Necrosis is another form of cellular suicide, much like Apoptosis, only in Necrosis, the cell does not totally disappear. The mitochondria of the cell swell, as do all of the cytoplasmic compartments of the cell. The plasma, organelle and nuclear membranes all dissolve, and ribosomes disappear. Eventually the cell disintegrates, and leaves little bits and pieces. Very easy to recognize. Urban Dictionary

The feeling of loving someone and that love being the cause of all your pain. Despite how much you don't want to admit this love is hurting you, it really is. Urban Dictionary

This is when you have intercourse with the hole for someone's colostomy bag and proceed to smear the fecal matter on their upper lip. Similar to a dirty Sanchez. Urban Dictionary
