C++'s definitions
At its core, religion is adherence to a code of beliefs. Often bashed by evangelical atheists who don't understand that their belief in no god is itself a religion.
Also note that general religion or faith is not the same thing as organized religion. Organized religion is, theologically, man's interpretation of what God wants. For example, Christianity is a belief in God and Jesus (see the Bible for more specifics), and the organized religion of Catholocism (later, the Protestant faiths) was created to 'bring God to the people.'
Most faiths say basically the same thing (that there was one loving God, a flood, some prophets and some other stuff) but a lot of organized religions have been twisted into an excuse for people to kill each other (if theres one thing humans love more than killing each other, its doing it for a greater cause).

Everyone is a member of some religion, even if it's the religion of no religion. Now Deal With It kthx.

Get the religionmug. When you're happily drinking with friends and rest your eyes for a second at the local pub, and suddenly wake up to find yourself sprawled across the steps of your house or in some alley in the middle of nowhere, then you my friend have just taken a ride in the beer taxi.

An evangelical atheist is one who not only believes there is no god or other supreme being, but is obsessed with convincing everyone around them to become an atheist too, usually through hard-line intolerance (the kind they accuse other religions of). When cornered they usually try to put down their opponent's religion and bash them for 'blind faith', not realizing that their belief that there is no god is no more or less valid or provable than the other guy's belief that there is one.
Not to be confused with normal atheists/agnostics, who for the most part just dont talk about religion and accept the beliefs of those around them as their perogative. Evangelical atheists are particularly common on the Internet, as organized religion is generally accepted as part of 'the system' of global human society, and lately it's become cool on the Internet to hate 'the system'. Mostly teen angst if you ask me...

Evangelical atheist: "Hi, I'm an atheist."
Other guy: "Cool, I'm Jewish."
Atheist: "YOU FOOL! YOU PRACTICE RELIGION LOL, YOURE A DUMBASS AND IM COOL BECAUSE IM AN ATHEIST. I SHALL NOW PROCEED TO EXPLAIN WHY BLIND FAITH IS DUMB, UNLESS ITS BLIND FAITH IN ATHEISM WHICH IS A COINCIDENTAL EXCEPTION"
Other guy: "Shut it bitch, you're a dumbass"
Atheist: "BUT IM AN ATHEIST, WHICH MEANS IM ALWAYS RIGHT. AND IM NOT AN INTOLERANT PRICK LIKE ALL MEMBERS OF RELIGION ARE, HURR HURR HURR.

Get the evangelical atheistmug. A gym bunny is someone who spends large amounts of time working out for the sole purpose of 'looking ripped'. Can be male or female, always extremely vain and superficial. Prevalent in California, which should come as no surprise since this state is a magnet for all the nation's nutjobs and screwups.
The difference between a gym bunny and someone who just works out a lot is the latter exercises to be able to do physical stuff like move heavy objects on a regular basis, whereas the gym bunny does it exclusively for visual reasons and probably couldn't do anything with those perfectly toned muscles if they had to.
The difference between a gym bunny and someone who just works out a lot is the latter exercises to be able to do physical stuff like move heavy objects on a regular basis, whereas the gym bunny does it exclusively for visual reasons and probably couldn't do anything with those perfectly toned muscles if they had to.
Three ways to tell if someone is a gym bunny:
1. They're amazingly well-sculpted but still seem unable to do anything involving physical labor.
2. Often talk with friends about how much time they spend at the gym and overtly cut meetings and social events short because they have to get to the gym.
3. Act as if their physical fitness by itself makes them better than others.

Get the gym bunnymug. Soldier who is trained to jump out of perfectly good airplanes, for the purpose of inserting in enemy territory away from the heavy defenses around national borders and the front lines.
Paratroopers are pretty helpless during the airdrop, but their strength is in putting force in an area that isn't expecting it or prepared to react.

Get the paratroopermug. Yet another example of France fucking up and the US riding in to bail their sorry asses out. Unfortunately for them, it didn't work out as well as the World Wars and the US got a bloody nose. Statistically the war went relatively well for America, but gross political mismanagement and the mass media's attempts to force public opinion against the war crippled the military's efforts and America ultimately had to pull out. Basically, the Vietnam War was lost in America, not in Vietnam.
The USA could have easily won the Vietnam War by playing fast and hard, but worthless politicians kept them on such a tight leash they could only hope to tickle North Vietnam and only after being punched in the face. Or we could have returned de Gaulle's favor and told the damn frogs to fuck off in the beginning and spared ourselves the whole experience.

Get the vietnam warmug. Basically, people who hate chavs and want to form a social club about it. The irony is they rightfully accuse chavs of being dumb, brutish, sheeple assholes but in doing so they themselves do the exact same thing.
I'm not anti-chav, I'm anti-stupid. There is a difference.
