Precisely how wrinkle took on the colloquial meaning of clever trick some time in the 1800s remains unclear, but it is this usage from which the above current meanings derive. Webster’s Third cites P. J. C. Friedlander’s use of the term: … a new wrinkle whereby the exhaust gases are used to spin small turbines geared direct to the propeller shaft. quantum leap A sudden enormous step forward; an unexpected discovery or breakthrough. This expression is a physics term for the jumping of an electron from one energy state to another. As used figuratively, quantum leap denotes a great and sudden change in a positive direction, often with far-reaching consequences. The ability of marine technology to take “quantum” leaps in innovation means that a laissez-faire approach to the ocean mineral resources can no longer be tolerated.

AdvancementA gift of money or property made by a person while alive to his or her child or other legally recognized heir, the value of which the person intends to be deducted from the child's or heir's eventual share in the estate after the giver's death. An advancement is not the same as a gift or a loan because the person intends that the "advance" of the heir's share of the estate be applied against what the heir would normally inherit. Although sometimes used to describe situations involving both people who have died intestate (without leaving a valid will) and people who have left a will, the term advancement should be used only when there is no valid will. The laws of Descent and Distribution regulate the distribution of an intestate's property. The term Ademption applies to lifetime gifts that reduce a beneficiary's share under a will. advancementn. a gift made by a person to one of his or her children or heir (a presumptive heir since an heir is only determined on the date of death) in anticipation of a gift from the still-living parent's potential estate as an advance on one's inheritance. Example: John Richguy is going to leave his son $100,000 under his will or a percentage of the estate on John's death. John gives the son $50,000 with the intention that it would be deducted from the inheritance. The main problem is one of proof that the advanced sum was against the projected inheritance. A person making an advancement should leave a written statement about the advancement or get a signed receipt. Such gifts made shortly before death are more readily treated as an advancement than one made several years earlier. (See: estate, beneficiary) ADVANCEMENT. That which is given by a father to his child or presumptiveheir, by anticipation of what he might inherit. 6 Watts, R. 87; 17 Mass. R.358; 16 Mass. R. 200; 4 S. & R. 333; 11 John.

2. To constitute an advancement by the law of England, the gift must bemade by the father and not by another, not even by the mother. 2 P. Wms.856. In Pennsylvania a gift of real or personal estate by the father ormother may be an advancement. 1 S. & R. 427; Act 19 April 1794, Sec. 9; Act8 April, 1833, Sec. 16. There are in the statute laws of the several statesprovisions relative to real and personal estates, similar in most respectsto those which exist in the English statute of distribution, concerning anadvancement to a child. If any child of the intestate has been advanced byhim by settlement, either out of the real or personal estate, or both, equalor superior to the amount in value of the share of such child which would bedue from the real and personal estate, if no such advancement had been made,then such child and his descendants, are excluded from any share in the realor personal estate of the intestate.
3. But if the advancement be not equal, then such child, and in case ofhis death, his descendants, are entitled to receive, from the real andpersonal estate, sufficient to make up the deficiency, and no more.
4. The advancement, is either express or implied. As to what is animplied advancement, see 2 Fonb. Eq. 121; 1 Supp. to Ves. Jr. 84; 2 lb. 57;1 Vern. by Raithby, 88, 108, 216; 5 Ves. 421; Bac. Ab. h.t.; 4 Kent, Com.173.
5. A debt due by a child to his father differs from an advancement. Incase of a debt, the money due may be recovered by action for the use of theestate, whether any other property be left by the deceased or not; whereas,an advancement merely bars the child's right to receive any part of hisfather's estate, unless he brings into hotch pot[?] the property advanced.17 Mass.
