Adrien Agreste Syndrome

Adrien Agreste Syndrome is not a psychological disorder; It stems from the series 'Miraculous Ladybug" and fans use this to describe anyone who is in denial about liking someone. It hints toward Adrien's famous line, when he describes Marinette, "She's just a friend" when Marinette obviously is not. This term is not gender subjective.

Urban Purpose Amnesia

A condition in which the editors of a popular website forget to fulfill their mission as a vital conduit for the evolution of English vernacular, as spoken by the people on a regular basis.

Instead of focusing on the mission, they opt to include and proliferate forced, unwitty and often juvenile standards that instead creates a forgettable, unreliable and unusable reference for the future.

By approving seemingly every entry, and by setting a low quality standard, Urban Dictionary has forgetten why it exists and has acquired Urban Purpose Amnesia. There appears to be a disregard for the quality of examples, and whether they are insightful, funny or coherent. Pundits do not believe Urban Dictionary can survive as a medium for the English language on its current course. In fact, previously well placed entries may also be ignored, rendering the web site's entire existence meaningless.

The Dim Ages

The Dim Ages...the next chapter of modern world history, similar to the Dark Ages of the 10th and 11th centuries. The Dim Ages are / will be chatacterized by a rolling back of informed decisions and ignorant electorates, exacerbated by agenda driven media outlets, and internet fueled misinformation. It is unclear if this will last for one generation or multiple generations.

Larissa always tried to make a positive difference in the world however became disheartened upon realizing that The Dim Ages were upon us.

agnostic

Someone who would like proof of God before devoting their whole life to him/her, but acknowledges that there is a possibility God exists. They often believe that people who state either 'yes' or 'no' are too close-minded.

An agnostic does not have proof that God exists. They look for it, but more often than not never find it.

Agnosticism

The only rational position to take in relation to the existence of god. Most (but not all) agnostics are leaning towards atheist, meaning they highly doubt that there is a god, but aren't dogmatic enough to rule it out entirely. Some are theists who accept a certain level of doubt for their beliefs, for the sake of being logical.

Theism: "I know for certain that god exists"

Atheism: "I know for certain that there are no gods"

Agnosticism: "I only know that I don't know"
