    Moist

    Discharge

    Ullage.


    The amount by which a container falls short of being full.

    Why Ullage is important? Keeping free space, or ullage is necessary to ensure that the gas or vapor being transported is always in contact with the pressure relief valve. Secondly, this specific space is left to allow for the expansion of liquids or gasses during transportation.

    Yeah I've bever understood the revulsion to the word moist.

    A moist chocolate brownie is lovely.

    A moist gaping azzhole is horrible. The word moist isn't the problem.

    Meme


    In his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, British scientist Richard Dawkins defended his newly coined word meme, which he defined as "a unit of cultural transmission." Having first considered, then rejected, mimeme, he wrote: "Mimeme comes from a suitable Greek root, but I want a monosyllable that sounds a bit like gene." (The suitable Greek root was mim-, meaning "mime" or "mimic." The English suffix -eme indicates a distinctive unit of language structure, as in graphemelexeme, and phoneme.) Like any good meme, meme caught on and evolved, eventually developing the meaning known to anyone who spends time online, where it's most often used to refer to any one of those silly captioned photos that the Internet can't seem to get enough of. (Merriam-Webster Dictionary)


    Well, fancy that!
