In telecommunications, squelch is a circuit function that acts to suppress the audio (or video) output of a receiver in the absence of a sufficiently strong desired input signal. carrier squelch is unlocked and will let any signal in. Selective calling locks out all signals except ones with the correct code. In non-critical uses, selective calling can also be used to hide the presence of interfering signals such as receiver-produced intermodulation.
slouch. A period of time (usually 2-4 days) when a group of people (usually 2-6 people) stay in a confined space. Activities in this space include but are not limited to:playing video games, watching TV, listening to music, etc. The only rule in a slouch is no sleeping. The room generally has a plethora of TVs, at least one refrigerator, microwave, hotplate, computer(with internet access), and gaming consoles hooked up to all of the TVs. In order to get the full slouch feeling you need to have online gaming, music playing all the time, a TV for news (in case of a nuclear holocaust).
