The most visited word in UD. The word on the orange button that signifies "I have understood the instructions and wish to proceed." The word that all UD editors click on before adding a definition.

Thanks!

paise

Smallest and now defunct unit of currency in india.
100 paise = 1 rupee
6 paise = 1 anna.
hence 24 paise = 4 anna, but the one paise gets added usually, and a 25 paise coin is known as a charanna or a chavanni.
Therefore a 50 paise coin is known as an athanna, or an attanni, but the word has been bastardised into adhanna, meaning half an anna, which does not make sense.

bhagwan ke naam pe ek paise de do

copper-T

A product of population control in India, and an item of great mystery to high school kids, and cooper-T is a T shaped strip of copper inserted into the sac of a female, to ensure non-fertilisation. The arms of the T are highly coiled. This has a 97% sucess rate. The copper deactivates the sperm, and the coiled arms are a physical barrier to prevent fertilisation.

Copper T is not in use now. It was never in use, actually.

flush and run

A flush and run is a hand in the game of royal flush, where you get three cards of the same color that are consecutive.
This is the second most potent hand in the game, after the royal flush itself.

An king, a queen and a jack, and I had one of the best flush and runs ever!

asteroid

Any rock floating about in outer space. There is a whole bunch of suck rocks floating about in outer space between the earth and mars, and this is known as the asteroid belt. When a stray asteroid gets heavily influenced by a planet's gravitation field, when it strays to close to the said planet, and eventually ends up crashing into that planet, the asteroid becomes a meteorite. If it does not end up crashing in, but grazes the atmosphere, or burns up in the aire itself, it is known as a meteor.

One of the largest asteroids is named after the gaulish God of the sky, Tautatis.
