Taser

They are hand-held weapons that deliver a jolt of electricity — up to 50,000 volts — from up to 10.6 metres away. The shot can penetrate up to five centimetres of clothing.

It stuns the target by causing an uncontrollable contraction of the muscle tissue. He/she is immobilized and falls to the ground — regardless of pain tolerance or mental focus.

TASER stands for Thomas A. Swift Electric Rifle, from the Tom Swift series of children's novels written in the early 20th century, including Tom Swift and his Electric Rifle. The real stars of the series of science-fiction novels were potential advances in technology.

from "cbc news"

Canadian police say Tasers have saved 4,000 lives since police forces started using them in this country in 1999.

taser

Although the word "taser" is not an acronym, one particular model is labeled as: TActical System of Electrical Response.
Sort of completes the pantheon of great acronyms. Or somthing like that.

Scenario 1-
Police Officer: "Halt eveil-doer, lest I be forced to use my TActical System of Elictrical Rosponse upon ye!"

Criminal: "Huh?"

Scenario 2:

Police officer: "Freeze scumbag!!" -sound of taser firing-

Criminal: "AAAaaagghhhh!"

tasteball

A fictional sport in the real world,
but apparently is real in the mind of Homsar from Homestar Runner.com, as demonstrated in the Strong Bad E-Mail "theme park". No one knows its origins, or what sport its most related to.

"Aaaaaaaah, it's time for tasteball!"

taste it twice diet

Medically known as bulimia nervosa, when food is forcefully vomitted by an individual (effectively "Tasting it twice"); popular (and rather playful) way of referring to it in the 80's and early 90's before it was widely acknowledged as a disorder. Still used in crowds that either (A) Are ignorant to the risks or (B) Don't give a damn about the risks and regard it more as a diet.

"Jessica doesn't stick around long after dinner...and she's lookin a little skinny...guess someone's on the taste it twice diet."
