Mr./Ms. Right

A supernatural being that has inherited the powers of Proteus and uses them to don the guise of whatever love interest currently holds our attention. Once the victim's attention has been goaded and he or she is compelled to follow, Mr./Ms. Right then vanishes, but always reappears again, forcing his or her weary victims into endless pursuit of desperate futility.

science fiction

A genre of naturalistic fantasy that usually has no basis whatsoever in scientific fact.
'Star Wars' is not science fiction; it's a big dumb fantasy movie about space wizards. 'The Matrix' is not science ficiton either; it's a comic book action movie with a pretentious pseudo-philosophy thrown in. What then, constitutes science fiction? A piece that actually cares about the plausibility of its ideas; a rarified sub-set of literature and cinema to be certain.

infanticide

The fate of many female newborns in China.

In the Us, one of the two forms of murder legal in the US, considering that a baby born prematurely would be fully protected by the law, while inside the womb it could be aborted.
You aren't a life unless I say you are! Infanticide? Nonsense, you can't murder a piece of tissue.

orc

1. A caricature of the Incredible Hulk with an over-large head, giant-sized tusks and muscled limbs so disproportionately thick he can't move them. He usually carries an obscenely large axe, and sometimes wears a silly horned Brunhilda helmet for good measure. His jaws are always agape in a permanent moronic grimace so we can see his yellowed tusks, but how he manages to close his mouth remains a mystery.

2. In the 1st and 2nd edition D&D game, a race of warlike humanoids with porcine snouts who are closely related to humans and can interbreed with them.

3. In J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-Earth, a race of creatures that were once elves, but have been corrupted by the dark powers of Morgoth and serve Sauron and Sauroman during the war of the ring. They were, in a sense, Tolkien's critique of industrial warfare. Also known as "goblins".
I play as an orc so I can take advantage of starting off with a 20 Strength as a 1st level barbarian with my Hackmaster +12.

spirituality

1. Belief in the spirit, soul, often as it relates to religious, sacred, or otherwise noncorporeal matters. A little metaphysics and philosophy are peripherally related as well, as its purpose is to give us perspective on life and what to do with it.

2. The application of any sort of philosophy, however defined, regardless of whether the person in question has any spiritual beliefs or not. This use of the word is so vague that it can be redefined to mean anything, even something that is completely materialistic.
I'm sorry, "belief in the laws of science" is not spirituality. "Realising your own inner divinity" is not spirituality. "Being nice to people" is not spirituality. If you have no spiritual beliefs, you are not spiritual, simple as that.

Of course, one shouldn't be afraid to call oneself and atheist or agnostic. It doesn't mean you are shallow, immoral, closed-minded, intellectually dishonest, or anything of that sort.

race

There are four major definitions of this word, in order of importance:

1. Genus, species, or kind. Up until about 30,000 years ago, there were other races of humans, which included Neanderthals and Archaics, but they are thought to have been indirectly out-competed by modern Homo sapiens.

2. Any competition of speed or display of rapid movement.

3. Any fictional sentient species featured in fantasy or science fiction literature that is effectively human for purposes of characterization. In role-playing games, different races (i.e. elves, dwarves, humans, halflings etc.) can be selected for play, each with it's own inherent advantages and disadvantages.

4. A word wrongly applied to refer to the 6 major populations of modern Homo sapiens, which bear different skin colors but no important genetic differences.
"Would you date a person of another race?" some dude on a foum asked me.

"If she were an elf, half-elf, or halfling, maybe. Otherwise no." I replied.

desire

Under no circumstances should one fuse desire and expectation, as that leads to hope, which prolongs suffering.
