Etymology: Acronym of Gamma Ray Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

pos: noun
examples: The Russians are working on the graser. One B. V. Chirkov has published a theoretical study in the Soviet Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics. He thinks a very pure crystal, "pumped" with a powerful source of radiation (such a "hard" X rays), much as a ruby crystal is pumped with high-intensity light in one form of laser, could be stimulated to emit coherent gamma rays—pulses of high-energy radiation perfectly in step.
Not lasers. Grasers. Gamma Ray Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
gloss: The beam of coherent gamma rays produced by such a device.

In 2012 Houston Astros fan Bryan Trostel was watching a game when he heard the announcers joke about how many “altuves” a home run had traveled.
Judge is 1.22 Altuves. Is there a drawback to being a big man in baseball?
No matter how you slice it, Altuve is one of the best hitters in baseball despite yielding at least 7 inches (that’s about .108 Altuves) to every other elite hitter.
Want to know how many Altuves there are from home plate to first base? That would be 16.61436219309581.

In a scene where nobody with any ambition is really what he appears to be, there's not much risk in acting like a king-hell freak.

examples: Nearly every pharmaceutical house has its own brands, sold in tablets, solutions or brightly-colored capsules, on which its “detail men” keep doctors informed. Probably the most popular successors to Veronal are Seconal (“red birds” to the bootleg trade) and Nembutal (“yellow jackets”).
In spite of the seconal he was eaten up by his nerves. His face was covered with sweat.
Each night she looked at the bottle of Seconals with affection. She never could do this without the dolls. She would have spent sleepless nights, smoking, worrying—and she would have lost her nerve.
Doctor, they can stand on the window ledge and threaten to splatter themselves on the pavement below, they can pile the Seconal to the ceiling—I may have to live for weeks and weeks on end in terror of these marriage-bent girls throwing themselves beneath the subway train, but I simply cannot, I simply will not, enter into a contract to sleep with just one woman for the rest of my days.
His horror of insomnia, compounded with a family history of compulsive worrying, caused him to down three or four Placidyls, Seconals, Quaaludes, or Tuinals almost every night—and often it was a combination of all four.
Seconal is the commercial name of the barbiturate quinalbarbitone. Its generic name is secobarbital. […] Both Rohypnol and Seconal are physically addictive, and use of all three drugs rapidly builds up tolerance.

examples: We're actually quite a risk-taking species, as species go: and because of that we've managed, in the space of little more than 100,000 years, to go from being a bunch of monkeys (hominids, if you want to be strictly correct about this) somewhere in Africa to more or less total world domination. Not to mention flying to the moon.
At a cost of an estimated $9 million, The Hire series consists of short movies (five or six minutes) about a risk-taking professional driver driving a BMW.
“We are a risk-taking organization,” Kirk said. “We are doing multimillion-dollar deals. We guarantee loans. We could fail. But my view is that Bob Dylan thing, 'He not busy being born is busy dying.'”
gloss: The practice or tendency of doing things that are risky or have uncertain outcomes.
pos: noun
tags: uncountable
examples: Unfortunately, these are the types of risks kids and teens are most likely to take, when risk-taking can seem like a cool way to be independent or escape problems.
They are similar mainly in the characteristics that brought them together—a positive (or negative) attitude toward schoolwork, in the case of the children in Kindermann's study, or a penchant for risk-taking, in the case of the antisocial gangs.
During the development era, Koreans seem to have ignored the increase of risks and, at times, appear to have considered high-stakes risk-taking as heroic.

Of course, most systems have some failure rate — incest does occur, because innate behaviors direct rather than dictate (chimps also have an occasional anti-incest failure).
Even when we're at our most arbitrary and forgetful of our own stance, we remain antibestiality and anti-incest.
