GPS

[Sarah]

Stands for Global Positioning System. GPS is a satellite navigation system used to determine the ground position of an object. GPS technology was first used by the United States military in the 1960s and expanded into civilian use over the next few decades. Today, GPS receivers are included in many commercial products, such as automobiles, smartphones, exercise watches, and GIS devices.
The GPS system includes 24 satellites deployed in space about 12,000 miles (19,300 kilometers) above the earths surface. They orbit the earth once every 12 hours at an extremely fast pace of roughly 7,000 miles per hour (11,200 kilometers per hour). The satellites are evenly spread out so that four satellites are accessible via direct line-of-sight from anywhere on the globe.
Each GPS satellite broadcasts a message that includes the satellites current position, orbit, and exact time. A GPS receiver combines the broadcasts from multiple satellites to calculate its exact position using a process called triangulation. Three satellites are required in order to determine a receivers location, though a connection to four satellites is ideal since it provides greater accuracy.
In order for a GPS device to work correctly, it must first establish a connection to the required number of satellites. This process can take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the strength of the receiver. For example, a cars GPS unit will typically establish a GPS connection faster than the receiver in a watch or smartphone. Most GPS devices also use some type of location caching to speed up GPS detection. By memorizing its previous location, a GPS device can quickly determine what satellites will be available the next time it scans for a GPS signal.
NOTE: Since GPS receivers require a relatively unobstructed path to space, GPS technology is not ideal for indoor use. Therefore, smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices often use other means to determine location, such as nearby cell towers and public Wi-Fi signals. This technology, sometimes referred to as the local positioning system (LPS), is often used to supplement GPS when a consistent satellite connection is unavailable.

[Golden Pussy] Syndrom --- An affliction that strikes some women whereby the woman thinks that her sexuality is worth more than it really is. Common symptoms include trying to get a man to buy her a bunch of [expensive shit] or pay all her bills for the [privledge] of having sex with her.

[Cami]

A wonderful device, surpassing the [directional] capabilities of [the compass], finally enabling many women to drive freely. This device follows a series of similar advancements, such as [power steering], power brakes, and the mini-van. This has begun to overthrow the logical reasoning that when a male and female are in the same vehicle, any male of driving age should be driving the vehicle unless intoxicated or otherwise unable to drive the vehicle.

[Luis Fok]

[Acronym] for [go pound sand].

[PussyCat]

Gold [Pussy Syndrome]. A condition that can develop in woman as a result of prolonged exposure to situations where the ratio of men to women is unusualy low, such as some schools, professions, or the military. Common symptoms include unreasonable [high standards] in women as well as a corresponding [drop in] male standard levels.

[Tina]

GPS = [Golden Pussy Syndrome]. A woman that thinks her pussy is [GOLD]. More valuable than it is. A [stuck up bitch]!

[Vania]

Girls prepatory School in Chattanooga TN, is a institution for young prudes to attend for a greater education. They are below the typical standards of beauty throughout the world. For [normal girls] they have a cycle once a month where they menstrate through the vaginal tube. However these girls have this cycle year round which allows them to have a higher [bitchyness] level. By the way their menstration attracts bears. They are also referred to as [GPMS] girls. This stands for girls- PMS. Stay away.

[Marquetta]

[Ginger Penis] Syndrome
When one has orange pubic hair, and a small [freckled] penis that cannot be exposed to sunlight due to [paleness]

[Greta]

A digital [crutch] used by people who proudly claim to be [handicapped] with a poor [sense of direction] or a poor mental map of their surroundings.

[Ernesto]

[Girlfriend Positioning System]. When your dude feels [the need] [to let] you know where he is at every moment of every day.
