gas
     n 1: the state of matter distinguished from the solid and liquid
          states by: relatively low density and viscosity;
          relatively great expansion and contraction with changes
          in pressure and temperature; the ability to diffuse
          readily; and the spontaneous tendency to become
          distributed uniformly throughout any container
     2: a fluid in the gaseous state having neither independent
        shape nor volume and being able to expand indefinitely
     3: a volatile flammable mixture of hydrocarbons (hexane and
        heptane and octane etc.) derived from petroleum; used
        mainly as a fuel in internal-combustion engines [syn: {gasoline},
         {gasolene}, {petrol}]
     4: a state of excessive gas in the alimentary canal [syn: {flatulence},
         {flatulency}]
     5: a pedal that controls the throttle valve; "he stepped on the
        gas" [syn: {accelerator}, {accelerator pedal}, {gas pedal},
         {throttle}, {gun}]
     6: a fossil fuel in the gaseous state; used for cooking and
        heating homes [syn: {natural gas}]
     [also: {gassing}, {gasses}, {gassed}, {gasses} (pl)]
