    <noun.act>


    Russian roulette \Rus"sian roulette\
    (a) An act of bravado played by loading one bullet into one
    chamber of a revolver in which the cylinder has five or
    six positions, spinning the cylinder (thus moving the
    bullet randomly to one of the six positions of the
    cylinder), pointing the gun to one's head, and pulling
    the trigger. If the bullet is in firing position, the
    "player" is usually killed. Such a "game" may be played
    on a dare, or, in some places, as part of a gamble.
    (b) (Fig.) Any dangerous act resembling Russian roulette in
    the acceptance of a high risk of serious negative
    consequences, usually unnecessarily. ``The congress is
    playing Russian roulette with the economy by enacting
    such large tax reductions without spending cuts.''
