Calvary or Golgotha (English pronunciation: /ˈɡɒlɡəθə/) was the site, outside of ancient Jerusalem’s early first century walls, at which the crucifixion of Jesus occurred. Calvary and Golgotha are the English names for the site used in Western Christianity.1
Golgotha is the Greek transcription given by the New Testament, of an Aramaic title, which has traditionally been presumed to be Gûlgaltâ (but see below for an alternative); the Bible glosses it as place of the skull — Κρανίου Τόπος (Kraniou Topos) in Greek, and Calvariae Locus in Latin, from which we get Calvary.

The definition of hotness, attractiveness, coolness, and awesomeness. Every hot girl chases after him, but he will only go after girls that are both beautiful and with a deep heart and kindness and personality. :D The best friend to anyone who is a good, cool person to hang around. Also, he happens to be an ultraconservative evangelical Christian (hence his name, but that doesn't mean that Jesus is all he talks about. That's a common misconception about Christians. All around a cool, great guy.
Hot Girl/Girlfriend: Oh, did you hear about Calvary?
Boy/Boyfriend: Wat? Huh? Calvary... Oh, I think I've heard of that. Isn't that like the hill where Christ was crucified upon? I saw a Church while driving here.
Hot Girl/Girlfriend: Well, yeah I guess, but it's also this dude I know. He's like, sooooooooo hot.
Boy/Boyfriend: OOOOH Really, well if you like him so much, why don't you just break up with me?
Hot Girl/Girlfriend: Fine! We're through. I'll go date him now.
