flamer

A very flamboyant and outgoing homosexual male you can see and/or smell a mile away. Recognized by his lisp, the way he walks, hand movements, loud speech, bright colored clothing (especially pink), stylish wardrobe, very feminine facial features, his knowledge of women things and knowing how to communicate with them, very open about sex especially his own, and just generally annoying behavior. says things like “you go, girl” and "honey." You will most likely find them in bars/nightclubs especially gay bars, working in women’s apparel shops, working as a hair dresser, working as a fashion designer or as an interior decorator.

It’s safe to say that a flamer is usually gay, but some are not. You can’t judge a book by its cover. Flamers who are not gay are probably a “metrosexual.”

Indianoplace

A derogatory term to refer to the city of Indianapolis, Indiana. This nickname is not entirely without merit, however. Although it's a comfortable, Midwest city with a steadily-growing economy, a growing population and an increase in ammenities, it is perceived as being Dullsville to the Coastal cities. It is easy to see why. It lies in the middle of nowhere--in the flat Corn Belt with no mountains, no rivers or even navigable ones, no culture, no lightlife, no high-density developement, no greenspace, no opportunites to get out and enjoy nature, not a huge number of suburbs, no high-tech jobs and abysmal public transportation. Rumor has it that Indy is talking of creating lightrail in the future, but don't count on it. Too many people in the area are too antiquated and narrowminded to accept changing anything.

Indianapolis is making valiant efforts to reinvent itself and has received national recognition for many of its developments. But it has a long way to go before being considered a hip place and a world-class city that it calls itself, for some reason. Yes, it has made improvements but may never shake off its image. You can't help your geography.

Indianoplace gets a bat rap from outsiders who don't know that the city actually has more pros than cons.

Scottsdale

“The west’s most western town.” A very nice community in Arizona and a suburb of Phoenix. Population of 230,000. Contrary to popular belief, Scottsdale is NOT rich. Beverly Hills, Malibu, the Hamptons on Long Island and a penthouse on Park Avenue in New York are rich, but NOT Scottsdale. Yes, it is a very nice, growing community, but there are plenty of communities in this country that have much more wealth per-capita than Scottsdale could ever dream about, which makes it only upper middle-class. The only people who think Scottsdale is rich are either Scottsdale residents themselves who don’t know any better and haven’t been anywhere else, or people from other parts of the country who only follow the hype. Most of Scottsdale’s “rich” live in “North Scottsdale,” (still part of the city) and are so high and mighty that they look down on someone from even “South Scottsdale,” which is still very nice in and of itself.

Scottsdaleites are known around the Phoenix area as being haughty, materialistic, fake and shallow. The men judge their worth based on the size of their penis, the size of their SUV, the size of their bank account, the size of their home and the size of their woman’s boobs. The women do not fair any better. They are often stuck-up tramps who think money, sex, materialism and partying are the only things that count in this life. Most women from Scottsdale would NEVER considering dating/marrying a man who is only your average Joe and didn’t have what they did. And a Scottsdale resident would easily look down on someone who shopped at Walmart (although I'm anit-Walmart myself).

Scottsdale people can take their money and their fancy cars and stick them where the sun doesn't shine. Don't bring your arrogance and money around these parts of town 'cuz people will jack you for it.

deadbeat dad

One of the lowest forms of life on Earth. An incompetent, milquetoast loser. A father who refuses to be a man and take responsibility for caring for his children. If he’s divorced, he refuses to pay child support. In the meantime, his children and wife become resentful toward him.

The justice system and prosecuting attorneys are right in wanting to incarcerate any deadbeat dad. They should be locked up with the key thrown away until they take responsibility for the children they have brought into this world.

starter marriage

Refers to a married couple who probably does not plan on staying together: a "warm up" to a future relationship for both partners. It focuses on convenience instead of commitment.

A starter marriage is the dumbest thing ever. It's an oxymoron becuase the word MARRIAGE infers staying together permamantly. If you don't plan on staying together, why get married? Just break up and stop wasting each other's time for real relationships.

in love

An infatuation. You can "fall" out of it just as fast as you can fall in it. A phrase that is often misunderstood today and used very loosly to the point of nearly loosing its meaning. Contrary to poplular belief, being in-love IS possible without the same affection in return. Just because someone doesn't love you back means you are not actually in love? Hogwash. You CAN indeed love someone unconditionally without being loved return. Being "in-love" does not occur by accident, because love is a choice and an action rather than an emotion, like most people believe. Howver, being in-love or loving a person romantically and unconditionally has a few symtoms:

1. getting butterflies in your stomach or nausea when you see the object of your infatuation.

2. your pulse races when you are with or near that person

3. you cant stop thinking about them

4. the can be in your dreams

5. you can't stop smiling when thinking of the person

6. you imagine having children with that person, perhaps to the point of thinking of names.

7. you imagine yourself going to the altar with that person

8. you have a longing to be with that person

9. you get clumsy when thinking of them

10. you think you will do anything to be with that person

11. you have pet names for each other.

Being in love is the best thing that happens to a person BUT can turn into the worst thing that happens to you when it doesn't work or goes bad.

sin

What seperates human beings from God. A flaw of the human race. The thing that seperates humans from animals. The root cause of ALL the problems in the world—death, disease, sickness, starvation, war, addictions, personal struggles, physical struggles, failed relationships, etc. The Bible says in Romans 5:12 that sin entered the world by Adam, the first of all human beings, and that death and corruption by separation from God spread to all of mankind as a result. This is called “original sin.” The affects of the Fall and sin are numerous and far reaching. Sin has affected every aspect our being and has affected the quality of our lives on earth and our eternal destiny. One of the immediate effects of the Fall of Adam and Eve is that mankind became separated from the perfect, eternal God. They became ashamed and fearful before Him and man has been hiding from God ever since. This is a fact because let’s face it, we are NOT born with the desire to obey God---we want to do our own thing in our own way. Because of the Fall, mankind and all creation including plants, animals, micororganism, etc inherited death. Romans 6:23 states that because of sin, death is an inevitible reality and no one is immune. Only through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross will everything be restored.

Another effect of the Fall is that humans have lost sight of the purpose for which they were created. Man’s chief end and highest purpose in life is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever (Romans 11:36; 1 Corinthians 6:20; 1 Corinthians 10:31; Psalm 86:9). Selfishness is the essence of the Fall, and what follows are all other crimes against God. In all ways sin is a turning in upon oneself, which is confirmed in how we live our lives. We call attention to ourselves and to our good qualities and accomplishments. We minimize our shortcomings. We seek special favors and opportunities in life, wanting an extra edge that no one else has. We display vigilance to our own wants and needs, while we ignore those of others. In short, we place ourselves upon the throne of our lives, usurping the role that belongs to God.

Adam and Eve really ruined things for us. Adam’s rebellion against God resulted in our lost innocense and a darkened mind for us. Without the supernatural regeneration by the Holy Spirit, through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross, all men would remain in the fallen state of sin and destined to an eternal hell separated from God forever. But thanks to His grace, mercy and loving-kindness, God sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross and take the penalty of our sin, reconciling us to God and making eternal life with Him possible. Only through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross will everything be restored. Jesus himself, at Judgement day, will cast sin, death, Satan and his followers into hell and put an end, once and for all, to this war.

If you are foolish enough to not believe that sin exists, then you are a moron. Just look at the world around you. Sin is the cause of everything bad you see on television, in the news, see in the newspaper and hear on the radio. Sin is a very REAL problem. Sin is the reason Christ had to go to the Cross.
