1. A term used to describe the positions of aircraft approaching final approach courses for parallel runways from opposite sides of the final approach courses. For example, an aircraft approaching the final for runway 27R from the NORTH and an aircraft approaching the final for runway 27L from the south would be on opposing bases. Base legs refer to the portion of the pattern prior to turning onto final. 2. The name of a podcast about air traffic hosted by AG and RH.

1. I was flying into Greensboro and the awesome air traffic controller had me aimed directly at the aircraft to the parallel runway; I am glad they know how to apply the separation rules for opposing bases so we didn't get too close!

2. I was listening to "Opposing Bases" yesterday and really enjoyed the show!

Opposing Force

Often defined as the best Half-Life 1 expansion. It involves you playing as the "opposing force", more commonly known as the HECU, as a soldier named Adrian Shephard. The expansion adds several new weapons as well as new enemies alongside the ability to lead squads of soldiers. The expansion has a few events that crossover with the original Half-Life, however for the most part Gordon isn't seen. After the game, Adrian is placed into stasis by the G-Man, who forgets where he put Adrian and as such Valve will not make another game with Adrian Shephard.

Half-Life Opposing Force, a great expansion but a shame that it's titular character was forgotten forever.

Opposing Opinion Pussy

Someone that shares their personal opinion online, and then deletes any comments or messages from people with an opposing opinion. If they really start to get attacked for their opinion, they might turn off the comment section or delete the post all together.

Vanja posted about why 13 Reasons Why is an awful show, and when I said it wasn’t, she deleted my comment instead of accepting my opinion and responding or letting others respond to it. What an opposing opinion pussy.

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.

I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
