An area around a person, within which other people make them nervous, except for intimacy. Also, space and my space.

In HTML, an attribute of the img tag that allows persnickety browsers to display text in place of the image, or to indicate the content of the image to the visually impaired and search engine spiders.
In the event that an image displayed on a web page displays text or other information, the Alt attribute should be set with descriptive text so that persnickety browsers, visually impaired people, and search engines can read the description. A lot of SEO spammers get themselves banned from search engines by keyword stuffing their Alt attributes.
Some accessibility nuts like to ruin a webmasters day by insisting that every blasted, non-informative image must have an "Alt tag". Some of us cave in to their nonsense by using NiDE, but the truth is, there is no such thing as an Alt tag. Alt is an attribute of the img tag.

When people mindlessly do something without knowing any reason for doing it, they become like two-legged cattle.

1. A cartoon and comic book character, circa 1940s to 1970s, when comic books were still about comedy, and briefly reappearing in the mid-1990s. He had a peculiar baby-like vocabulary and grammar that included statements like, "I yamn't going to do this any more".
2. A big, fat slob, or a blundering idiot.
3. A style, or lack thereof, in which one's shirt is too short, typically because of the size of the belly, so that the bare belly protrudes quite grossly below it. This is not to be confused with tops that are cropped in order to intentionally display a nice-looking tummy. However, it could easily apply to the bare tummy of a person who is seriously mistaken in the belief that it looks nice.

1. Baby Huey had the mentality and grammar of a baby, in the body of a champion sumo wrestler, and was usually accompanied by his diminutive and aptly-named sidekick, "Cousing" Dimwit.
2. Hey, Baby Huey! Would you get your finger out of your nose long enough to open your eyes and look where you're going?
3. Pull your shirt down; you look like Baby Huey!

One of a group of people sent by one civilization to another land for the purposing of "civilizing" the civilization that is already there, under the assumption that the existing civilization is not civilized. See bigot and racism.
Europeans thought that having more powerful weapons and larger armies, (see army), made them more civilized than anyone else, so they sent colonists to bring all the other civilizations down to their level.
