1)The second most important figure (next to
God) in
Christianity. In the Bible, the
Old Testement takes place before he is born, and the
New Testement takes place after.
2)An exclamation of anger. According to Christianity, you aren't supposed to say the Lord's name is vain, so it's considered by some to be a swear word.
1)When we went to Church on Sunday, the priest told us about the life of Jesus Christ.
2)"Jesus Christ, how stupid can you be?!" yelled the teacher at the student who couldn't read.
A small vacation where you don't have school for a week in Spring, usually in March or April.
Spring Break is famouse because high schoolers and people in college often use this time to go to someplace warm (such as Florida or Cancun) and go wild and crazy, with lots of sex and beer.
Marie was greatful for a break from college. She went to the beach for Spring Break, and ended up getting drunk and having sex.
Robby was greatful from a break from 6th grade. He went to his house for Spring Break and ended up playing playing video games the entire week.
1)When something is translated into another language, and sometimes translated back into the original language, and because of differences of the languages some of the original meaning is lost.
2)Whenever someone re-does something in a new medium (for instance, a movie based on a book) and, due to differances between the mediums, some details and the original meaning is not present.
3)A movie that came out in 2003.
1)See larstait's post for a good example.
2)"Did you like the new Harry Potter movie?" asked Maria. "No," answered Sharon. "They couldn't include all the details that were in the book because then the movie would be too long. A lot of the characterization and subext was lost in translation."
3)I really liked Lost in Translation. And if you didn't, your opinion can't possibly be worth anything, you must be an idiot or a philistine. No, I didn't just imagine the subtext, it's there and it's very moving!

The Incredibles recieved rave reviews due to it's beautiful animation and action sequences, wonderful plot, better characterization than many adult films, humor, and general awesomeness. Some people say that it's not as good as Pixar's previous movie,
Finding Nemo, but I think it is the best animated movie I have ever seen.

In real life--
Able to read and write.
In roleplaying--
A good
roleplayer. Specifically, a literate
roleplayer does not use
chatspeak, spells word correctly, and has proper usage and grammar. Literates are less likely to be
desperates or
n00bs and generally roleplays well.
If you see a
thread with "LITERATE ROLEPLAY/LITERATES ONLY" in the subject line, it means they only accept people who have good grammar.
1. The literacy rate is 97% in America, meaning 97% of Americans can read and write.
2. The difference between a literate roleplayer and an advanced roleplayer is that being advanced specifically states that you are good at writing (i.e. descriptions, characters) but literate just means you have good grammar, although they're often used interchangeably.
