Oscillator 

An oscillator is an HFOV.
2. An oscillator is a medical device used in the hospital when a conventional ventilator isn't working, and/or the patient's lungs are to fragile to tollerate opening, and closing. It shoots several hundred breaths per minute into the patient's lungs at very small puffs, so the lungs can rest, and they don't have to open and close, and while they are resting, the patient is still being ventilated.
1. Is he on his oscillator?
2. Yes.
3. He's on the Sensormedics 3100A Oscillator.
4. All right.

Shallow Oscillator 

A person, typically on the internet, that easily and hastily changes their political and/or religious beliefs depending on what is popular and fashionable at the time. The reason for the name is to point out that the people are both shallow for lacking any real beliefs and are able to oscillate to another belief, likely and/or eventually to another.
Many people that occupy the political sphere in online politics nowadays can be correctly labeled as shallow oscillators.

Unijunction Transistor Relaxation Oscillator 

Part of a circuit formed with a unijunction transistor and a capacitor. It creates a triangle wave and can be used as a timer instead of a 555 timer.

Why exactly you would look up this "smart" thing on urban dictionary is a long mystery.
He used a Unijunction Transistor relaxation Oscillator to create a flashing light to annoy his friends while they slept.

Polarity Oscillation Orbit 

The hyper-accelerating movement of Earth's magnetic north pole due to the increased presence of densely concentrated methane in the atmosphere.

{Since the early 1800's, scientists have tracked the ongoing movement of the magnetic north pole. The Polarity Oscillation Orbit (P.O.O.) was coincidentally discovered by a globally recognized audio engineer, Sir Laramie Todd and his visionary studio lab research colleague, Duke Robert Rite of Dungville. In the early 1990s, Sir Laramie recorded a new orbital sound waveform stemming from low frequency feedback captured in a Duke Rite bass guitar track. Sir Laramie took the clip from the Duke, triangulated the distinct properties related to the frequency, velocity and peaks of the Duke's clip and recognized that feedback patterns were spontaneously and abruptly profound during the Duke's output, specifically after ingesting a Filibertos burrito and flagilating convulsively in the direction of the speaker. Through his unique study, Sir Laramie proved the effects of methane gas on microphone magnetic fields. The Duke hypothesized that too much methane, when interacting with iron, causes polar instability on a grand scale. Thus, P.O.O. was born with the rationale that human overpopulation and the extensive quantity of excrement, causes the north pole to oscillate in a predictable pattern, with velocity and speed influenced by the proportionate concentration of methane in the atmosphere.
1. The Polarity Oscillation Orbit is expected to extend into Siberia by 2040.
2. Humans are creating P.O.O. because of their poo.
3. Dude, lets dial in the bottom end of the bass recording today. Go get some Filibertos and prep yourself.

The number of years you are still sexually active
While our lifespan is the number of years we will live, our healthspan is the number of healthy years we will have and our sexspan is is the number of years we will continue to be healthy enough to continue having an active sex life.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
