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)."

Get the gestalt mug.A German girl who never looks up to someone else. Greta can be extremely stubborn and unforgiving but she is also the sweetest and most caring person some will ever meet. Greta doesn't need a lot to be happy but she often struggles with self- loving and excepting herself. Greta loves people that take the time to get to know her and look after her. Greta gets very mad when people correct her on her grammar, problems. Greta is very independent and likes to figure things out herself. If you correct and greta she will try to find any possible way she could be right. A greta is also someone that gets sad very easily. Greta may seem like a person who stubborn and tough to get to know but once she knows that you care about her she loves you to no extent. Greta could sometimes be blinded when a person like a fake friend pays attention to her.

Get the greta mug.The act of using a corner of a desk or any inanimate object to stimulate one's clitoris. The person grevstabating will try to make it look as though they are not grevstabating but anyone who is aware of grevstabation will catch on quite quickly.
" Oh sick, my teacher was totally Grevstabating all over my desk it was so obvious"
"Really I didn't know she liked to grevstabate"

Get the Greta mug.A cop with an unusually large hatred for anyone not a cop. Derived from the word gestapo now it represents all facist, fag bashing, racist, hypocritical components of law enforcement.
Hey man, sorry we're late. We got caught up with some gestapolice and they searched our car because we're black.
