Walking Distillation

This term refers only to experienced chemists, as it requires a great amount of skill and experience in order to achieve it. This term consists of purifying a liquid by using heat and cooling while walking in the city of Thessaloniki in Greece. This phenomenon is extremely efficient and very popular in the surroundings of Davitel Tobacco Hotel in Thessaloniki.

Sure, Stephen Hawking was a great chemist, but he was never able to achieve a walking distillation, as he was not able to walk in the streets of Thessaloniki.

Grossman Short Path Distillation

An apparatus used in the chemistry lab to distill small quatities of distillate. Identical to a short path distillation with the addition of latex tubing (carrying cold water) wraped around the bend in the vacuum adapter to aid in condensation of the vapors. Used in lieu of a simple distillation where distillate would be lost on the surface of the condenser. Also used due to convenience and ease of set-up. Can be called GSPD or GSP Distillation for short.

Should I use a simple distillation?

No, the Grossman Short Path Distillation is the way to go!

Vocabulary Distillation

The process in which a word (usually a dialect-exclusive) that initially meant something broad eventually distills down to a specific meaning or part.

Person 1: It's kind of crazy how Vocabulary Distillation turned the word "Gyatt" from meaning someone attractive to specifically someone's ass.
Person 2: It truly is.
