color changing glass

CCG (as it's known) is made by small pieces of metal (usually silver and/or gold) that are held in the flame of the torch until vaporized (often called 'fuming'). The glass is rotated in this vapor stream until a fine layer of the vaporized metal is visible on the surface of the glass.
After this, clear glass is applied (often in 'dots' and 'lines') to 'encase' the vaporized metal in between layers of glass. There are many techniques and methods of applying the fumes and clear glass making a myriad of different colors, and endless types of patterns that one can come up with. The colors produced with fumed metals are best when they are translucent, vibrant, and reflective. As the pipe darkens with use, the colors (many barely visible) become darker and much more conspicuous, thus causing the appearance of much richer 'color change' (the glass itself doesn't actually change colors though).

Color changing glass is used in a variety of products such as glass vases, oil lamp bases, perfume bottles, containers, smoking accessories, and so forth.

chagrin

Stephenie Meyer's pet word that she abuses regularly in her Twilight (Twatlight) "saga".

"Oh, Edward, I'm sorry...please forgive me." I didn't deserve him; he was too perfect for me. In heart-wrenching chagrin, I turned away to stop him from seeing the tears of chagrin in my chagrined eyes.

He turned my face back towards him with a velvet movement of chagrin. "Oh, Bella, my love, there is nothing to forgive!"

"But there is!" I cried in chagrin. "Oh, Edward, can't you see that I simply don't deserve you?"

"Oh, Bella, you silly girl. I love you!"

"I love you too!" I chagrined.

"Oh, Bella..." my perfect Adonis chagrined.

"Oh, Edward..." I chagrined.

"Bella..." he chagrined.

"Edward..." I chagrined.

"Bella..." he chagrined.

"Edward..." I chagrined.

Krogan Charging

A funny internet meme derived from the Mass Effect 2 video game character Miranda Lawson. A Krogan is a type of sentient alien species similar to bipedal Rhinos and particularly love to headbutt, ram, or charge their enemies in the game. The term/phrase, however, is sharply overused by the character whenever this happens.

Miranda Lawson: "Krogan Charging!!! Watch the Krogan! Krogan Charging!!!"

The phrase or call, was featured on T.V. advertisements, and featured people yelling "Hey Charger!" at all Charger drivers. The phrase and accompanying "V" sign with fingers is still given today amoung Chrysler Valiant afficianados.

Upon seeing a Valiant Charger, one would yell "Hey Charger!" accompanied by the "V" sign.

Changing Flavours

A term that was first brought up in a classic Joey Diaz story from the Joe Rogan Podcast. How one would describe someone who just did a fart that is so putrid, so foul, so unprecedented, that it can cause one's eyes to tear up.

"I blew a fart that was so bad, the teachers were going, 'oh my god he's changing flavours!'"
