Newbia's definitions
A form of government in which the head of goverment (a King or Queen) inherits the title.
Absolute Monarchy is where the King or Queen has absolute power and can do what he wants.
Constituitonal monarchy is when the King shares power with Parliament and must follow the rules of the constituition.
Originally, thousands of years ago, monarchy was so that one guy could control all and everyone would know who succeeded him. This way, there were no fights between people over things like laws or taxes because only one person decided that, and no fights over who would succeed him because it was his child. Unfortunately in many cases (I won't say most because that is an opinion) the ruler wasn't suited for the job and there were fights anyway. Because of this many countries either changed to Democracy or changed to Constitutional Monarchy.

Get the monarchy mug.A straight male who has a feminine side (especially caring about appearances). It used to be that when a man acted like this, people thought he was homosexual.
I used to find it sad that any man with some nice traits like dressing well or being able to cook was considered homosexual, but now I know he's metrosexual.

Get the strong suit mug.Character on Teen Titans TV show. All episodes concerning him were written when the writers were extremely high. Bizarre, but amusing. Probably insulting to British people.

Get the Mad Mod mug.A small vacation where you don't have school for a week in Spring, usually in March or April.
Spring Break is famouse because high schoolers and people in college often use this time to go to someplace warm (such as Florida or Cancun) and go wild and crazy, with lots of sex and beer.

Get the spring break mug.A channel on TV devoted to showing animated shows. During the day these shows are aimed at children. Later on you get a slightly older crowd and a lot of anime. Starting at 11 each night (except Fridays) you have adult swim, which is a block of programming devoted to animated shows targeted at the 14+ category.
Cartoon Network is a pretty good channel. It is better than Nickelodean (though I still think Nick's good) and adult swim is the best.

Get the cartoon network mug.A city in California, famous for Hollywood.
My Opinion:
I have only spent a few days in Los Angeles in my life, so I don't pretend to have an opinion on it (and you shouldn't pretend you know so much either unless you have lived there), but a lot of people hate this city. I find this sad because they assume the rest of California is also bad, and California is a wonderful state which I lived in for years.
