The most general and culturally loaded term for any handheld directed-energy weapon—from the Buck Rogers toys of childhood to the classified prototypes of black budgets. Ray guns carry the weight of science fiction's promises and warnings: the clean kill, the silent beam, the weapon that doesn't need bullets. In reality, the challenges of building a practical ray gun are enormous—power, cooling, beam control, atmospheric absorption—but the concept persists because it represents something fundamental: the dream of perfect weapons, of violence made clean and precise. The ray gun is the weapon we've always wanted and always feared, the technology that could end war or make it unimaginably worse.
Example: "He'd grown up with toy ray guns, so when he saw the classified schematic, it looked almost familiar—not because he understood it, but because the shape of a Ray Gun is burned into our cultural imagination, real or not."

Get the Charlie Ray mug.A fictional plot device used in poorly-written erotica to explain why a character in a sex story that's the Ice Queen one minute is suddenly, unexpectedly an out-of-control nymphomaniac the next. The term "gay ray" for male-on-male stories is analogous.
The expression that some character must have been "hit by a Martian slut ray" is usually pejorative, and infers the sudden transition is somehow an unforgivable hole in the plot for which the author(s) must be slut-shamed at once.

From an actual post on SuperStories.Net: "Eugene took aim and pulled the trigger. A beam of light shot out of the Slut Ray and hit the jogger in the back. She slowed to a stop as a warmth spread from the spot the beam hit her. Her mind became clouded as her body changed. Her sports bra stretched around her expanding breasts. Her ass swelled and stretched her spandex running shorts..."

Get the slut ray mug.Ray, the friend you prey you never make. you’d be unlucky to catch him after a breath routine, with breath so toxic it scares away women. Speaking of women, they fear the absolute creep and disgusting human being with this name. Ray is the kind of person that you could question if he’s gay or a female undercover, so sensitive you could say he has feelings made of glass. Ray is more of a fly rather than a friend, annoying and can’t seem to get rid of, you’ll need breaks from Ray because he’s quite possibly the most annoying “friend”.
