radio

There are many different types of radio receiving circuits:
-Crystal (see above)
-Regenerative
-Tuned Radio Frequency (TRF)
-Superheterodyne

Modern radios are superheterodyne. The superheterodyne circuit replaced the TRF and regenerative circuits by the 1930's, and crystal sets were nearly dead until solid state radio emerged.

crock

Short for "crock of bullshit."

True beauty is on the inside? What a crock!

Comment submitted with Request to Delete: "It is hard to understand "crock" by giving a saying "crock of bullshit"; it's like defining basketball as "what they use in a basketball game"

gash

A large, ripped opening, usually caused by violent force.

I walked out of the store only to find that there was now a giant gash in the side of my car, and a guy running across the parking lot with an axe in his hand.
