emission²
noun emissions
- A show; a program. All too often, such shows result in destroying any idea that the topic just _could possibly_ be serious. I also discussed with gothic friends, telling they once were interviewed by people claiming to be creating an emission about gothics... just to discover later that the real topic was sects!
