gray market

Halfway between the white market (completely legal) and black market (completely illegal). The gray market sells products which are legal to own, but can be used illegaly or are illegal to use completely.

In Virginia, police radar detectors are gray market items because it is legal to own one, but illegal to actully use it.

blue chip

A high-quality, relatively low-risk investment; the term usually refers to stocks of large, well-established companies that have performed well over a long period.

I just put $500 on some good GE blue chip stock.

white noise

(Repeater Term) is a scientific term used to describe a spectrum of broad band noise generated in a receiver's detector and sampled to control the receiver's squelch. This term is often incorrectly used in repeater work to describe the sounds heard when the received transmission is noisy and hard to understand, usually attributed to a weak signal and the repeater receiver limiters are not engaged.

Many people do not understand the correct usage of 'white noise'
