| 5. | Branch Floridians | ||
|
An intellectual collective founded in 1997 that is dedicated to lateral thinking and bad taste. It is often unclear if it is a religion disguised as a joke, or a joke disguised as a religion -- much in the same vein as The Church of the Subgenius or Discordianism. They maintain an expansive website at www.branchfloridians.org and regularly put out e-zines called "The World Domination Update." The group's self-professed objective is "think for yourself!"
At first glance, the Branch Floridians appear to be an ultra-fundamentalist cult, but anyone paying attention should quickly realize this is a sarcastic fascade. Admittedly, though, it is often difficult to tell when they are being serious, and when they are joking. Such pranksterism is deliberately designed to provoke people into *thinking*. The group has no relation to MSN troll Michelson-Morley or any of his alter-ego/pseudonics. There is a member of the Branch Floridians named Reverend FairInHeight 451, and Fairinheight451 is also a name used by Michelson-Morley. This is a coincidence, though it understandably has caused some confusion among people who dislike him for his trolling activities. Michelson-Morley is *not* a member of the Branch Floridians.

| 6. | riot girl | ||
|
1. A phrase describing a prominent scene during the early 90's. It was made up of mostly women. "Riot grrl" music dealt with issues such as feminism, rape, abortion, sexuality, etc., and some girls published 'zines. However, today it has been incorrectly used by Good Charlotte fangirls to describe female fans of the band, due to a song they wrote called "Riot Girl" describing their dream girl.
2. A girl or woman involved in the movement. Also spelled "riot grrl" or "riot grrrl". Kathleen Hanna was one of the godmothers of the "riot girl" movement.
Most Good Charlotte fans calling themselves "riot girls" don't know what it actually is. |

Michelson-Morley is *not* a member of the Branch Floridians, though respects their ideas.
