A musical instrument consisting of a number of glasses partially filled with water. The glasses are filled to different levels, hence the production of different notes when the player rubs their rims with a moistened finger. The sound thus produced has a haunting, otherwordly quality. It is most famously called for in the "Mad Scene" from the opera LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR by Donizetti, although that part is now usually played by a transverse flute.
Opera fan A: What's your favourite recording of LUCIA?
Opera fan b: The one with Beverly Sills, because it uses the original scoring for glass harmonica.

Get the purple hammock mug.The process of laying a length of toilet paper directly from the left side of the toilet seat to the right (or vise versa) so that the toilet paper lies right beneath the anus, thus resembling a hammock; once this is accomplished one defecates on said 'hammock' to test the aim of ones anus and the strength quality of toilet paper used.
I was hammocking at the Wal-Mart today; their toilet paper was single ply so it didn't last very long. I wish I would have doubled up.
