When somebody puts their owns looks, intelligence, talent, situation, etc down while someone else close to them has it worse than them. Can also be called diagonal deprecation. For example, if a person says “I’m so stupid” with a 4.0 GPA, it’s kinda rude when your friend has a 3.7.
Tom: “God I’m such an idiot. A 97 in math.”
Fred: “I got an 87.” :(
Fred’s head: “Does he know about lateral deprecation?”

Get the Laterade mug.A conceptual tool that uses a tightly focused, low-power laser beam to remotely initiate combustion in a flammable material. Unlike a cutting laser, its purpose isn't to destroy, but to precisely start a fire from a distance. It's the sci-fi alternative to a match or spark plug, useful in hazardous environments, for pyrotechnics, or as the futuristic "lighter" for plasma torches and exotic engines where a traditional spark is impossible.
*Example: "The salvage crew used a laser igniter to cut through the wreck. They didn't burn the metal; they just tapped the beam on a pocket of leaking chemical fuel, igniting a controlled flame that did the work. It was like using a 21st-century Bic lighter to start a bonfire on the hull of a 26th-century starship."*

Get the Laser Igniter mug.A sidearm-sized device that projects a low-to-medium power laser pulse designed to ignite the target's clothing, atmosphere, or fuel reserves rather than penetrate. It's a less-lethal (but still horrifying) weapon of intimidation and area denial. On a dry, oxygen-rich world, it's a flamethrower in a handgun package. In daily use, it's a dangerously over-engineered cigar lighter for mob bosses who want to make a point.
Example: "The smuggler didn't draw a blaster; he pulled a laser igniter pistol. One snap shot at the fuel line of my speeder, and I was suddenly deciding between surrendering his package or becoming the centerpiece of a very sudden, very personal barbecue. It wasn't about killing me; it was about making my immediate environment lethally committed to his negotiation strategy."
