Gospel

All of us are sinners and each time we sin, we go against God. God created us to have an intimate relationship with Him but sin divides and shoves us away from God. There is literally no way we can get back to God on our own, no way for us to remove our sins from ourselves alone. The Bible tells us that the punishment of sin is death but God didn't want to send us all to Hell so He sent His perfect Son Jesus to Earth to suffer in the body of a human being and die for us on the cross. In this way, Jesus paid for all of our sins and took upon Him the sins of the world so that we might be saved when we believe in Him. Then God raised Jesus from the dead, thus showing that the sacrifice was accepted and so we can right our relationship with God and have our sins forgiven when we repent of them and put our trust in Jesus.

Gropenfuhrer

This tag for Arnold Schwarzenegger actually was coined by Steve Lopez, a writer for the Los Angeles Times, in a column the day after the recall election that installed Arnold as governor, in spite of his acknowledged history of breast and booty grabbing (or, as Arnold described it, "being playful"). Garry Trudeau made Lopez's term nationally famous in the "Doonesbury" cartoons. It's a pun on a German term for a group leader, "gruppenfuhrer."

Gosport

A dingy, lifeless town on the south coast of England where nothing ever happens. Steeped in naval history which is about the only thing going for it. Population is roughly 80,000. 30% are dirty unwashed chavs who'll stab you for a bag of chips. 50% are OAPs who'll tell you about when everything was all fields and the other 20% are people like me. Desparate to escape to somewhere half decent.

gropecunt

Gropecunt Lane was a street name found in English towns and cities during the Middle Ages, believed to be a reference to the prostitution centred on those areas.

You can therefore assume that 'Gropecunt' means the primary act which took place on this Lane, i.e the groping of a woman's genitalia (cunt).
Adam: "Fuck I'm bored, shall we go do something fun?"

Dave: "Yes, let's go gropecunt some chicks on Gropecunt Lane."
