An enormous pot of RAM where the quantum pattern analysis of the state of every atom in one's body is held during the Star Trek transporter process.

Naturally you know another definition that isn't on my list.

And yep, "buffering". People used to joke because nobody knew what that was and it seemed goofy to put in media players, but now it's practically its own thing.

technically, you don't add the buffer to the solution, the buffer is a solution that's pH doesn't change much when acids or bases are added.
