Carnism

Carnism is the invisible belief system that conditions people to eat certain animals. It is basically the opposite of veganism.

The term was coined by social psychologist Melanie Joy in 2001 when she stated that the lack of terminology around consuming animal products was part of the problem. Without a term to refer to the practice by, it is accepted as the norm and the ignorance around the subject continues to flourish.

Carnism is an extremely important concept that has the potential to dramatically transform the way society thinks about eating animals. - Gene Baur

Cornish Army

The Cornish Army was first used in combat in 1497, during the Cornish Rebellion. A blacksmith and a lawyer managed to raise an army of 15,000 men and marched into Devon, conquering it, relatively unopposed. Wells, Winchester, Bristol, and Salisbury were taken, though while in Taunton they suffered a slight hiccup when a tax commissioner was murdered, but apart from this one incedent the march was referred to as, 'without any slaughter, violence or spoil of the country'. They tried to rally the 'volatile men of Kent*' to their cause, but the Kentishmen had decided that what was going on was too far away to concern them. This disheartened a number of the Cornish troops, who decided to call it quits and went home. The remainder of the forces decided to take on the King (Henry VII). They arrived at Guildford and awaited the retaliation of the Crown. They were attacked by a meager force of 500 mounted spearmen, which they promptly defeated. The Cornish army then moved in on London and the Royal Family barricaded themselves in the Tower of London, whilst the rest of the city began to panic. At Blackheath the Cornish set up their final camp and prepared for 'The Battle Of Deptford Bridge' (located in south-east London).
The Cornish army had by this point around 12,000 troops, while the King had a whooping 25,000. The battle lasted about half a day and ended with the defeat of the Cornish.
Wouldn't it have been interesting if they had won?

The Cornish Army was quite cool... for the 15th Century.

Curtis Lowe

Fictional Character from Lynard Skynard song

Some bitches think that the band said " finest n***er to ever play the blues"

The real line goes " finest PICKER to ever play the blues"
and for the previous definition a picker is someone who plucks a guitar, the song was complimenting Curtis Lowe on his guitar skills

"Ol Kurt was a black man with white curly hair "
"Curtis Lowe was the finest picker to ever play the blues"

curtisbeard

A curtisbeard is facial hair that is too long to be called stubble, but is too short to be called a real beard. This gives the face a fuzzy appearance. This term derives its name from the middle school/high school teacher Mr. Curtis, who can nearly always be seen with this kind of facial hair.

After not shaving for a week and a half, Andrew had a curtisbeard.
