Let's REDEFINE this one, shall we? The accepted English defintion is: "A structure, configuration, or pattern of physical, biological, or psychological phenomena so integrated as to constitute a functional unit with properties not derivable by summation of its parts". This is adequate, however, let's also define the word historically as well. It is really a German word, literally meaning "form", defined as an organized whole in experience. The Gestalt psychologists, in about 1912, advanced the theory which explains psychological phenomena by their relationships to total forms rather than their parts. Also, this word has become useful for discussing musical terms (or a critique on music, rather) in the post-modern sense. It is the "essence", or "foreground" of any given band (or genre) in discussion.
"T. Rex surpassed it's place in the 1970's Glam Rock Movement with a cross-pollination of different musical styles,
while having an influence on pop music today that has endured far beyond bands who had more than seven chords in their entire respective repertoire(s)."

This term is used to describe a sexual act that involves one unsuspecting female and more than two males. The act begins with a guy and girl having sex in a very dark room with no vision. Once the first guy is done, he will excuse himself into the restroom and the next guy will enter without the girl ever knowing. Once again, when this guy takes care of buisness, he will then excuse himself and enter another participant or the first guy again. So the term Quick Getaway is exactly as it sounds. Commit the crime and get the hell out of there before the victim knows what happened.
