1. n., Peeps who rigorously eschew all forms of mental stimulation, on the feeble premise that either God or evolution will teach us all that we need to know. They may vocally oppose education, and believe that writing is something that only writers do. They sometimes brag about having no sense of size, quantity, or direction.
The militantly ignorant rarely read books or even magazines or newspapers, admit that they don't enjoy the fine arts, have a poor sense of history, can't find Nevada or Pakistan on a globe, and avoid watching the news on TV. They don't own library cards or use technology, except as a joke or novelty, believing digital productivity and entertainment to be waning fads, and are easily recognized by holding materials upside down while reading, unless they contain pretty pictures. What informational channels they do expose themselves to through TV or movies are usually either drivel or very low-grade.
They are greatly relieved to be unaware of the existence of resources such as NPR or the Internet. They can't read, spell, or even speak very well, don't recognize or use many words, frequently substitute similarly sounding words for what they really mean, take violent offense at innocent comments, and otherwise misconstrue most statements containing words longer than three syllables.
Unfortunately, such people rarely study or try to improve themselves or their work, (if they actually do any), and can only poorly define their misconceptions, much less defend them. Should they attempt to describe a problem, they will most likely describe it as a thingy that acted funny. This may have seemed cute when they were small, but if such seemingly cute ignorance is excessively rewarded when people are small, they learn to adopt ignorance as a strategy for obtaining affection, and eventually their brains atrophy from disuse and they can't learn more mature strategies.

2. adj., Stupid on purpose.

The most prevalently-used and virus-susceptible email client in the history of computing. Frequently euphemized as Outlook Express.
When I installed SP2, Outhouse Express presumed to decide for me whether to download the images in my email.

A comical, or at least absurd, definition. Such a definition makes sense from some facetious or offensive point of view.
Calling the Rolling Stones a landslide would be a daffynition.
Many of the UrbanDictionary defintions about alternative lifestyles, politics, and religion are daffynitions.
Daffynitions are the basis for many common euphemisms.

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.
