Thermal Grease: Thermal conductive grease commonly sandwiched between a computer processor and a heat sink.
Why you need to know this: This explains why your laptop gets hot and burns your ugly ass pants.
Extremely scientific explanation: Thermal paste has to have the right amount otherwise it become inefficient at it's job. Thermal paste is made of millions and millions of Keebler Elves. They collect the heat in little zip lock bags from your processor have to carry it all the way to the heat sink. On most computers, the heat sink is above the processor giving the elves an uphill battle in transferring heat. If there are too many elves for the task, they get in each other's way resulting in the zip lock bags ripping or just not closing even though you've sealed like 4 times now. All the heat escapes from those damaged zip locks and fall back down to the processor. That's why processors can overheat. That's also why the bottom of the laptop can get really hot when the heat hits the processor and splashes everywhere.
