SOOM

abbreviation of Smell Of Old Man. A musty smell common to elderly otherwise functioning men suspected to be a combination of denture breath, urine, & clothes that haven’t been cleaned lately and a decreased sense of smell with age which lowers self awareness.

When meeting with the professor I’m distracted by the SOOM

His SOOM is worse since his wife died.

Gun like object (GLO)

According to Wikipedia a gun is “a device or ranged weapon designed to throw a projectile using pressure or explosive force. The projectiles are typically solid, but can also be pressurized liquid, or gas. Solid projectiles may be free-flying or tethered”. A gun like object or GLO is any fictional device in a video game, video, graphic novel or story that fits this definition. It can also be an actual object that is not a gun but has some resemblance to a gun.

A player pushes one button to aim the gun like object (GLO) at an opponent and another to fire it.
The “noisy cricket” of the movie “Men in Black” is a noted “fictional firearm”, or GLO.

Police have mistakenly shot people who pull phones from a pocket, mistaking the phone for a gun like object.

exactly like a mix tape only on CD.
