A deliberate release of pressure and vapor, such as from a steam engine, or bottling equipment. Example: The proper use of the air cock is, that after the engine is got steadily to work, and the snift emits no more than it should do, that the air cock should be opened as much as it can be to let the engine come fairly in, that is, for the piston to come fully down, and if it goes out in preference to that of coming in, the better.

Word: sexualist Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Originally a calque of New Latin sexualista (“advocate of Linnaeus's ideas of sexual reproduction in plants”), from sexualis (“sexual”) + -ista (“-ist”). Now in additional senses directly from sexual + -ist. 1. One who believes that plants reproduce by sexual reproduction, especially one who accepts the sexual classification method of Linnaeus. Example: But if this is at all an argument, it is one from which the sexualist has but little to fear; as in the case of slips and layers there is in fact no production of a new individual, but merely a prolongation of the old; or at best a multiplication by means of division, as in the case of the Polypi: and although plants are capable of being multiplied in this manner, it is no proof that they may not be propagated by means of sexual intercourse also. Example: Both the asexualist Spallanzini and the sexualist Erasmus Darwin cited Koelreuter, and the German botanist Johann Hedwig, the first to describe male and female reproductive structures in nonseed plants (cryptogams), declared in 1798 that Koelreuter had demonstrated “beyond all doubt" that "propagation by sexual union takes place in the plant world also." 2. One who is very sexual; A person who is very lusty. Example: My interest was centered in what I call "the true homosexual:" the man who has male genitals, who is an active male sexualist, and who likes to play with other male genitals. Example: Sappho, being a poet and "a sexualist," embodies the word herself; language and sex become one in her: "Say my name and you say sex," she is the outcome of "the union of language and lust." 3. Someone with a specified type of sexuality. Labels: usually Example: Reminiscences out of his infantile preiod were utilized in the neruosis, as a result of which he came near being the victim of a homo-sexualist. Example: And anybody taking part in it must be a perverted sexualist? 4. One who promotes sexual freedom. Example: A much more thoroughgoing sexualist was Wilhelm Reich who advocated sexual freedom for adolescents, children and married people. Example: As Hal told me, "I'm a sexualist. I've always said , 'We're fighting for sexual freedom. Let's have some . '
Word: sexualist Part of Speech: adj Etymology: Originally a calque of New Latin sexualista (“advocate of Linnaeus's ideas of sexual reproduction in plants”), from sexualis (“sexual”) + -ista (“-ist”). Now in additional senses directly from sexual + -ist. 1. Engaging in sexualism; discriminating based on someone's sexuality. Example: One would suggest that Iraqis have always been extraordinarily xenophobic, intolerant, racist, patriarchal, sexist, and sexualist. Example: The particular ways different trans conceptualizations of space coalesce around PFZs provides a powerfully clear image for how classed, racialized and (cis) sexualist policies and powers impact trans communities in DC. 2. A proponent of sexualism: advocating preferential treatment of women because of their role in reproducing the species Example: In a sexualist regime, society would be properly organized to support its reproductive resources as well as its productive forces. Example: That socialist program promoted class stuggle, while a sexualist program proposed to resolve the struggle between the sexes. 3. Pertaining to Linnaeus' sexual system of botanical classification. Example: When Linnaeus' sexualist system of botany initially became known in England, there were detractors who charged that Linnæus and his botanical classification system were obscene. Example: Even Robert Thornton, who defends the sexualist system in his introduction to New Illustration of the Sexual System of Linnaeus, inadvertently reveals botany's fraught reputation as unmanly and nonanalytical: "by this analytical mode of studying Botany we rise far superior to the Contempt which is commonly cast on this lovely Science, by those who are ignorant of our Procedure... it must be allowed on every side to be a manly sort of Puzzle, as amusing as it is instructive." 4. Based on or deriving from sexuality. Example: Sexual discourse too becomes entirely phantasmatic when sex itself, the critical reduction of moral and social mystification that it used to be, becomes the mode of rationalisation of a problem situated at the level of the total symbolic destruction of social relations, an examination of the sexualist discourse contributes to locking away under a security code. Example: Note that while Freud does not maintain that all dreams are of sexual motivation, in the particular case of the psychogenic nightmare he holds uncompromisingly to the sexualist interpretation. 5. Sexist. Example: Conservatives, as I am using the word, support hegemonic capitalism while protecting a "learned ignorance" of their necessary resultant support for racialist and sexualist social structures. Example: My interpretation, non inconsistent with that of Orobio de Castro, is that in the sexualist perspective of western societies, the sex of women is, above all, a 'no-sex male'.

Word: wall humping Part of Speech: noun 1. Gyrating the hips towards a wall in a sexual fashion. Labels: uncountable Example: But will he be content with merely grabbing his crotch instead? That's the key question after Kelly's headlining appearance Friday night at the Budweiser Superfest, held in the Cleveland State University Convocation Center. Kelly's performance was not rip-off bad - it was actually very good at times. But his over-reliance on wall-humping gimmicks left the clear impression that Kelly had sold his audience - and himself - short. Example: 62 minutes and 40 seconds of doll-pummeling, wall-humping, scatological metaphor. 2. (The act of a character) moving repeatedly against a wall, as if humping it, either intentionally (e.g. trying to find secret doors) or due to a glitch.
