The study of UFOs (unidentified flying objects). Topics of interest include UAPs (unexplained aerial phenomenon) and ETs (extraterrestrials). Efforts may include research of reported cases, interviewing contactees, and actual field work (visiting report sites of sightings and contact, to seek evidence or to initiate contact).
My hobby is ufology. I spend far too muchmoney on night-vision cameras and warm outdoor clothing.
"The facade of an apology created by uttering obligatory words of remorse devoid of actual regret, contrition, or even an admission of guilt."
("When saying you're sorry is unavoidable, the unpology is a Republican's best friend!")
(Found via a place online called: "perrspectives")
Actual example of an unpology from today, (9/1/2007): "I apologize... I have little control over what people choose to believe." (...about my pleading guilty to lewd behavior in the men's room at the airport.) -- Senator Larry Craig, (R)Idaho
A passive statement which accepts that some hurt happened, and which laments that pain was caused, but which fails to acknowledge any responsibility on the part of the speaker for what took place.
The following extract is from an unpology issued by the Vatican in response to the 2009 Murphy Report on sexual abuse in the Dublin archdiocese: "After careful study of the Report, the Holy Father was deeply disturbed and distressed by its contents. He wishes once more to express his profound regret at the actions of some members of the clergy who have betrayed their solemn promises ... The Holy Father shares the outrage, betrayal and shame felt by so many of the faithful in Ireland ... The Holy See takes very seriously the central issues raised by the Report, including questions concerning the governance of local Church leaders with ultimate responsibility for the pastoral care of children ..."
1. Honest scientific study and debate of extraterrestrial visitation to earth. 2. Any of the UFObased religions (Raëlism, Scientology, Heaven's Gate, and a cluster fuck of others) that are growing. 3. A conspiracy of profiteers, that fabricate evidence of extraterrestrial visitation of earth.
1. Most of the science based ufology groups, are honest free thinkers.
2. You thought Jesus freaks were bad, look out for ufology churches.
3. Watch out for ufology hustlers, selling far eastern shit for a 1000% profit.
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!

another term for a station wagon, mini-van, or any other kind of vehicle that is targeted at the "family" demographic(also M.A.V.)
