Plasma is not something that is
really defined in everyday life. In grade school, it's
briefly mentioned as a mysterious "fourth state of
matter," maybe even going as far as to say it was
something in between a solid and a liquid, but then in
the next breath, teachers are talking about blood
plasma.
