Na'Vi

Na'Vi or "The People"
Indigenous alien race from 2009 science fiction film Avatar, who lives on a lush Earth-like moon known as Pandora. Pandora orbits the planet Polyphemus and, which is subjected to human imperialism.
The Na'Vis are intelligent race, apparent by their ability of learn and speak human language. Their culture revolves around connecting and "borrowing" the energies from nature. Their primary weapon is elegantly crafted bow and arrow. They worship only one deity known as Eywa, their mother goddess. The Omaticaya clan lives in Hometree, or Kelutrel in Na'Vi. Fate of this Hometree becomes a central issue and the climax of the film. There are numbers of other outlining clans.

Na'Vis are feline humanoids. Their skin is luminous blue. They also have lemur-like tails which helps them balance. Males can grow as tall as 3 meters, or around 10 feet. Adult females, slightly shorter.
The most startling ability the Na'Vis have is that they can create a symbiotic bond with organisms using their tiny appendages contained inside a single tentacle, which is covered inside their long ponytail. This appendages can connect with certain specimen of trees and faunas. Once connection is established, they can work and communicate with each other. The film Avatar was directed and written by director James Cameron. The title derive its meaning from the word "avatar" which means "a movable icon representing a person in cyberspace or virtual reality graphics."
Tsun oe ngahu nìNa’vi pivängkxo a fì’u oeru pllte’ lu.

"It’s a pleasure to be able to chat with you in Na’vi."

"Dude, those Na'Vis are cool, man."

avatar blues

-noun

a condition that afflicts certain people after seeing James Cameron's Avatar (2009), causing depression and even suicidal thoughts, usually because these people only just came out of their caves and never smelled the roses.

the film's extravagant use of CGI to create Pandora and its inhabitants, the Na'Vi, created immediate followings and wishful thinking.
Usually, the people who have avatar blues think their life is crappy compared to the world of paradise on Pandora. Also, just look at those indigenous race of beautiful aliens that can download crazy stuff into the trees (like computer!). Who wouldn't want to be an avatar just for one day, racing gracefully through the fluorescent jungle and flying around the Hallelujah Mountain.

However, an average person might think that these people need to get it into their head that this is fantasy for a reason: it's for entertainment. That world is unattainable, and killing yourself will not magically bring you at the gates of Avatar heaven. So suck it up and move on with your lives.

Hallelujah Mountain

A fictional floating mountain featured in James Cameron's 2009 film Avatar. Located on the moon Pandora, it is where avian species known as Ikran primarily roost.

It is customary for the members of the Na'Vi tribe to go to Hallelujah Mountain and "bond" with one of the Ikrans in the form of rite of passage.

An element known as Unobtainium is what make Hallelujah Mountain and its surrounding mountains float.
In January 2010, it was announced from China that one of its mountain, which was said to be an inspiration for Hallelujah Mountain, had been renamed "Avatar Hallelujah Mountain" (阿凡达-哈利路亚山) in honor of the film.

Avatar is serious business.

athetits

-noun

1. corruption of a word "atheist", probably first used in a information sharing website known as Yahoo! Answer (citation needed). the origin of the word is murky at best, but it probably derived from some n00b creationtits accidentally misspelling "atheist", thus creating failmeme in process.

it is now used here and there, exclusively on R&S board, as a jeer or insult at atheists.

this word is one of those cases where it can be used as both plural and singular, except if you know someone that has only one tit, then in that case call him or her athetit.
OMG, those athetits always rant about religion here on R&S!

What's the official name of this decade?

"What's the official name of this decade?" was a serious business that occurred toward the end of the first decade of the year 2000, caused by people's indecisiveness with coming up with the "official" not so lame, catchy label before end of the year 2009.

Several contenders that arose:

The New Millennium
The Bush Years (accompanied by facepalm micro)
The Naughties
The Naughts
The Oughts
The Singles
The Zeros
The Ohs
What's the official name of this decade? Besides "The Naughties"?

I bet my wallet that the people reading this in a few years will be calling this decade The Twenty Hundreds. Just sayin'.
