Meanings
-
(uncountable) A nonflammable gas commonly used in surgery and dentistry for its anaesthetic and analgesic effects and in motorsport for bursts of added power.
On social media and beyond, many have taken to using the brand’s name in a more colloquial fashion, with “Galaxy Gas” being used as a catchall for nitrous oxide inhalants at large, regardless of whether they are actually Galaxy Gas products or not.
