speed date 

An organised social event to facilitate meeting new people, usually for hetrosexuals wishing to meet new potential partners.

Equal numbers of both sexes attend, usually paying a gratuity of around GBP£20. Each spends about three minutes talking to each member of the oppposite sex - the social interaction that takes place therein is referred to as a 'speed date'.

At the end of the evening everyone marks on a card who they would like to date again and who they wouldn't. The organisers then swap contact information between matches - usually an email address or mobile phone number.

Speed dating apparently started in New York, and was popularised by TV show 'Sex In The City'. It is now most popular amongst professionals in their mid 20's and 30's.

Short for "Gatsometer" - a Dutch made "photographic trap" system used in the UK and Europe to identify speeding motorists. The GATSO traps are unmanned and take a photo of the rear of the speeding vehicle.

"Gatsometer BV" was founded in 1958 by Maurice Gatsonides, who was a famous rally driver and invented the "Gatsometer". This was the world's first reliable speed measuring device.
Fucking GATSO camera photographed me speeding on the A449. I wish those cunting police officers would invest more time and money in catching burglars instead of implementing another of the government's plethora of stealth taxes.

orgasmatron 

A "head massager" comprised of seven pieces of copper wire stuck in a plastic handle. Ridiculously expensive seeing as one could fashion it from a couple of coat hangers and some plastercine in sixty seconds. Touted on the Internet a tool of world peace and a sure route to Nirvana.
Why didn't I think clearly before I purchased an orgasmatron?
