Hunh, the grey definitions up above don't even include the common phonetic terms:
adj. produced by one side of the tongue, as in various kinds of /l/ sound;
n. a lateral consonant; an /l/ sound.

But I actually dropped by here to add a new sense I just found:
n. a lateral hire, a person hired laterally (such as from a rival firm).
