The amount of time estimated by an experienced trumpet player of how long they could last playing music containing certain notes.
For most people, Middle Gs (second open fingered lip position) are usually easiest and can be played for absolutely ages, however, top Gs (fifth open fingered lip position) are fairly difficult to tone anyway, so the time is strongly decreaced to about one hour or so. Bottom Gs (bottom 1 and 2 fingered lip position) help get the lips tighter again after not having played for a while (eg. a break in a rehersal).

Referring to women who are sexually or romantically attracted to other women. Applies to both lesbians and bisexual women, as it is only the same-sex attraction that matters, not any other attractions the women may have.
Originates from the Greek poet Sappho, a bisexual woman from the Isle of Lesbos, from which we get the term lesbian.
