The colloquially British spelling of the word "honor", which is derived from the Latin "honor". Blame it on Their Majesties. It's Their English.
The spelling honour is some times used by people from countries outside Britain as well, if they are desperate to make the point that they are not American.

A quantification of one's moral standards and moral values, and the lengths to which one will go to uphold them in daily life.
If you expect high moral standards of others but don't live by themself, your moral character is useless.

A web site that turns its nose up at legitimate, fully-functional browsers, such as IE 7 or Firefox simply because the webmaster won't tolerate his site being viewed using off-brand browsers and can't be bothered to update the site's script to recognize legitimate browsers.
Some monopolistic corporations, such as MyCrudSoft, are browser snobs. You have to do business with them on their terms because they don't even need to care whether you like doing business with them. It's their way making sure you know that they don't have to give a crap about you.
