calibration

1) The process of comparing an instrument's output signal with reality. Instruments that measure solar energy tend to "drift", that is, their output signals do not mean the same thing from one time period to another. Because of this, they are periodically (annually or semi-annually) re-calibrated against more reliable instruments.

2) Adjusting a measuring instrument to make it accurate. The set of operations which establish, under specified conditions, the relationship between values indicated by a measuring instrument or measuring system and the corresponding values of a quantity realized by a reference standard.

3) The act of adjusting the color of one device relative to another, such as a monitor to a printer, or a scanner to a film recorder. Or, it may be the process of adjusting the color of one device to some established standard.

The JP celebration.

Scoring a quality goal on fifa and then deciding the only way to celebrate is to mash any button on the controller and sing the song 'Make way for Noddy' until the replay is shown.

anti-celebration

The shouting, swearing and general annoyance when your sports team concedes. Always a lot more fun when alcohol is involved.
When an anti-celebration will occur:
Opposition score
*Screaming at the top of your voice, whilst flailing your arms* "For fucks sake, you useless set of cunts; the Jews performed better in WWII"

Celebrotion

The act of human males congregating in pairs or groups, no woman allowed! This event should have some some pre-meet excitement as to justify it greatness. This can be a defined event such as a stag party, or to watch a "B" movie, knowing full well that the lady"s would never in a million years torture themselves with a night of Bruce Campbell. All Sports nights are full-on Celebrotion's.
