Diffusion

What do we mean by diffusion?

The process of diffusing or the condition of being diffused. noun

The scattering of incident light by reflection from a rough surface. noun

The transmission of light through a translucent material. noun

The spontaneous intermingling of the particles of two or more substances as a result of random thermal motion. noun

The spread of linguistic or cultural practices or innovations within a community or from one community to another. noun

In psychology, the law, formulated by A. Bain, that “according as an impression is accompanied with feeling, the aroused currents diffuse themselves freely over the brain, leading to a general agitation of the moving organs, as well as affecting the viscera.” noun

The act of diffusing, or the state of being diffused. noun

A scattering, dispersion, or dissemination, as of dust or seed, or of animals or plants. noun

Propagation or spread, as of knowledge or doctrine. noun

Diffuseness; prolixity. noun

Conduction of heat. noun

Synonyms Spread, circulation, expansion, dissemination, distribution. noun

The act of diffusing, or the state of being diffused; a spreading; extension; dissemination; circulation; dispersion. noun

The act of passing by osmosis through animal membranes, as in the distribution of poisons, gases, etc., through the body. Unlike absorption, diffusion may go on after death, that is, after the blood ceases to circulate. noun

The act of diffusing or dispersing something, or the property of being diffused or dispersed; dispersion noun

The scattering of light by reflection from a rough surface, or by passage through a translucent medium noun

The intermingling of the molecules of a fluid due to random thermal agitation noun

The spread of cultural or linguistic practices, or social institutions, in one or more communities noun

Exchange of airborne media between regions in space in an apparently random motion of a small scale. noun

The act of diffusing or dispersing something, or the property of being diffused or dispersed; dispersion.

The scattering of light by reflection from a rough surface, or by passage through a translucent medium.

The intermingling of the molecules of a fluid due to random thermal agitation.

The spread of cultural or linguistic practices, or social institutions, in one or more communities.

The gradual spread and adoption of goods or services.

Exchange of airborne media between regions in space in an apparently random motion of a small scale.

The movement of water vapor from regions of high concentration (high water vapor pressure) toward regions of lower concentration.

A modified down tube for a water pipe that instead of just having one large hole opening into the water, instead the glass comes to a closed tip, along which are several smaller holes. This supposedly cools the smoke before being inhaled by diffusing (spreading) the smoke over a larger area. Urban Dictionary

The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Urban Dictionary

If something is diffuse, it is very spread out or scattered. Urban Dictionary

The movement of molecules and ions from a high concentration area to a lower concentration area down the concentration gradient as a result of their random movement Urban Dictionary

Moving Venmo balance from one account to another back and forth until all of you have the same balance and no one wants to put their card down anymore. Urban Dictionary

Transitive verb 1a : to pour out and permit or cause to spread freely b : extend, scatter c : to spread thinly or wastefully 2: to subject to diffusion; especially : to break up and distribute (incident light) by reflection intransitive verb 1: to spread out or become transmitted especially by contact 2: to undergo diffusion Urban Dictionary

A piece of automotive bodywork that is meant to deliver downforce by channeling air under the car, especially under the midsection and rear, so that it creates a low-pressure system under the car which sucks the vehicle to the ground. This increases traction and stability at high speeds. These are especially prevalent on high-performance sports cars, supercars and most racing cars when putting spoilers that create similar downforce would just cause too much drag. Urban Dictionary

An emo-punk band. Most of their songs revolve around being hated by everyone. They sound like Linkin Park but with a twist of emo in it. I don't see how that's punk, honestly. Punk's about rising up against the system, doing what you feel like doing and not crying about your ex-girlfriend or being pushed around by everyone. See Simple Plan. Urban Dictionary

The female part of a bong's downstem that you put the actual bowlpiece into that specifically has around 10-15 small holes blown near the end of the tube that goes into the water. Contrary to what the dipshit who posted the first definition thought, these holes are not drilled or cut with a laser. I don't know where he got his information, but i have made many diffused downstems in my day, and i certainly do not own a laser or a glass drill bit. I own a torch, and the holes ARE BLOWN LIKE ALL OTHER FORMS OF GLASSWARE INTENDED FOR SMOKING PURPOSES!!!! What a shocker, huh? That glass blowing would involve blowing. The science behind it is that you crank up the oxygen in a oxygen/propane torch so that the flame becomes concentrated, and ultra-hot. Then you heat up a small area that you want one of the holes to cover, and then blow into the tube until the area bubbles up, then pops like gum. You repeat this until there are a sufficient number of holes for there to be little to no drag when hitting the bong that the downstem is intended for. Used properly, this form of downstem enables the smoker to take bigger hits as the smoke is cooled and filtered more efficiently. The only time a laser is used is for slitted diffusion openings, not holes. This is only found in very upscale bongs like ROORs. Urban Dictionary

The spreading of a cultural trait (eg, material object, idea,or behavior pattern) from one society to another Urban Dictionary
