Hinkley Effect

The lingering, long-term damage caused to an area by chemical contamination at the hands of a major corporation.

Made famous by the movie "Erin Brockovich", the town of Hinkley, California suffered large scale contamination of its drinking water with hexavalent chromium, a lethal chemical known to cause cancer and damage the respiratory system, kidneys, liver, skin and eyes. In 1996 the residents of Hinkley were awarded the largest settlement payout in history from PG&E, but many left the area afterwards, fearing continued deception at the hands of the company. It's now largely a ghost town - that's the Hinkley Effect.

hinki

A virtual e-faggot on World of Warcraft whose brain is almost as small as his penis. He likes to go around and acts like he's the best shit, yet he's actually extremely bad at the game and dodges wargames 24/7. He also acts this way because his father inserted too many bananas inside his rectum during his early childhood, and will continue to do so throughout his natural life. If you see him, don't even bother making fun of him. He'll just call you bad, ask for a wargame, and then if you agree, he comes up with an excuse to dodge. He's actually the most pathetic player on World of Warcraft, aside from the lumbering pile of obese garbage that is Cassie.

Me: Hinki, you're ugly and I bet you look like Nosferatu irl.
hinkisterx: haha wargame me noob xd
Me: Ok, I have my partners. Send the wargame request.
lordhinkx: hahahahaahahhahaha no thx fggot, u rnt worth my time xd
Me: ....

Hinduism

Hinduism is a modern reference to the many religious paths of India deriving from the Persian word for an Indian. Hindus themselves now use the term, though it is more traditional to refer to the Sanatana Dharma—the Eternal Law. The religion is centered on the Vedas (the 4 Hindu holy texts) and the caste system related in it. Outside that core is a vast and rich world of texts, teachings, stories, rituals, behaviors, experiences, etc. A pious Hindu will rise early, to meditate on the god or goddess, pray and ritually bathe before the morning meal. Hinduism has many gods/goddesses such as Vishnu, Krishna, Shiva, Rama, and Kali, to name a few.

4 important goals in Hinduism are kama (pleasure), artha (wealth), dharma (duty and obligation), and moksha (liberation from samsara, the endless cycle of reincarnation).
