Gravure Idol 

A gravure idol (グラビアアイドル gurabia aidoru), often abbreviated to gradol (グラドル guradoru), is a Japanese female model who primarily models in magazines, especially those marketed to men, photobooks, or DVDs. Gravure idols, in most cases, emphasize their sexual attractiveness and often model in swimsuits.

Gravure idols appear in a wide range of photography styles and genres. Their photos are largely aimed at male audiences. Though they never appear nude, their poses are seen as semi-provocative.

Gravure models may be of any age but usually range from their late teens to their mid-twenties. In addition to appearing in mainstream magazines, gravure idols often release their own professional photobooks and DVDs for their fans. Many popular female idols in Japan launched their careers by starting out as gravure idols.

Gravure models are commonly photographed wearing bikinis or lingerie, but may also appear wearing schoolgirl uniforms, Japanese street fashion, and kimonos. Since 2008, ZAKZAK magazine has awarded a Gravure Idol Award.

The word グラビア (gurabia), used in Japanese to describe female models of this kind, is derived from the English-language term rotogravure, which is a printing method that was once commonly used in the production of illustrated magazines. The modern meaning of the term "gravure idol" is thus loosely "magazine model", a reference to the medium in which most of the idols gain stardom.

A Gaurika is a CRAZY person. You would regret not being friends with her and your life would definitely be better if you had a Gaurika with you. She is a hopeless romantic and probably has the most pure crush on somebody. She is most likely worrying about her crush or just freaking out over him. She will never do anything to hurt you. She is mostly happy and very joyful but she has her days where she will be happy outside in the public but is secretly breaking on the inside. She also has her days where she stays up really late crying and wakes up with swollen eyes. But hey, she is still an amazing person. Don’t ever break her trust or EVER lie to her. She will only break more if you do that. Don’t worry she’s not a depressed fuck up, just a little sensitive. She is a hilarious person and will ALWAYS make you laugh. She can get moody at times but it’s still entertaining. She has a really good voice and if not she’s probably good at an instrument. Also she HELLA THICK
damnnn that Gaurika is like 50 different personalities combined

Gaurangi 

A rare, charming and beautiful girl that is so rare to find that it is impossible. Meek and quiet, she goes about unnoticed, searching for her one and only. Once she found him, she's the most faithful, caring and loving girl; the only girl he'll ever need.

Gaurangi by Nepsus June 9, 2018
To give the appearance of being adamant or decisive, while really having no intention to "make good" on one's promises (or threats). Derived from the tradition of the jurisprudent's gavel in US courts, which is used in television dramas to silence a querulous courtroom -- the gavel, despite conveying the image of power and authority, has in itself no inherent power (and so often proves insufficient at restoring "order in the court" amidst the outbursts of some headstrong witness or defendant). Because the gesture is itself only performative, it relies entirely upon the fear and awe of the hearer in order to retain its power.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
