term. A
gun, after it fires, is said to go "out of

battery," which is sitting the way you see a
gun in photographs. It is used as a
slang term to indicate somebody who is now
fixed up; he will be all

command they're
stuck on and gets them back to
battery, or let's them get the laugh off their chest and then gets them back into the
group again-zong, zong, real quick.
