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"

regenerative

see radio
A type of radio circuit that amplifies by feeding the output signal back into the input (regenerating) in such a manner that the signal is strenghtened.

If you improperly adjust the feedback on a regenerative receiver, it becomes a transmitter and will mess up the neighbors' radios!
