Any substance which is a solute that lowers the freezing point of a solvent. Water(Hydrogen oxide) is the usual solvent. The solute is usually sodium chloride, calcium chloride, ethylene glycol(toxic), propylene glycol(non-toxic, safe), 1,2-Butyleneglycol(nontoxic) glycerol(nontoxic), ethanol, and a tick protein called IAFGP. Ticks have a protein called IAFGP that is triggered during winter months, which protects them from the cold. The freezing point of the solution gets lowered. Freezing point depression is a colligative property.
I put propylene glycol antifreeze in my car and it resisted freezing in the winter. The dog accidentallydrank some propylene glycol but turned out fine. If it would have been ethylene glycol, the dog would have died.
A gene that allows ticks to produce an antifreeze protein to resist frostbite and lower the freezing point of blood. The ticks have a protein called IAFGP that is triggered during winter months, which protects them from the cold. Mice that were injected with the protein were able to not get frostbite at subzero temperatures. They then genetically engineered the mice and breed them to have babies with the gene and they produced the antifreeze protein, IAFGP. The mice resists frostbite. One day, some humans could genetically engineer themselves with the antifreeze tick gene. That way, there's no more frostbite at subzero temperatures(below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, 0 degrees Celsius) until much lower temperatures(like 5 degrees Fahrenheit, -15 degrees Celsius or something). Eventually, the technology will be affordable to all.
Tyler: I just genetically engineered myself with the antifreeze tick gene. Now I don't have to worry about frostbite.
Antifaggot is a term against ANTIFA a group that attacks random people and calls them nazis. But ironically being a faggot and is ironically a hypocrite.
Hey look, there's a antifaggot throwing an M80 at an old woman.
Nickname given to bales of marijuana thrown overboard or out of airplanes. Origin is reportedly from members of the US Coast Guard in the area of Southern Florida.
A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
