Gabriel the Arch-Angel

In Abrahamic religions, Gabriel ("Master, of God", i.e., a Master, who is "of God") is an archangel who is thought to serve as a messenger from God. "Angel" literally translates to "messenger" from the Koine Greek; an "arch" angel is a "primary" or "chief" messenger. He first appears in the Book of Daniel in the Hebrew Bible. He was also referred to as the "Left Hand of God".

Christians believe him to have foretold the births of John the Baptist and Jesus. In Islam, he is thought to have been the medium through which God revealed the Qur'an to Muhammad.

In biblical tradition, he is sometimes regarded as the angel of death, the prince of fire and thunder, but more frequently as one of God's chief messengers, and traditionally said to be the only angel that can speak Syriac and Chaldee. In Islam, Gabriel is one of God's chief messengers but other above mentioned titles are not given to him

In the Catholic Tradition, he is known as one of the archangels. In Islam, he is called the chief of the four favoured angels and the spirit of truth, and in some views Gabriel is the same person as the Holy Spirit.

1. In Latter-day Saint theology, Gabriel lived a mortal life as the patriarch Noah. Gabriel and Noah are regarded as the same person, but Gabriel alone is regarded as the immortal resurrected being (angel). As such, all of Noah's children are considered to be Gabriel's earthly children.

2. Gabriel the Arch-Angel of death is Azrael.

arch-nemesis

Arch nemesis are friends from a long time ago that have more or less equivalent powers, but also have oposing ideologies. They are therefore always fighting with each other. Examples:
- Obi Wan and Darth Vader
- The Republican and Democratic Parties

Professor Xavier and Magneto are eachother's arch-nemesis. They play chess together and have been friends for a long time, but they completely disagree about the relationship that mutants should have with humans, so they are always fighting.

arch

Arch, aka Arch Linux is a great Linux distribution for people who want to build their own system from the ground up and are able to RTFM.

It is loved among more advanced linux users for things like its package manager (pacman) and the AUR (Arch User Repository) which contains packages from the community that are not in the main repository.

archaspec

Marketing copy used in advertisements and product literature, especially high-technology, that trumpets their high specifications and exciting new features that in the present day seem quaint or almost unbelieveable.
Also can be used to describe a product that is obsolete, laughably so.
eg. 'Fully expandable to 27K of RAM' (Commodore Vic 20 computer)

Even his cellphone was an archaspec - no bluetooth, no camera, just a brick with an antenna.
