Computer


Definition:

  • (n.) One who computes.

  • (20) Computed tomography does not allow differentiation between these lesions and surrounding normal tissues.

Slab


Definition:

  • (n.) A thin piece of anything, especially of marble or other stone, having plane surfaces.
  • (n.) An outside piece taken from a log or timber in sawing it into boards, planks, etc.
  • (n.) The wryneck.
  • (n.) The slack part of a sail.
  • (a.) Thick; viscous.
  • (n.) That which is slimy or viscous; moist earth; mud; also, a puddle.

Example Sentences:

  • (5) Through small and large acts of deprivation and destruction we follow the process: the removal of hope, of dignity, of luxury, of necessity, of self; the reduction of a man to a hoarder of grey slabs of bread and the scrapings of a soup bowl (wonderfully told all this, with a novelist's gift for detail and sometimes very nearly comic surprise), to the confinement of a narrow bed – in which there is "not even any room to be afraid" – with a stranger who doesn't speak your language, to the cruel illogicality of hating a fellow victim of oppression more than you hate the oppressor himself – one torment following another, and even the bleak comfort of thinking you might have touched rock bottom denied you as, when the most immediate cause of a particular stress comes to an end, "you are grievously amazed to see that another one lies behind; and in reality a whole series of others".
