contacts
1)*predominant usage of the word*
Contact lenses, AKA small pieces of plastic (which these days are usually pretty soft, as compared to the older,
stiffer "hard" contacts) which are basically stuck on your eyeball as a replacement for glasses. They have grown in popularity in the last several years, to the point where many people have them because they a)find them better than glassesor b)think they'll look cooler without their glasses.Watching people put in contacts is rather gross, and some people will tell you they hurt a lot or aren't worth all the trouble they cause. But many others love having contacts and would never go back to
wearing glasses.2) people you contact for information (similar to sources)

The most annoying and
painfull thing on the planet. You practically poke your eye our just to get them in, then 12 hours later you have to
get them out of your
bloodshot eyes. Major pain in the ass.
Yet I perfer them over glasses.

Aviation term: a verbal queue expressed by the pilot of a propeller-driven aircraft lacking a starter to a mechanic positioned forward of the engine, indicating that the pilot has connected the main electrical circuit of the aircraft via a switch in
the cockpit, and that
the mechanic should manually rotate the
propeller in order to start the engine.
Example:
"When Lt.
Rickenbacker engaged the main switch of his
S.P.A.D. fighter, he shouted 'Contact!' to his mechanic to crank the
propeller."

A replacement term that can always be used instead of "
high five," "
pound" etc.
"Contact" works in any situation, e.g. if the person does not have
five fingers, or uses another part of their body.
