CommandoDude's definitions
Term which refers to a conduct of combat, loosely applying to the 17th through 19th century. In which battles were orderly fought in a fashion akin to a turn based strategy game, with opposite sides of musketmen walked around the field of battle to form giant lines of ranks totally exposed. Each army then took turns blasting the crap out of each other.
Sometimes one side would suicidally charge the other with bayonets. On foot or cavalry. Later, cannons were used as fire support.
Generally, this was though of as sportsmanlike by the nobles that waged these wars.
The practice eventually began to wane when people realized that doing this was fucking insane. And basically outright stopped once World War I rolled around.

These people had more balls then any human being in history, when you realize that each and every one of these mother fuckers walked around a battlefield devoid of cover. Then stood in front of a proverbial firing squad.
Not to mention, even if you survived getting shot, you'd probably get a limb amputated, without anesthetics, at best. Slow painful death at worst.
You probably had a better chance at surviving Russian Roulette. A Gentlemans' War was more like a gamble with the Grim Reaper.

Get the Quantum Physics mug.Paranoid, angry, or attention seeking wannabe college dropouts who think that by looking at shoddy footage of controversial events and mincing the words of eye witnesses they can piece together their own, delusional version of "The truth" about what REALLY happened that day.
Tin foil hats may or may not be worn.

Everybody should listen to Conspiracy Theorists, they know "The truth" because they haven't been bought out by 'The Man' like those silly scientists. What do they know, what with their PhDs? And their testing? And their research? They obviously don't know shit about what REALLY happened. Just look at this video of the event, see that plane? IT'S A MISSILE.

Get the Conspiracy Theorist mug.A large gun used in WWI by the Germans produced by Krupp Industries.
Big Bertha is usually confused with the Paris gun and was never actually fired at Paris.
In fact, Big Bertha saw very little action aside from bombarding a handfull of Forts in Belgium, most French soldiers who were captured from bombarded forts claimed
"No one can stand up to Big Bertha's might" when in fact they had never been shelled by Big Bertha at all.

Get the Plutocrat mug.Premiered in the 90's, Poke'mon has rapidly become one of the most popular/hated T.V. cartoons to hit American public broadcasting.
The story features Ash Katchem as well as several others in their ongoing (And by ongoing, I mean neverending) adventure to explore and catch Poke'mon. Their primary antagonists are Team Rocket, lead by mysterious Geovanni, though, more popularly reconized by Jessie and James with their comical opening.
The first season focused on the adventures through Kanto region, with the original 150(2) Poke'mon. It is a classic. It was followed by several Gameboy games; Poke'mon Red, Blue, and Yellow (Green was produced but was never produced for American consumerism; It remains Japanese only).
The series became SO popular it was followed by several more seasons including Orange Islands, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh regions. As well as several other games following the Gameboy name genre, and many movies produced. A card game was also released and being expanded to include new Poke'mon from the other regions.
The overabundance of series and movies by its' creators to milk the popularity of the show has earned the series much public backlash. And has also been condemned by several religious groups claiming Poke'mon portrays animal demons.
Never the less, after a decade in the making Poke'mon still remains a well watched cartoon. (The audience being mostly kids).
