BCE

BCE = Before Common Era.
CE = Common Era.

These two abbreviations have been used as replacements for B.C. and A.D.
Something I find funny is that while these abbreviations have been chosen as non religious alternatives, one could use the word BCE to mean, Before Christian Era, and CE to mean Christian Era.

Video Spamming

When people post videos for a word on Urban Dictionary that has absolutely nothing to do with the word or phrase.
Urban Dictionary's new add video function has produced a lot of video spamming.

Eddy: Son of a bitch! I'm getting tired of seeing those same vids for every word I look up.

Free Syrian Army

An armed mob of mercenaries and hoodlums with ties to Al-Qaeda.
American 1: It's great to see people rise up against their oppressors man. The U.S. should help the Free Syrian Army at all costs!

American 2: What are you, a fool? We have a $16 trillion debt to worry about and you want to spend more money to aid these Syrian rebels who we know nothing about? U.S. intervention will be viewed by the Arab world as occupation - not liberation. For once, lets stay out of everyone else's problems and think of ways to improve our own country. All of our efforts in the Middle East have only put radical jihadists into power.

A latmiyat (Sometimes spelled latmiya, latmya, latmaya, or latmia) is an Islamic lamentation or eulogy. It is to express the sad emotion through poetry and of the chest beating. Clapping is a sign of joy and the thumping of the chest is a sign of sadness. Muslims remember what happened to Imam Hussain and the sacrifice he has given for his lord 1400 years ago.
