cascode

A means to lower the input capacitance of an amplifier by having a grounded cathode (emitter, source) amplifier directly drive a grounded grid (base, gate) amplifer. Such a configuration of field-effect transistors or FETs is sometimes called a superfet. The principle action of this combination is to eliminate the Miller effect, which reduces the gain of a grounded cathode amplifier, particularly when a large plate resistance is used. An improperly biased or miswired cascode is called a cascrode.
I thought the cascode configuration would reduce the input capacitance and raise the gain, but it looks like I got a cascrode.

EVIL CASANOVA GIRLS (ECG's)

(also used as ECG's in short)
1>. females whose sole mission in life is to introduce disgusting sexual innuendos in your regular day to day conversation including ones at events where it may be deemed highly inappropriate such as funerals, management review meetings and conversations with your grandmother

2>. females who like to ambush unsuspecting innocent males with their flirtatious vibes, traumatizing the poor victim in such intensity that the victim shuns all future advances from the fairer sex. This is mostly likely to be followed by drunken orgies and monkey dancing, in celebration of another successful mission
Loser Professor 1 : *sob* I couldnt concentrate on my mensuration lecture today. Whenever I said mensuration, i swear i cud hear tittering at the back of class

Loser Professor 2 (sympathetic) : Oh dear! That class does have too many Evil Casanova Girls (ECG's)

Loser Professor 1 : And i have got 3 more lectures to go! Oh the horror of it!

Loser Professor 2 : But you better brace up. Wait till you come up against the ECG ambush!

Loser Professor 1 : Noooooooooo...Why my? Why me GOD!

Canacorpia

A veritable feast composed entirely of food from cans. Generally consists of random beans, corn and other random items from the back of the cupboardthrown together in an often surprisingly delicious combination.
Wow, that's quite the impressive canacorpia you've made there, Mike. Haven't been to the store in a while, eh?

Casanogame

Casanova + No Game = Casanogame.

When a someone tries to be a Casanova *romantic* and fails horribly, they have then proven that they have No Game.
This guy came up to me at the bar *nice smile* made eye contact, started to open his mouth to talk - nothing - and walked away.

When I first seen his smile, I thought 'here comes a Casanova,' until he couldn't find a single thing to say.

Now, he'll forever be that Casanogame guy to me.
