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."

Get the caste mug.Due to a change in circumstances, Casterton School is now currently on path to take over the world - in the words of Beyonce 'who runs the world...girls (girls). 5 new schools are currently being planned to be built, beginning 2014, across the United Kingdom. A further runway is being built at the Casterton School airport in order to accomodate the numerous outward journeys to their international schools, running the language departments in Madrid, Berlin and Paris as a result of finding a sack of diamonds in a time capsule in the Sixth Form Common Room ceiling, there is no longer any need for our shares in Gringotts.
After long deliberation with MGM studios they are currently filming the pilot season of MIC (Made In Casterton), guest starring former pupil Keith Lemon and the Spice Girls.
Upon entering Casterton School, new pupils are trained in first aid, given an engraved segway and assigned their own personal body guard resembling Ryan Gosling.
The Casterton School song, as of 12/06/13 will become the National Anthem. One heart, one way.

Get the Casterton School mug.A disease that transforms you into a North American Yeti. A North American Yeti is a harry all over except for the head, which is bald. They live in North America (duh!) and really like the Chicago Bears. They also argue a lot, and are ill tempered. They have bad manners, and will closeline you as well if they get angry, using their over developed forearms.

Get the castafari mug.A smoke trick for glass pipes; blow the "O" as thick as possible and aim the carb to the side of the "O". Slowly inhale "O" through carb making a balloon shaped loop that flows into the pipe thus re-smoking the "O" through the carb. Aka the "Castro"
Mr. Caster was smoking the reefer the other day and I saw him take a huge hit and blew a psychedelic Caster-0.
