A real original. She was making music before Janis Joplin, Joan Jett, Patti Smith, Chrissie Hynde... hell, before everyone! She was originally born in Poland, escaping the holocaust and moving to New York's lower east side. She led Goldie and The Gingerbreads, and was in Ten Wheel Drive until 1971, when she started making her own solo albums. She's still never recieved her due.
Even if you've never heard her music, you should know who Genya Ravan is.
Joplin has nothing on Genya.

Get the Genya Ravan mug.To "go indian" is for a Native American to act how "indians" would when they'd hunt or fight. SOMETIMES involves a couple drinks, and things that are sharp, hard, or they smash.
Fine displays of this behavior is shown in Dances with Wolves, Last of The Mohicans, movies with wild fight scenes, and some real live people. The people often scream too (Not in pain).

1. I'll go indian on you.
2. The place is totally wrecked. They went indian.
3. Steve from The Outsiders is a good example of "going indian". The screaming, fighting, and the look on his face. And he's not even brown!

Get the go indian mug.The very state of a native american being proud of their culture.
Native Pride is often displayed on clothing and accessories- hats, shirts, pants, sweaters, bags... you name it. Feathers, braided hair, and beads (the traditional look) is sometimes shown too. Some natives even get tattoos showing their Native Pride.
Native Pride has absolutely nothing to do with racism and is not some sort of uprising. Some people get offended because they assume different things. For example: We think we are better than you. Wrong. We are keeping our culture strong.

-He's got feathers in his hair, an eagle on his chest, is called by his native name. He has Native Pride.
-"I want a tattoo. It should say 'Native Pride'."
-The English have England, Germans have Germany, Italians have Italy, Egyptians have Egypt, Indians have India, Spanish have Spain, Russians have Russia, Chinese have China....(continues).... there is no 'Natives have America'. But we're here, and we're proud.

Get the native pride mug.Spanish slang for "little sister". "Manita" comes from "Hermanita", hence 'manita.

Get the manita mug.Katharine Bjelland (pronounced "Be-yelland") Born December 8, 1963 in Salem, Oregon. Was a big part of the Minneapolis music scene in her early days. She formed the trio Babes In Toyland with herself being the singer and guitarist. Courtney Love was in the band for a very short time but Kat kicked her out... twice. Courtney went on to steal Kat's signature look and various pieces of songs/lyrics. The "Babes'" fame reached its peak around 1993, while headlining Lollapalooza. They released a number of albums from 1990 up until this day, (mostly) with rare demos, unreleased material, and live concerts (ect.) for fans everywhere to enjoy.
Babes In Toyland played sporadicly in the '90's, and Kat went on the form Katastrophy Wife in c. 2000.

DO NOT confuse Courtney Love with Kat Bjelland. Kat Bjelland is an original artist, Courtney is nothing but a drain.
Kat Bjelland is many people's hero.

Get the kat bjelland mug.An "Acronym" for "Brooklyn". Widely used by people who feel need to prove they're from there. Or just lazy people, and some stupid people. It is sometimes used on MSN Messenger and various cell phones (Virgin Mobile, Fido ect.), txting back and forth. Maybe even spraypainted on buildings, and scribbled in bathroom stalls.
Some of us find "Bklyn" an absolutely horrendous and disgusting abbreviation for "Brooklyn". Annoys me more than "the big apple" does.
