Um...shouldn't "ariel" be "aerial"? --[[Special:Contributions/AutoFire|trans]][[User:AutoFire|Resident Transfan]][[User Talk:Autofire|form!]]

*You tell me! Several versions in the dictionary. --[[User:TK|şŷŝôρ-₮K]][[User_Talk:TK|/Ṣρёаќǃ]] 13:30, 4 October 2007 (EDT)

**Actually there's only one version in the dictionary, and its not the one you used. What you thought you were typing was [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/aerial "aerial"]. See, [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ariel "ariel"] is a gazelle found in the Middle East and North Africa, and a Shakespeare character. Also, it's the girl from The Little Mermaid.--[[User:Bobomb|Bobomb]] 18:18, 4 October 2007 (EDT)

Word

Bobomb:

In the context of religion, the '''Word''' (or '''God's Word''') (for American [[Christians]]) usually refers to "the Word of [[God]]", particularly the [[Bible]] or the [[New Testament]].

In the context of American slang, "word" is often used as a term of agreement, an urban version of "hear, hear".

Also, this article is full of words, which are units of sounds or symbols intended to communicate a specific linguistic label or concept.

"Word" can also be shorthand for "conversation"; a popular English euphemism is "May I have a word with you?"

Goth (subculture)

Bobomb: "Zombie-like behavior"??? I don't think so

'''Goth''' is a term often given to a style of music, a type of dress, and a subculture; all of which were originally derived from bands such as Siouxsie & The Banshees in the 1980's. Goth fashion typically consists of a conspicuous affection for black clothing, black hair dye, pale skin, and striking application of cosmetics, though this general fashion style is not exclusive to goths nor necessarily used by all goths. It is often labeled as [[Satan]]ic or anti-[[Christian]] in nature, although a large Christian Goth community exists, and Goths are not necessarily anti-Christian.

Historically, a Goth was a member of a [[Germanic]] tribe, which invaded the [[Roman Empire]] from the east between the third and fifth centuries AD. The eastern half of the tribe, the [[Ostrogoths]] eventually founded the [[kingdom]] of [[Italy]], while the [[Visigoths]], their western cousins, founded the kingdom of [[Spain]].

Bobomb:

'''Bipedal''' is a term used to describe [[animal]]s that walk on only two [[leg]]s. [[Human]]s and most [[bird]]s (excepting those from the ''Neornithes'' subclass ''peneformes'', or three-legged order) are examples of bipedal animals.
