What is Laser?
1.
Light Amplification through Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
Mr. Arnold: So, who's gay enough to know what 'LASER' stands for?
Crazy Hobo: Oooo--Ooo, me! Raises hand
Mr. Arnold: Yeeess? Raises eyebrow at Hobo

3.
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.
To understand how a laser works you need to learn quantum mechanics and atomic and nuclear physics.

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.

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.

person 1: god damn it.
