Gamaliel

Gamaliel the Elder (/ɡəˈmeɪliəl, -ˈmɑ -, ˌɡæməˈli əl/;also spelled Gamliel; Hebrew: רַבַּן גַּמְלִיאֵל הַזָּקֵן Rabban Gamlīyʾēl hazZāqēn; Koinē Greek: Γαμαλιὴλ ὁ Πρεσβύτερος Gamaliēl ho Presbýteros), or Rabban Gamaliel I, was a leading authority in the Sanhedrin in the early first century AD. He was the son of Simeon ben Hillel and grandson of the great Jewish teacher Hillel the Elder. Gamaliel is thought to have died in 52 AD (AM 3813). He fathered Simeon ben Gamliel, who was named for Gamaliel's father, and a daughter, who married a priest named Simon ben Nathanael.
Gamaliel as a boy's name is of Hebrew origin, and the meaning of Gamaliel is "recompense of God". A biblical name probably brought to America by the Puritans.

A great friend that you can always count on and a total badass. Gets attached to stupid guys very easily. Loves dressing up and is obsessed with mirrors and pics. Can be impulsive and very stubborn at times.

Gamma Male

A beta who tries to COPE with the fact that he's beta, by attempting to reinvent the alpha terminology in his own image. Then identifying as that new image.

Beta:"EVERYTHING IS DO IN MY LIFE IS BETA, BUT I'M NOT BETA I SWARE, I'M ACTUALLY A GAMMA MALE WHICH IS GREATLY SUPERIOR TO AN ALPHA"
*Alpha overhears*
Alpha:"What did you say, bitch?"
Beta:"n n n.. nothing, *sniffles*"
