spread spectrum

A signal struc­turing tech­nique that employs direct se­quence, frequency hopping or a hybrid of these, which can be used for multiple access and/or multiple func­tions. This technique decreases the potential interfer­ence to other receivers while achieving privacy and increasing the immunity of spread spec­trum receivers to noise and interference. Spread spec­trum generally makes use of a sequential noise­‑like signal structure to spread the normally narrow­band informa­tion signal over a relatively wide band of frequencies. The receiver corre­lates the signals to retrieve the origi­nal informa­tion signal (NTIA)

Normal scanners cannot get spread spectrum transmissions.

Butterface-Scuffin Muffin Spectrum (B-SMS)

The spectrum by which a girl's body is rated in comparison to her face, where butterface is an ugly face v a nice body and scuffin muffin is a nice face v an ugly body. A zero is optimal, denoting your body and face are roughly at the same attractiveness level.

Guy: "Ehh I'll give her a overall 7.5 on the hotness scale, but on the Butterface-Scuffin Muffin Spectrum (B-SMS) she's moderately leaning towards Scuffin Muffin."

spectrum surfer

Someone who is highly intelligent in their own field but has the emotional intelligence and political correctness of a slug. In their own mind they are always right and have no feelings filter when dealing with others. Spectrum refers to the autism spectrum and while not medically defined as being on the spectrum is bloody close based on their mannerisms.

Did you see that email. He was right but now I'm going to have to deal with all the HR complaints. Bloody spectrum surfer.
