Man I hate Spectrum.

Spectackle

A spectacular tackle involving intense contact, incredible effects, and stopping of the opposing player.

“Tenard Jackson spectackled Dallas Clark at the Bucs 48, which was promptly followed by the crowd's "OOOOHHHH"”.

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR)

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, most commonly known as NMR spectroscopy or magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), is a spectroscopic technique to observe local magnetic fields around atomic nuclei. The sample is placed in a magnetic field and the NMR signal is produced by excitation of the nuclei sample with radio waves into nuclear magnetic resonance, which is detected with sensitive radio receivers. The intramolecular magnetic field around an atom in a molecule changes the resonance frequency, thus giving access to details of the electronic structure of a molecule and its individual functional groups. As the fields are unique or highly characteristic to individual compounds, in modern organic chemistry practice, NMR spectroscopy is the definitive method to identify monomolecular organic compounds.

Person 1: Do you think our laboratory needs an NMR-spectrometer?

Person 2: I've heard they're unbelievably expensive, but Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is an essential analytical procedure for sure .

spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch

An easy way to remember "The Sign of the Cross" in Christianity, more specifically, Catholicism.

John couldn't remember which order to sign his cross, and Tim said, "Heck man, that's easy. Go like this, spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch." He then demonstrated.
