retroactively-awkward photo op 

The tendency of girls to take pictures with everyone at a party (regardless of whether or not they like the people in the photos), so that if something awkward or embarrassing happens with someone during the course of that party, there is usually a photo of them before that incident happened.
"Look at that picture of Michael, Ella, and Isabel"
"Weren't Ella and Isabel in a catfight that night?"
"Yeah but this was at the beginning of the night, it's clearly a retroactively-awkward photo op."

retraction period 

The time frame after a penis ejaculates during which the penis will remain soft because of the loss of semen that it has endured. Time length will vary by male.

The male whose penis has just ejaculated will usually want nothing to do with anything sexual until his semen level goes back to normal.
Because he just ejaculated, he's now on his retraction period and wants nothing to do with anything sexual.

retroactive abortion 

the act of eliminating people that should not be on the planet.
Stupid religious fucks deserve to be retroactively aborted.

Explosive reactive armour 

Initially designed to strengthen tanks, a reactive armour, that explodes when hit by either kinetic energy or high explosive antitank (HEAT) projectiles, disrupting the round, and degrading its penetration. Explosive reactive armour is most effective against HEAT rounds.

The new Russian Kontakt-5 ERA is not completely destroyed when hit - it still functions as armour after exploding.

Anti-tank weapons work by piercing the armour and exploding inside, thus killing the crew.

Explosive reactive armour counteracts the force of the explosion by creating another explosion on itself. Against shaped charged missiles, this type of armour really comes into it's own.

The design was patented by Manfred Held in the 1970's.
ERA will save the lives of the crew and allow the tank to fight another day.

retracting genitaliation syndrome 

When your butt/balls get burned, your penis will retract all the way into your throat, which will give you Retracting Genitaliation Syndrome. Also known as RGS.
James burned his butt on the metal ground, so now he has Retracting Genitaliation Syndrome.
