cascode

A means to lower the input capacitance of an amplifier by having a grounded cathode (emitter, source) amplifier directly drive a grounded grid (base, gate) amplifer. Such a configuration of field-effect transistors or FETs is sometimes called a superfet. The principle action of this combination is to eliminate the Miller effect, which reduces the gain of a grounded cathode amplifier, particularly when a large plate resistance is used. An improperly biased or miswired cascode is called a cascrode.
I thought the cascode configuration would reduce the input capacitance and raise the gain, but it looks like I got a cascrode.

Cock-up Cascade

A unbroken chain of bad decisions, usually resulting in the creation of something that is bad in theory and even worse in practice. First used by video game reviewer Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw.
Yahtzee: "Homefront: The Revolution is a perfect example of a cock-up cascade."

Cacodemon

A big floating monster that appears in Doom, Doom II and Doom 3. It's red, with horns and a huge mouth. It's also one-eyed. It moves slowly and its only attack is throwing a white fireball at you. They aren't very tough, but if you don't move they'll toast ya.
In Doom 3 they look different, smaller, and their attack is more powerful.
I hit that switch and two cacodemons appeared.

Cascade Middle School

Pretty much the Jerry Springer show if you ask me! Stupid idiots there are either wanting to be ghetto, are already ghetto, or snakes so cut yo grass.

Resonance Cascade

A fictional phenomenom where waves of energy combine in a continual loop (cascading). In essence, the energy multiplies out of control. See Resonance Reversal.
I never thought I'd see a Resonance Cascade, let alone create one!

Cascader

A cascader is a male who is not hygiene literate in that he does not know that he needs to clean in between his butt crack. Instead, assuming that soapy water cascading over his ass is enough to do the job. A worse variant of cascader will also neglect to pull back his foreskin to give the knob a clean. Males like this are the most likely reason that women hate giving head or rimjobs (because they can smell old poo poos wofting up from the booty hole and/or smegs). Neither parties of a straight couple has the awareness that men aren't supposed to smell that bad - unlike gay guys who usually learn early in life to clean that shit up. Although much rarer, females can also be cascader.
1:

Girl: Hey mum, does dad ever ask you for a BJ? Darren always asks me but it's so gross because his junk smells like shit.

Mum: Oh honey that's because Darren's a cascader. I told you not to marry him. He wasn't raised right.

2:

Bro 1: Hey bro, you got any tips on getting shit stains out of my underwear and towels? I always get them even right after I shower!

Bro 2: Bro, you know that's not normal right? Do you clean in between your ass cheeks when you shower?

Bro 1: Lol no way bro that's gay!

Bro 2: Lol no it's not bro. You're just a nasty cascader. It's no wonder Sara broke up with you.

Cascade High

Cascade High is full of thots that fuck all the guys on the football team that stay on the bench. The guys are garbage soundcloud rappers that claim they 46 and sip lean at school, and fuck on freshman. We have smoke alarms go off cuz people love to Juul and smoke marijuana in the bathroom
i’m a freshman at Cascade high talking to Freddy Guralt.
