bumpfire 

Verb/

Bumpfire, or bump firing*, is a technique used with semi-automatic firearms to replicate full-automatic fire, using the recoil and weight of the firearm to engage the trigger. This technique can be used with any semi-automatic firearm by affixing the trigger with a stationary object and pulling the handguard forward to fire a round.

Bump fire stocks, an aftermarket product which replaces the pistol-grip furniture of a rifle to accommodate bump firing, have recently come under scrutiny with their involvement in the Las Vegas massacre, although previously available for many years in the US.

Bump fire is viewed by many enthusiasts as a novelty, ineffective for combat or self-defense due to the uncertainty of the technique and inaccuracy of sustained rates of fire.

The consequence of a hot curry.
The origin of "bumfire" was from a variation on a Shakespeare sonnet by my friend Paul, in relation to another friend, barling. "Shall I compare thee to a khazi, say? Thou art more curried, and more turbulent. Rough winds do shake the Barling cheeks of gay, and bumfire's wrath doth linger in the gents.."

Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
