A german word used in various situations to express that something is different than usual. Direct translation of it would be mass and the usage isnt that different. It can also be used similar to wicked.
Usually it is used without much sentence surrounding it, as it is an expression of surprise, awe, amazement, shock etc.
Most of the times, the 'e' is stretched.
If anything, german verbs like "verteilt" (distributed) or "gekriegt" (got) are added.
It can also be used if there's lots of sth around.
In rare cases, it has been used as replacement for a "Hello" or "Hi".

Witnessing a hard football tackling, you'd stand up yelling:
"MASSEEEE!"
After a pub fight were you had to take the hits, you'd say:
"Masse gekriegt!"
After a pub fight you won, you'd say:
"Masse verteilt!"
If you enter a pub with a lot of fine looking girls in it, you'd go:
"Masse an mädels!" or just "Masse!" with a glance in your eye so your mates would know what your on about.

The Singular, Redemptive, Eternal, and Expiatory Sacrifice of Christ on Calvary being made present on the Altar of Sacrifice. The Mass is re-presentation what he offered to the Eternal Father 2000 years ago in a far corner of the earth and applying the fruits and merits to you in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist.

The purpose of this social class is to be controlled by extremelly small groups of people through propaganda, they can hold any kind of ideas, they use the masses as means of power in the whole system.
