Outlook Express

A popular euphemism for the most prevalently-used and virus-susceptible email client in the history of computing. See Outhouse Express for the correct term.

When I installed SP2, Outlook Express presumed to decide for me whether to download the images in my email.

Real True Christians

Monotheistic followers of Jesus who:

1. Search for the truth instead searching for a belief that makes them feel good about themselves.

2. Serve God instead of themselves or their own desires.

3. Completely accept the Bible as the complete, authoritative source of information about God.

4. Take it upon themselves to be Christian rather than expect clerics to serve as proxy Christians for them.

5. Obey God's word because they love and respect God enough to obey Him, instead of working even harder to come up with excuses not to obey God.

6. Do not introduce man-made philosophies or pagan customs into their worship and pretend that they have something to do with Jesus.

7. Obey God rather than men when the two are in conflict.

8. Do not follow self-appointed prophets or messiahs.

I prefer honest pagans and Real True Christians to those who pretend that the fertility symbols of Easter, such as eggs, rabbits, and maidens dressed in white have something to do with Jesus.

Attorney

A legislator-in-training who hopes to grow up to be a real politician some day. See job security.

Most legilators either have been, or eventually become attorneys, who practice the very law that legislators write, leading to a horrific conflict of interest between the two professions, by which government of the people is by the attorneys, for the attorneys.
