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.

the cascine

The largest temp agency in Florence (Italy). Also a park. They only offer one job, depending on your gender: a prostitute or a drug dealer.

10 years ago, I went to the cascine broke and homeless. Now I've got my own whorehouse and bring in $50,000 a year.

Cassone Roll

A roll of transfats that forms around the belly in the shape of a life preserver. This is commonly referred to as a muffin top. The client normally wears shirts a few sizes too small to display the dimensions of the roll. The roll is also decorated with many stretch marks and craters.

"Look at the stretch marks on my Cassone Roll."

Ratfucker

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.

Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.

countrypolitan

Term used to describe someone who is a mix of both rural (country) and urban (metropolitan) lifestyles/upbringings. He/she is typically equally comfortable in both settings and is able to seamlessly slip back and forth between the two, appreciating the characteristics of each.
