Get the tram mug.A word cherished by news corporations in the wake of any aviation incident that occurs at any airport. Tarmac refers to any paved area on an airport and usually replaces such words as apron, ramp, taxiway, or runway. Most of these areas are actually paved with concrete and not tarmac.
Passengers were left stranded for hours on the tarmac at Chicago O'Hare International Airport after the plane suffered engine problems.

Get the tramere mug.A breakbeat heard mostly (but not exclusively) in darker breeds of Drum'n'Bass/Jungle music; example Techstep. It is an offshoot of the "Amen" breakbeat though not as versatile in its ability to be chopped up, pitch shifted, tweaked and re-arranged. Originating in the track "Dj Trace - Sniper", the tramen's trademark characteristics are the high frequencies on all the hits (bass kick, snare etc.) sounding like distorted ride cymbals, metalic dings and crashes overlay all the drums.
The tramens in this tune are slicing through my eardrums!
examples:
Dj Trace - Sniper
Kryptic Minds & Leon Switch - Prejudice and Politics
+many more

Get the tram mug.A word which gives much joy to news people, who think they have discovered what to call the hard surface where aircraft park at an airport. The correct term is "ramp".
Upon exiting Marine One and seeing the news cameras rolling, Bush strutted like Ronnie across the tarmac.

Get the tarmac mug.Born December 1993, younger than someone born in November 1993, this particular asian enjoys sleeping, naps, bumming around and most of all, SHOPPING. Tram is a stealthy, fairly cleaver individual who loves to be social. In addition, she likes to look good and has a natural love for the Lone Star State. Always changing and keeping busy, Tram is harder to get to know than the typical person, but she is defiantly worth a try.
