A tubular device that exhibits chemoluminescence. Often seen at clubs and raves, can be used in a variety of ways, including on the end of a string, swung in intricate ways to form fluid trails of light. A stick's construction is from clear or frosted or coloured plastic, containing a glass vial of hydrogen peroxide, which is snapped to activate, allowing the chemicals to mix. The rest of the stick is filled with a phenyl oxalate ester and a fluorescent dye that gives coloured light when mixed.
The glowstick gives off a bright light, and is cold to the touch, making it very safe. It can be used as an emergency light as they are not dependant on a power source, carrying their own.

a small plastic stick filled with goop which glows for about 6 hours. used by ravers and given out at festivals and concerts.

Amazingly, one of the most misunderstood items that can be bought at your local convince store. The actual item can be used for art forms, awesome dance moves, or a helpful survival item in the dark. The most common kind is made of a 5-6 inch tube made of frosted plastic, containing a smaller glass tube inside, each containing a separate chemical. You "crack" open the class tube on the inside of the plastic when you bend the glowstick, causing the chemicals to react within the tube, casting a glow of color that can last anywhere up to 6 hours to 10 hours. Also comes in a long, tubular type casing that when cracked, can be used as a bracelet or necklace.

Commonly seen in a rave or party type setting, the glowstick is sadly associated with drugs such as LSD, that alter your perception and cause an otherwise common glowstick to seem "fuzzy" or seem like it leaves paths in the air. While glowsticks can and are used for this reason at some raves and some parties, there are those that use glowsticks for art styles and for common entertainment, along with an emergency light source should all power suddenly go out and every battery in the house be rendered useless. Also just a fun thing to have around the house, because they commonly cause bouts of staring at the addictive glowing lights.

A person (usually feminine) who typically has a bright smile, personality, lights up the room and just glows.

A very fun thing that is commmon at raves. Comes in many colors. Doesn't last long, though

Accessory for the raver and tool for the survivalist.

Comes in many forms, but predominantly a small 4 or 6 inch stick filled with a fluorescent fluid that gives off a small amount of light for about 6 hours.

Alternatively available in thin tube form, to wear as bracelet or necklace.

Ravers use this for the the visual effect while clubbing on MDMA (extacy) or other party drugs. The drugs cause dilated pupils altering the light perception, this makes the glow stick appear fuzzy and motion-blurred.

Overall, it's a fun toy while off your face. Very handy when raving in the woods and you can bugger all once off the dance floor.

To non-pilling dope-hating fiends (the self-proclaimed normal people), it makes you look like a hippy moron that enjoys playing with a stick. The morning after, you feel that way too.

when your girl is about to make you cum, and right as you get to the climax she cracks your dick

A necessary tool of life. Often used durnig raves, dance parties and such.
