Definitions and meanings of "Laser"

What do we mean by laser?

Any of several devices that emit highly amplified and coherent radiation of one or more discrete wavelengths. One of the most common lasers makes use of atoms in a metastable energy state, which, as they decay to a lower energy level, stimulate others to decay, resulting in a cascade of emitted radiation. noun

A beam of radiation emitted by a laser. noun

A ball or puck sent in a straight line at high speed. noun

An obsolete form of leisure. noun

A gum-resin obtained from the north of Africa, and greatly esteemed by the ancients as an antispasmodic, deobstruent, and diuretic. It is supposed to have been produced by Thapsia Garganica or one of the varieties of that plant. Also called asadulcis. noun

A device which produces an intense, usually narrow, monochromatic beam of coherent light; called also optical maser. It has various forms, and is used in various applications in science and technology. The beam is produced by boosting the majority of the electrons in specific radiation-absorbing atoms in a medium into a higher energy level, from which they are stimulated by their own emitted radiation to drop back synchronously to their lower energy level, and emit light which is in phase (coherent). noun

A gum resin obtained from certain umbelliferous plants. noun

Such a plant. noun

A device that produces a monochromatic, coherent beam of light. noun

To cut with a laser verb

To throw with laser-like precision verb

An acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation; an optical device that produces an intense monochromatic beam of coherent light noun

A device that produces a monochromatic, coherent beam of light.

A beam of light produced by such a device; a laser beam.

A laser printer.

Synonym for "cool". Used especially when one wants to draw attention to one's own dorkiness, as this term itself is dorky. For instance, one could use it to describe something which is cool only because oneself is a dork. Urban Dictionary

A technology that is useful for creating high-intensity, coherent, unidirectional light. It works like this: Atoms of a particular material are excited (given energy) by various means (usually by applying a current); when more atoms in this material are 'excited' than 'stable' a light beam is passed through the material which causes the 'excited' atoms to revert back to their 'stable' state (sometimes in stages); this stimulates the emission of additional light; the process is repeated until the light beam is amplified to the desired energy, at which stage it leaves the system. Urban Dictionary

A gun used to zap people with and shit Urban Dictionary

One of the highest adjectives in describing something completely awesome. The only thing above laser, is lasermazing. Urban Dictionary

Another word for a cumshot; ejaculate Urban Dictionary

Dr. Evil's secret invention to be used to sear the Earth. Air-quotes are to be used when saying this word. Urban Dictionary

1. A device that converts incident electromagnetic radiation of mixed frequencies to discrete frequencies of highly amplified and coherent ultraviolet, visible, or infrared radiation. 2. The only thing that trumps shotgun when riding in a car. It is the driver's final call, but otherwise if you yell laser, you ride in the passenger seat. Does not work if nobody has called shotgun yet. If you yell shotgun, you can't yell laser too. Urban Dictionary

Any tool or object that can be used like MacGyver did his Swiss Army Knife. Urban Dictionary

Means the same thing as loser, but cooler. Urban Dictionary

Noun: usu. plural, a light-colored line of skin due to overstreatching of elastic tissue of the skin due to obeisity or pregnancy;stretch mark Urban Dictionary
