nitrous
Giggly dental sedative
Nitrous refers to nitrogen compounds, particularly nitrous oxide—a colorless gas used as an anesthetic in dentistry and as a propellant in whipped cream canisters.
In automotive contexts, nitrous (short for nitrous oxide systems) boosts engine power: The car runs nitrous for drag racing.
Recreationally, nitrous means inhaling the gas for its brief euphoric effect: doing nitrous at a party.
