creaning

Kicking a player off of a team because you think you have a better one to take his place.

With zero scholarships available, but a 0 star prospect verballing, it was time for the IU basketball program to do some house Creaning by kicking off a kid who was told he would be the next D-Wade only a year earlier.

changing the channel

When two exceedingly close people are talking and they change topics abruptly or speak in partial sentences but at all times know exactly what the other is talking about without losing a beat.

These two keep changing the channel but their highly attuned bat-like radar lets them stay totally in touch!

color changing glass

CCG (as it's known) is made by small pieces of metal (usually silver and/or gold) that are held in the flame of the torch until vaporized (often called 'fuming'). The glass is rotated in this vapor stream until a fine layer of the vaporized metal is visible on the surface of the glass.
After this, clear glass is applied (often in 'dots' and 'lines') to 'encase' the vaporized metal in between layers of glass. There are many techniques and methods of applying the fumes and clear glass making a myriad of different colors, and endless types of patterns that one can come up with. The colors produced with fumed metals are best when they are translucent, vibrant, and reflective. As the pipe darkens with use, the colors (many barely visible) become darker and much more conspicuous, thus causing the appearance of much richer 'color change' (the glass itself doesn't actually change colors though).

Color changing glass is used in a variety of products such as glass vases, oil lamp bases, perfume bottles, containers, smoking accessories, and so forth.

regional cleansing

The business process of terminating an entire geographic location. Sometimes done to move people to corporate headquarters, of as part of a bigger plan to outsource jobs, or a cost savings plan to move jobs to a cheaper region (e.g. India).

The first thing Jeremy did after joining the company, was to perform "regional cleansing" of the Redmond, Washington development group. Jeremy showed up Monday and told everyone that their jobs were being eliminated. They had one month to look for new jobs in other corporate locations.

economic cleansing

The methods used by government or those in power to make those pesky poorer people get up and move from the geographic place they live. It could be higher property assessments, highways through poor neighborhoods, higher costs for food, shelter, and even water. If poor people can't live in a certain area then economic cleansing has occurred. It is often subtle and no one ever admits to doing it. It is the final market solution to poverty in any growth oriented prosperous community.market forces ethnic cleansing gentrification progress

The city of Leander engaged in economic cleansing when it raised city water rates so high that poor residents couldn't afford the water bill. The Health Dept. said they can't live in a trailer, where they lived for 30 years, without their city water hookup. They must move. They have been economically cleansed by the city council.
