Amistics 

The Study of the choices made by different cultures as to which technologies they would embrace or spurn.

The only reason we haven't already changed our genetic code to be stronger, eliminate nearsightedness or have bigger dicks is not that it can't be done, it is our current Amistics don't allow it.

Root comes from the word Amish. Why do the Amish choose to use roller skates but not cars even though the skates were invented after cars?

Armistice 

Spawned out of the harbor area (CA)- Armistice has played boat loads of shows all around southern california since their formation in '90 and recorded several recordings to date. Inspite of member changes Armistice has stuck together and still pump out "100% paws in the air punk rock". Armistice currently resides in the harbor area and promises to record an LP very soon. Armistice has become very synonymous with winnie the pooh. It is used in almost all of their logos and is definatly a armistice trademark. Current members are as followed: Fumes= drums, Norman=guitar, Kevin= bass. They are a kick ass band(P-beat legends) and definatly worth checking out: myspace.com/armistice

Armistice Day

November 11, formerly observed in the United States in commemoration of the signing of the armistice ending World War I in 1918. Since 1954 it has been incorporated into the observances of Veterans Day.

-- American Heritage Dictionary, 4th Edition

EXAMPLE:

"So this book is a sidewalk strewn with junk, trash which I throw over my shoulders as I travel in time back to November eleventh, nineteen hundred and twenty-two.

"I will come to a time in my backwards trip when November eleventh, accidentally my birthday, was a sacred day called Armistice Day. When I was a boy . . . all the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

"It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen, that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind.

"Armistice Day has become Veterans' Day. Armistice Day was sacred. Veterans' Day is not.

"So I will throw Veterans' Day over my shoulder. Armistice Day I will keep. I don't want to throw away any sacred things.

"What else is sacred? Oh, "Romeo and Juliet", for instance.

"And all music is."

-- From Kurt Vonnegut's 1973 novel "Breakfast of Champions" -- Preface (page 6).

Atavistic 

Having characteristics regressing to a more primitive type; resembling a distant ancestor. A evolutionary throwback.

The atavistic dew claw in many dog breeds is a simple example of a genetic throwback to an earler stage of dog evolution.

An atavistic example in humans is when babies are born with true tails.

Atheistic Morality

Doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do, not because you want to gain favor with god.

Religious Person: I gave money to charity because god would want me to.

Sane Person: I gave money to charity because some people needed it more than I did.

Religious Person: Why would you help someone for no reason?

Sane Person: it's called Atheistic Morality, learn about it.

atoustic 

A meme, which is the mispronunciation of "acoustic" (while in itself is a mispronunciation of autistic). Used when someone does something extremely annoying and stupid.

Dude, your honestly so atoustic.

Atavistic 

Acting like your ancestors, or just a really bloody good word for making your English teachers think that you're a God in English, and how to attract the hot women.

English GSCE: "Mr Hyde has an atavistic nature, acting on his gut instinct."
Pulling hot birds: "Hey babe that top looks highly atavistic ;)."
