asthma attack

A severe episode of the respiratory disease asthma; generally consisting of coughing, wheezing, pressure in the chest, and shortness of breath. Often brought on by an asthmatic's trigger which can be irritants in the air(tobacco smoke,pollution, strong fumes), exercise, allergens (pollen, dander), cold air, etc. Those who have been diagnosed with the disease often have emergency medication in the form of an inhaler on hand to help hinder any sudden attacks. In severe cases, an asthma attack can result in the need for urgent hospitalization. These attacks should under no circumstances be taken lightly, as they can become life-threatening.

One of Bob's asthma triggers is vigorous exercise. Bob joins the basketball team. On the first day of practice, he was so excited that he forgot to take his inhaler beforehand. The coach had the team perform harsh running drills and Bob soon had an asthma attack.

Astroturf

Pretending to be a grassroots movement, when in reality the agenda and strategy are controlled by a hidden, non-grassroots organization. In this manner, a faux show is presented, consisting of robotic individuals pretending to be voicing their own opinions.

Moms Demand Action is astroturfing for Bloomberg and all of their followers are clueless housewives with too much wine.

Astrid is the true definition of amazing. She always has a smile on when it’s the most toughest days. With a great GPA and teacher’s favorite, she knows how to school, but it’s hard on her. She might smile but nobody really knows what’s going on behind the scenes. Astrid is always a great friend and keeps her family close. Family means everything to her. She pulls a lot of boys because she is so beautiful and attractive. With a nice ass and good face, all the boys want her! Everyone needs an Astrid in their life

Guy: OMG Astrid is coming to the party!
Second Guy: OMG I can’t wait she’s amazing!
