Climacteric \Cli*mac"ter*ic\, n.       1. A period in human life in which some great change is             supposed to take place in the constitution. The critical             periods are thought by some to be the years produced by             multiplying 7 into the odd numbers 3, 5, 7, and 9; to             which others add the 81st year.          2. Any critical period.                         It is your lot, as it was mine, to live during one                      of the grand climacterics of the world. --Southey.          {Grand} [or] {Great climacteric}, the sixty-third year of             human life.                         I should hardly yield my rigid fibers to be                      regenerated by them; nor begin, in my grand                      climacteric, to squall in their new accents, or to                      stammer, in my second cradle, the elemental sounds                      of their barbarous metaphysics.         --Burke.

A weapon which throws or propels a missile to a distance;             any firearm or instrument for throwing projectiles by the             explosion of gunpowder, consisting of a tube or barrel             closed at one end, in which the projectile is placed, with             an explosive charge behind, which is ignited by various             means. Muskets, rifles, carbines, and fowling pieces are             smaller guns, for hand use, and are called {small arms}.             Larger guns are called {cannon}, {ordnance},             {fieldpieces}, {carronades}, {howitzers}, etc. See these             terms in the Vocabulary.                         As swift as a pellet out of a gunne When fire is in                      the powder runne.                              --Chaucer.                         The word gun was in use in England for an engine to                      cast a thing from a man long before there was any                      gunpowder found out.                           --Selden.          2. (Mil.) A piece of heavy ordnance; in a restricted sense, a             cannon.          3. pl. (Naut.)

It             burns without ash, with explosion if confined, but quietly             and harmlessly if free and open, and in small quantity.             Specifically, the lower nitrates of cellulose which are             insoluble in ether and alcohol in distinction from the             highest (pyroxylin) which is soluble. See {Pyroxylin}, and             cf. {Xyloidin}. The gun cottons are used for blasting and             somewhat in gunnery: for making celluloid when compounded             with camphor; and the soluble variety (pyroxylin) for             making collodion. See {Celluloid}, and {Collodion}.

See under {Deck}.          {Gun fire}, the time at which the morning or the evening gun             is fired.          {Gun metal}, a bronze, ordinarily composed of nine parts of             copper and one of tin, used for cannon, etc. The name is             also given to certain strong mixtures of cast iron.          {Gun port} (Naut.), an opening in a ship through which a             cannon's muzzle is run out for firing.          {Gun tackle} (Naut.), the blocks and pulleys affixed to the             side of a ship, by which a gun carriage is run to and from             the gun port.          {Gun tackle purchase} (Naut.), a tackle composed of two             single blocks and a fall. --Totten.          {Krupp gun}, a wrought steel breech-loading cannon, named             after its German inventor, Herr Krupp.          {Machine gun}, a breech-loading gun or a group of such guns,             mounted on a carriage or other holder, and having a             reservoir containing cartridges which are loaded into the             gun or guns and fired in rapid succession, sometimes in             volleys, by machinery operated by turning a crank. Several             hundred shots can be fired in a minute with accurate aim.             The {Gatling gun}, {Gardner gun}, {Hotchkiss gun}, and             {Nordenfelt gun}, named for their inventors, and the             French {mitrailleuse}, are machine guns.          {To blow great guns} (Naut.), to blow a gale.

gritch /grich/   [MIT] 1. n. A complaint (often caused by a    {glitch}).   2. vi. To complain.   Often verb-doubled: "Gritch    gritch".   3. A synonym for {glitch} (as verb or noun).          Interestingly, this word seems to have a separate history from    {glitch}, with which it is often confused.   Back in the early 1960s,    when `glitch' was strictly a hardware-tech's term of art, the Burton    House dorm at M.I.T. maintained a "Gritch Book", a blank volume,    into which the residents hand-wrote complaints, suggestions, and    witticisms.   Previous years' volumes of this tradition were    maintained, dating back to antiquity.   The word "gritch" was    described as a portmanteau of "gripe" and "bitch".   Thus, sense 3    above is at least historically incorrect.
