Electrical term, Class A/B Amplifier.
A class A/B amplifier is also called a psh/pull amp. Class A/B amplifiers have 2 amps, one to push the speaker out (+), the other to pull it in (-). In guitar amps that use tubes, this means that one tube, a driver tube inverts the signal polarity before it reaches the B side.
A class A amp pushes and pulls the speaker, and thus must do more work. Most commercial (in home) amps (stereo receivers, etc.) are class A amps. Class A/B is generally used in guitar amps over 30 watts, high powered Bass amps, and professional power amps. Class A/B generally delivers the same power at double the impedance. So if an amp gets 100w per side @ 4 ohms, then it will generally get 200w bridged mono @ 8 ohms. This is rarely 100% true in practice.
Class A/B is also called "Bridging" an amp (transistor amps generally).

"Fender Twins use 4 6L6s in a Class A/B circut to deliver 85 w RMS @ 4 ohms... In other words, they's pretty damn clean boss."

Get the Class A/B mug.A phrase used to describe someone with a large penis, or someone particularly good in bed.
The phrase originated from Chessington world of adventures having lots of "exhilerating rides"

Person One: Did you hear about Jake and Rachels mom last night at the party?
Person Two: Yeah, I heard he was a real Chessington World of Adventures!
Person One: I heard that too! Apparently she was screaming for the entire ride!

Get the Class mug.A game played exactly the same way as regular chess, except that both players can move as many times as they want and at the same time. It is also the greatest game ever invented.

Get the Real Time Chess mug.Slang for a really really good airplane. (I.E. dependable, reliable, cute, affordable.) Refers to the Cessna 152 model, which is one of the greatest training aircraft ever.

Get the zeta class mug.Intellectual Chess is a drunken game which entirely not based upon regular chess. The game involves taking a large knife, spraying the blade with deodorant, setting fire to it, and then throwing it to each other (NB: throwing it to each other, not at each other.) Intellectual Chess has been played only once, and nobody was hurt.
