Desert Eagle. Pretty cool gun. Finicky with ammo. Really does not like lightly loaded rounds. Mine does fairly well with the ammo I reload for it using starline brass, Rainier 335gr bullets, CCI-350 primers, and 29 grains (weight not individual grains) of H110 powder.
The percieved recoil is actually less than most .44magnum revolvers like my 44 Ruger Blackhawk. This is due to it being gas operated and especially due to its excessive weight. Those of you that say it will break your wrist have no clue what you are talking about. Don't buy into the hype. It's powerful for a handgun but it is completely controllable with practice.
It's not worth having if you don't reload as ammo is $1-$1.50 per round. I can load the above "recipe" for about $160 per thousand if I already have the brass which can withstand a dozen or more loadings.
It does serve a practical role as a hunting handgun but is probably rarely used as such.

A derogatory term given to the belief systems of the three Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Because these three religions originated in the desert region of the Middle East and are known and criticized for their dogmatic ideologies, desert dogma fits in perfectly as it's an alliteration. This term was popularized by a well-known British atheist on YouTube named Pat Condell.
"I am so sick of people blindly following in desert dogma."
"I don't believe in desert dogma."
"Look at all the problems created because of desert dogma."
"I don't believe in desert dogma."

Lips that are always chapped. No matter how much water you drink or how much chapstick you put on if you have desert lips your lips will always be chapped, cracked, and nasty.

That which is justly deserved. Can refer to either a punishment (more common usage) or a reward.
Pronounced like 'desserts', the sweet course at the end of a meal, but spelled like an arid land mass, e.g. 'The Sahara and Gobi deserts are big, hot, and dry'.
