per Standard & Poor’s CapitalIQ.
Definition (from Investopedia):
A valuation ratio of a company's current share price compared to its per-share earnings.
Calculated as:
Market Value per Share
Earnings per Share (EPS)
For example, if a company is currently trading at $43 a share and earnings over the last 12 months were $1.95 per share, the P/E ratio for the stock would be 22.05 ($43/$1.95).
EPS is usually from the last four quarters (trailing P/E), but sometimes it can be taken from the estimates of earnings expected in the next four quarters (projected or forward P/E). A third variation uses the sum of the last two actual quarters and the estimates of the next two quarters.
Also sometimes known as "price multiple" or "earnings multiple".
Definition (from Wikipedia):
In stock trading, the P/E ratio (price-to-earnings ratio) of a stock (also called its "P/E", or simply "multiple") is a measure of the price paid for a share relative to the annual Earnings per Share (EPS).[2].
Unlike the EV/EBITDA multiple which is capital structure-neutral, the price-to-earnings ratio reflects the capital structure of the company in question. The price-to-earnings ratio is a financial ratio used for valuation: a higher P/E ratio means that investors are paying more for each unit of net income, so the stock is more expensive compared to one with a lower P/E ratio. The P/E ratio can be seen as being expressed in years, [note 1] in the sense that it shows the number of years of earnings which would be required to pay back purchase price, ignoring inflation and time value of money. The P/E ratio also shows current investor demand for a company share. The reciprocal of the P/E ratio is known as the earnings yield.[3] The earnings yield is an estimate of the expected return from holding the stock if we accept certain restrictive assumptions (a discussion of these assumptions can be found here).

Willow Warbler
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willow_Warbler
Willow Warbler is a kind of bird. I have heard its name in one British TV shows called Keeping Up Appearances.
The actress (Hyacinth Bucket) was trying to take others attention away from a scene happening by saying she saw a willow warbler.
