What is Tube?

"The Tube" was made up by Brandon DiCamillo, who frequently talks about it on Radio Bam. The Tube is a long, clear plastic tube. It is used in a competition where two people, preferably men, insert an end into each of their anuses. Then they both defecate. The winner is determined by whose feces comes out the other side.

Tube - what is it?

Phrase meaning - Fully reachable through on-line chat, email, and phone. Typically used in an collaborative work setting to denote that you will be out of office, but easily reachable. Originating in the southeast, it may be a derivation stemming from the old office mail suction tubes - "able to be reached through the tubes".

I'm working from home today "in the tube".

What does "Tube" mean?

Similar to saying something is tubular. Tube is a shortform of the latter. Means what you are talking about is very unique, special, exciting, or good.

For example, one could use "Tube" in place of cool in almost any given situation:

"That new gyroball that Chris got is pretty 'Tube' eh Matt?"

Tube cannot replace cool in the following situation:

"The temperature of the air is cool" - meaning chilly or cold

Tube - definition

Correcting 2 previous definitions of electron tube used in guitar amps and high end audio components: The basic elements of electron tubes are correctly described in #6, but the writer is somewhat mistaken in saying that heat is not converted into electricity. In fact the role of the heater is to heat the cathode to incandescence so that under sufficient local field strength (voltage, e.g.) it emits electrons which travel to the plate. The control element(s) (grids) between cathode and plate control the flow of electrons by increasing or decreasing the potential near the cathode. The grids are porous so electrons can pass thru them on the way to the plate, which is maintained at a high positive potential (100-300 volts or more) relative to the cathode so as to attract the electrons. The signal to be amplified is applied to one of the grids, such that its small current variations are greatly amplified by its effect on the emission of electrons from the cathode. Elements other than the cathode are not intentionally heated, their temperature is not critical to the proper operation of the tube.
