caste

A Portuguese colonial interpretation of ancient Indian grouping by hereditary profession, called "jāti" in Hindoostani; predating the Aryan penetration of the subcontinent, but believed by White Nationalists (among others) to be a kind of primitive apartheid system introduced by the Vedic Aryans to keep those of darker skin away from them, due to conflation with the five *classes*, properly "varna", of Vedic society (Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaisya, Sudra, Chandal).

"Castes are systems of occupation, endogamy, social culture, social class, and political power, the assignment of individuals to places in the social hierarchy is determined by social group and cultural heritage. Although India is often now associated with the word "caste", it was first used by the Portuguese to describe inherited class status in their own European society."

Castaic

A small truckstop town with the dullest group of teenagers you'd be fated to meet. Cookie-cutter families with perfect homes and teenage kids that do nothing but sit around and smoke weed. The drugs are the town's worst-kept secret. Every next door neighbor is a cop.

Person 1: "I live in Castaic."
Person 2: "Great, can I have some pot?"

Castaway

n; A cheap alcoholic drink that is usually done before any real drinking is to begin. 1 shot of Castillo rum is dropped into a glass of Miller Light. Before dropping the rum the person about the drink must salute the drink and recognize the fact that they are NOT going to be going down with the ship, but will rather ride the tides to an island of humiliation (and sickness) to live as a castaway until the next ship comes along.

Jordan wants to get really drunk tonight, so he wants to be the first castaway

The die is cast

Spoken by Caesar, as he crossed the Rubicon river, and started a civil war.

..........................also can mean in modern terms as, fuck it!

Caesar: Men, the die is cast, let us cross the Rubicon!

Legionaries: Fuck it, lets go!

caste

A type of rule where a person's role is determined by his background. Castes also have different levels of power.

For example : in ancient Japan, the Tokugawa Dynasty ruled with a caste system, where the samurai were the highest.
Another example : India apparently has a caste system. This means that if you were born of a poor family, you are required (not destined, required) to be that way, and nothing you do will change that. Specifically, if someone was the reincarnation of the Buddha, that person would be the most powerful man in India.

Contrary to the fetish beliefs, capitalism is NOT a caste system. Capitalism does not judge people on their birth, but requires people to work hard if they want to be rich.

"Castes don't work very well....and yet somehow they're effective. I'm stumped. Nevertheless, America should not resort to a caste system; that would be unconstitutional & against the founding principles of this country."
