Defrost Cycle

See Heat Pump. Also called "defrosting" and "going into a defrost."

When it gets below about 45 degrees, a heat pump running in HEAT mode may develop ice or frost on the coils. There are exceptions to the rule, however, as I have seen heat pumps defrost when it is abve 45 degrees and even in the 50s! If it gets frozen enough, it may have to defrost. A defrost cycle is initiated by the the reversing valve switching the flow of Freon and putting the unit in COOL mode. However, unlike when the unit is running in COOL mode on a hot day, the fan blades in outdoor unit are not spinning, and the system typically has its electric, gas, or oil backup heat running to prevent the heat pump from effectively air-conditioning the house while it is defrosting. Sometimes, depending on a number of factors, a steam or fog may appear above the heat pump (see Steam Show). A defrost cycle can last anywhere from less than a minute to ten minutes or more depending on a number of factors, including outdoor temperature, ice/frost buildup on the outdoor coils, whether or not it is raining or snowing, and what temperature the thermostat is set at.

The first time I saw a defrost cycle at my new house, I thought my heat pump wa broken and about to explode!

My heat pump is located right outside the master bedroom window, and it woke me up this morning when it went into defrost.

I was playing with my dog in the backyard on a chilly winter day, when my heat pump went into defrost and scared her so much that she started barking at it.

2.6 Hog Cycle 

A deck found within the game of Clash Royale, one of the cheapest viable decks in the entire game, despite its low elixir cost it can be extremely frustrating to fight against. Often used by people who believe Clash Royale is a competitive game while forgetting the entire point of a game especially mobile is to have casual fun and not to dedicate their lives to.
Also often a corresponding symptom of fatherlessness found in young children and adults.

2.6 Hog Cycle Player: Hahaha, I've countered your entire push with my endless cycling! Is there anything I can't cycle out of?
Player who just wants to have fun: Too bad you can't cycle back to your father.

spare cycles 

Phrase used by sadistic managers (particularly in IT) to describe any moment of spare time their employee(s) might have.

The implication is that the employee is like an old mainframe computer, and should be put to work for every second of the day or else corporate value is lost.

Boss: "Hey, Bob has some spare cycles, he can do these 29 extra tasks."

Bob: <grunts incoherently and shuffles closer to complete mental breakdown>

16 year cycle 

When a "girl" gets pregnant too soon at 16, the girls mum is 32 and the grandmother is 48. The phenonomen, unfortunately for modern society at large, occurs in deprived and sometimes isolated areas of a nation where sexual education is low or non-existent. The consequences to the individual are massive. History repeats itself.

16 year cycle - definition: Joe was doing really well for the high school basketball team, training hard. But man didn't y'all hear he got his girl Eva pregnant and now he's gotta stick with his factory job to support the bambino on the way. Career over before it started! Man, you have to feel the pain with him! Its like that "Specials song, - too much too young"!

Person 2: it must be his MANstrual cycle.
