(FINANCE) a situation in which an investor stands to gain if a particular investment instrument (stocks, bonds, gold, real estate) goes up in value. One "takes a long position" with respect to a particular item.
There are several ways of taking a long position; an obvious way to go long is to actually own the thing itself. Supposing you are taking a long position on Intel common stock (NASDAQ:INTC), here are some other ways:
* Buy a call option for INTC, especially with a strike price higher than the current spot price.
* Write a put option for INTC, committing yourself to buy more INTC stock if the price goes down over the near term
* Buy a futures contract for INTC at spot (or more).
CAVEAT LECTOR: there are many _potential_ definitions of long position; I have given the broadest one available.

Get the fetal position mug.A spurious ping on the gaydar. Those utterly heterosexual folks who consistently (and generally unknowingly) trip queer folks into thinking they are also gay or lesbian.
Although not in any way limited to this list, heterosexual men who are
1) faintly swishy in behaviour or
2) well-groomed and attired or
3) remarkably toned and muscular or
4) wearing a luxurious mustache along with a military fade haircut
may all end up as false positives.
Although not in any way limited to this list, heterosexual women who are
1) faintly masculine in behaviour or haircut
2) prone to sensible shoes or flat-heeled boots
3) often in charge
4) not drowned in cosmetics
5) softball players
may all end up as false positives.
The term carries no pejorative weight. Gaydar is a finely-calibrated instrument, can be easily thrown off, and no blame is assigned either to the hapless straight or to the wondering queer when a false positive is discovered.
(slang term, queer subculture, noun)

Get the Missionary Position mug.Speedbump position
A type of sex position, that's designed to target the g-spot, which involves a person to lay flat on their stomach with a pillow or bolster underneath their hips, which acts like a 'speedbump', and the person penetrating them would enter from behind them while kneeling, using the person's hips or the surface underneath for support.
The person on top can kneel either in between the person on the bottom's legs, which will push them further apart allowing deeper penetration or straddle them for a less intense angle.
