repeater

1) A device that receives, amplifies (and sometimes reshapes), and retransmits a signal. It is used to boost signal levels and extend the distance a signal can be transmitted. In radio terms, the signal is usally recieved on a input frequency and then retransmitted on a different frequency (output or direct).

2) A network device that repeats signals from one cable onto one or more other cables, while restoring signal timing and waveforms. Repeaters are the most common way to connect local networks together, and can provide either Thinwire or Thickwire connections. They are commonly used to create larger local networks up to a certain limit based on the number of repeaters and the length of the cables.

3) A device inserted at intervals along a circuit to boost, and amplify an analog signal being transmitted. A repeater is sometimes needed because the quality and strength of a signal decays over distance. Repeaters are also used to regenerate a digital signal - "squaring it" and "cleaning it up" - but not changing it. You can regenerate digital signals because technology exists that can separate the actual signal from the noise, regenerating only the signal. No technology exists that can do this with analog signals. The simplest type of LAN interconnection device is a repeater. A repeater moves all received packets or frames between LAN segments. The primary function of a repeater is to extend the length of the network media, i.e. the cable.

4) someone who is repeatedly arrested for criminal behavior

5) a firearm that can fire several rounds without reloading
The Fairfax County Public Schools use digital trunked repeaters that operate in the 800 MHz range for thier school buses.

The criminal (in your case) used a repeater to kill the police officer.

Outfit Repeater

An individual who wears the same outfit (a set of clothing) more than once. Seems to be more of a female thing because it doesn't really apply to males.
Girl 1: Hi
Girl 2: Hello...OMG didn't I see you wearing those jeans and tops last week?
Girl 1: Ummmm....I dunno.
Girl 2: OMG EWWWWWW OUTFIT REPEATER!

repetilicious

A descriptive word for the post-modern theoretical approach to music composition where repetition is used in a delicious manner. Repitition for nothing other than its deliciousness.
The end of that song, "Le 65isme," by Buck 65 is so repetilicious.

Repeating Status Syndrome

A severe illness which involves a person's myspace or facebook status to be sent repeatedly, resulting in a lengthy vertical line of the same status. This syndrome can be deadly...if you experience any of the symptoms associated with it, please see a specialist at www.myspace.com or www.facebook.com
Setting a status as:

"I'm baking a cake!"

A healthy Myspace or Facebook account would appear like this:

"I'm baking a cake!"

However, with the symptoms of Repeating Status Syndrome, it would appear like so:

"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"


etc...

report happy

Someone who reports you in a chatroom or similar, It can be understood if they do it for spamming or scamming, but they report for the tiniest little thing, even if it is not that bad, dangerous or if it was unintentional. Sometimes, after, or before reporting you, some of them like to rub it in/harrass you. Report happies are often trolls, bored users, stupid 12 year olds, or just plain assholes, usually with no life.
(on a RPG website in the glitch report section of the forum):

Guy in chatroom: Y'know, I just wanted to report a glitch on the site, you know, the webmaster was giving out special golden axes? Well I got one, I accidentaly clicked on the link again, and got a second one, is that normal?

Report Happy #1: lyk omg, you dumb ass! u wuz only suposed 2 git 1! now everybody on the fukin sight is gunna do dat! i'm am reporting you!

Report happy #2: yea, you retard, what fcking cunt. i'm reporting u too. way to expose the glitch.

Guy in chatroom: But, I didn't know...

Report Happy #3: what a waste of a 7 year account with premium and all items unlocked, and the strongest playable character... i reported him too. lol

Guy in chatroom: ...

(His account and all his years of hard work is deleted)...

...It later turns out that the site's staff has admitted it was an honest mistake, and for an apology, they let everyone keep the second item they got.
