You're thinking of an oration. An orgasm is a mythical ancient metal described as a golden-yellow alloy that somewhat resembled brass.

Nah, you’re thinking of orichalcum, an orgasm is the philosophical position that states that the universe and its various parts ought to be considered alive and naturally ordered

I’m sorry, but that’s organicism. Orgasm is a function describing the location and wave-like behavior of an electron in an atom.

Ah, close but that's actually Oscillation. Orgasm is when you juxtapose two concepts with opposite meanings in one word or phrase, often for humor..

Oh, but that's an oxymoron! You're thinking of a chemical process where a substance loses electrons.

No, you're thinking of oxidation
Orgasm is a citrus fruit, which is the hybrid of the Pomelo and the Mandarin, and has a colour of the same name.

no you are thinking of oranges.

an orgasm is someone who dedicates their life to the study of booby. brown booby, peruvian booby, and even abbott's booby.

No, that's an ornithologist.

An orgasm is the term used to refer to relative positions in a set.

No no, that's an ornithologist. An orgasm is when a crowd of people applaud vigorously.

Ah yes, that's it! Thanks!
