1) A small hutch with foil decoration, low lighting and a light music background for the mouse who has had a few too many microdots. Featured in the first series of the popular cult tv show, The Mighty Boosh.
2) A place or room with a relaxing and chilled atmosphere.
1) "He's had a gram of speed and two microdots. Quick, get him in the Ambient Hutch!"
2) "Welcome to the ambient hutch! We have drinks and beanbags a-plenty."
A form of intimidation or psychological abuse, sometimes called Gaslighting. where false information is presented to the victim, making them doubt their own memory, perception and quite often, their sanity. The classic example of ambient abuse is to very subtly toy with someone's environment in a way that you know they're sure to notice, but then deny knowing anything about it, and to explain that they "must be imagining things" when they challenge these changes. Doing this on a long term and/or methodical basis (as opposed to the occasional practical joke) with the intent to cause distress and harm would be considered ambient abuse.
A more psychological definition of ambient abuse is "an increasing frequency of systematically withholding factual information from, and/or providing false information to, the victim - having the gradual effect of making them anxious, confused, and less able to trust their own memory and perception.
Your spouse begins telling you things that never really happened. For instance, he says that last week he told you he was going to go to the bar with his buddies this Monday night, but you never remember him telling you that.
Or maybe your boss gets angry because you didn't prepare the report he asked you to. When you remind him that he usually prepares that particular report, he snaps that he told you to take care of it a few days ago because he was too busy. However, you know he never asked you to do so.
Both of these could be considered ambient abuse.

When you have taken an amount of drugs and you feel like you are having a party on the inside, however on the outside you're feeling very calm. During this time, emotions start to disappear and talking becomes very difficult.
Mostly occurs on MDMA

Dark ambient is like a marriage between ambient and industrial. Is naturally dark and much more interesting than regular ambient. Doesn't feature any cheesy synths, unless made by an ex black metal musician (that oftenly makes people bitch about whether the music is dark ambient or not; it usually is not). Usually doesn't feature any guitars. On those rare cases when it does (like in drone doom), it's definitely non-conventional use.
Much influenced by "musique concrete", dark ambient features recorded sounds, oftenly of non-musical nature.
Dark ambient can have various esthetics. Moaning and chanting, chain rattling (no, that's no ghost) raison d'etre-like stuff, radioactive droning of Fallout soundtrack, heavy pounding sounds of mechanisms, crazy shamanic drum-machine sounds, abrasive noise fragments - all these can make up different moods in dark ambient.
People who don't get dark ambient music, are found scrolling through the tracks in their desperate attempt of finding "where does at least SOME music start?"
There's also a tendency among some cultist freaks to puke up some really lousy synth pads and moans, put runes or pentagrams and some pseudo-religious texts on an album cover and call it "dark ambient", or "pagan/ritual/black dark ambient", or "neo-satanic nazi anti-nazi superficial industrial death dark ambient". Trust me, you don't wanna listen to that crap.
Don't get scared away by Deutsch Nepal's track names. That guy is a sick bastard, but he still makes some good dark ambient.

Kind of ambient / space music, but darker, sometimes scary. Something like black metal to metal.
artists: Ah Cama-Sotz, Iszoloscope, Tor Lundvall, Nordhaunt
radio stations: soma.fm - drone zone / doomed, bluemars.org - cryosleep
Some of black metal artitis are also making dark ambient.

An aura surrounding a self-purported straight male that alerts your spidey sense that his ass is really gay.
I don't care how many times Henry says he's straight, everyone knows he's lying! He's dragging ambient gaiety around like Pig Pen's cloud of funk.
