Note
The -ing form carries both meanings of the verb laser. In clinics and workshops it means cutting, destroying or treating something with a laser beam, and as a gerund it can name the procedure itself (the lasering took minutes). In informal sports talk it describes a ball thrown or kicked with laser-like precision, as when a player is lasering a pass across the field. Both uses are transitive, so lasering normally takes a direct object.
