Form

the essential nature of a species or thing, especially (in Plato's thought) regarded as an abstract ideal which real things imitate or participate in.

Here's a sentence using “form”:

The artist believed her paintings captured not just the physical form of the flower, but its ideal form, a perfect essence that transcended the limitations of the real world.

Form W

A literary masterpiece featuring potato plants, women noisily donating cows to zoos, the beauty of math, and the enchanting love story of one translator(!) named Gen and one Mr. Hosokawa. Not to mention a philosophical debate about the attractiveness of an ancient man and Petrarch refuting it and Jimi Hendrix with an arm sling. Let's just hope you remember how to write in cursive.

summary:
Have you ever seen a cow? (this is for the future generations, they're losing touch with nature)
What is cow
I want my kids to know that potatoes have a plant part. OH GOD PROCESSED FOODS.
Oh such math.
Coffee or orange juice?
THE TRANSLATORS
Genkawa, do you ship it?
Gaaaaayyyyyy.
GEE WHIZ
Only true 90's kids will remember Form W.

Form Check

The act of videotaping yourself (or a friend) in the act of lifting weights and/or doing exercises in the name of blatant self adoration, but under the guise of a "FORM CHECK!"

After I do another set of reps on video, I'm going to go home, shower, and masturbate to my own FORM CHECK!

Form-Correction Warrior

The douchebag at the gym or fitness club who can't help it but give advice to others on their form of exercise, diet or workout routine when they are not asked for it.

Hey Samra, do you see this guy over there at the treadmills? He keeps coming to me when I'm working out giving me some random advice on my form, ugh, he's such a Form-Correction Warrior.

Form over Function

Apple computers. That is all.

Guy 1: Hey, what kind of computer did you get?

Guy 2: I got an apple! They look so damn sexy and they come with exclusive applications, like Safari!

Guy 1: You're a dumbass dude

Guy 2: Why?

Guy 1: All Apple does is make nice looking products, they have terrible performance issues. They're all about aesthetics, not performance. If that isn't a classic case of form over function, I don't know what is.
