respiration

Essential life process where oxygen reacts with glucose from the food that you eat to provide your body with energy. The two by-products of this process are carbon dioxide, which is exhaled along with the rest of the harmless gases that entered your lungs but did not diffuse into your blood, and water.

Not to be confused with breathing, which is how the oxygen enters the body.
If you cannot breathe, oxygen cannot enter your lungs and therefore cannot diffuse into your blood. With no oxygen your cells cannot respire and will therefore die.

Respiration:

Oxygen + Glucose -> Energy + Carbon Dioxide + Water

respiratory therapy (RT)

A smoking break; smoke break; to smoke.

A phrase used to ask someone if they wanna go for a smoking break with you (in a cooler way).

Used to combat the notion that smoking breaks are 100% negative occasions, since the respiratory therapy they offer is often more than 100% beneficial to the recipient.
Andy: "Hey Chris, RT?"

Chris: "Sure, I'm totally down for some respiratory therapy right now."

Tom: "You two do realize the lung cancer risks right?"

Andy: "Are you kidding me? Respiratory therapy (RT) is totally good for you."

Chris: "Yup RT'ing 2-3 times a day actually improves your mental health and sharpness."
