@#*!: Common Gaian curse. Enjoyable to spout when you have been cheated in a game, or when your post doesn't go through, or perhaps even when you discover that you have worked for eight hours to receive eight pairs of Jack's Uniform Pants. Apparently, it is perfectly respectable in mixed company, as it has been heard while fishing, in the Gambino Casino, and even while wandering around Town, when your rare bug escapes its net or someone with a faster connection that you gets to the flower you wanted before you do.

300: An incredible movie that came out in March of 2007. An action film that changes the way people think about action films, it won every award in the world (at the same time), resurrected Satan and had an epic battle with him that eventually led to the Second coming of Christ, made the blind and deaf into pimps, had mutated hunchback babies with lesbians, and spewed out three-hundred sets of amazing abs. In short: The movie is so good, you can masturbate to it.

Aaron McGruder: Creator and spearhead of the TV show and comic strip
The Boondocks. A man who not only knows where his towel is, but also his spare towel and cup of tea. Always staying fresh while staying intellectual, Aaron is constantly re-inventing his series into something even better than it was before. Current worth of the man is still less than Oprah, but higher than R. Kelly.

Admin: The most important people in Gaia. While seeming to have almost omnipotent power over the forum, their lack of omnipresence leads to more trouble than ordinary people may deal with. Some Gaians worship them hand and foot while others claim that every problem on Gaia is due to fault of the admins.
Admin, The: The pixelated embodiment of the consciousness that springs about when the collection of Admins of Gaia get together to plan and develop things. She sticks around during the creation of various features on Gaia and disappears shortly after announcing said features. Since Gaia is constantly in a state of development she is around most of the time. Previously seen as a shadow of a male due to a lack of proper interest in the community she changed her look (or lack thereof) to something more appropriate for the community after hearing many comments of fandom. She now takes up her time informing people of their market goings on and several other things. She still, however, posts updates. Presumably from her black laptop.

Adult Swim: A popular late night program which plays cartoons that are not exactly "child friendly", such as "Family Guy" "American Dad" "Futurama" "Sealab 2021" "Venture Brothers" "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" and so on. They also play anime shows from Japan that most people would not be able to see like "Fullmetal Alchemist" and an extremely disturbing show that gives some people nightmares, known as "Super Milk Chan".
The editor of the Don't Panic sometimes makes animations which are rip offs of Adult Swim "bumps" (See Radio.pocky) that are very funny*.
Note: The name "Adult Swim" is from a common term, which refers to the time of day at a pool when all children are ordered out of the water so the adults may swim in peace. This made the name "adult swim" almost perfect for the program since it occurs at a time when most children are asleep and "Adults" may watch TV in peace.

Aekea Housing Commission: A store in Aekea run by Josie (See: Josie). You can 'buy' a house here. The odd thing about Gaia is that a house is free for anyone who wants one. You can also upgrade or remodel your existing house. Un/fortunately you cannot demolish your house once it's built.

Agatha: The owner of Barton's Jewelry shop, this matron sells small trinkets made out of silver and gold, along with various forms of glasses. It is believed that she is Logan's love interest, since she brought him Christmas dinner last winter when he was ice fishing. Even if Logan does love her, it's most certainly not for the fact that her store is quite possibly the most profitable in all of Gaia. She admitted that she was acquainted with Edmund, the owner of H. R. Weasley in Durem, but she has refused to say any more on that particular subject. Rumor has it that she used to love Edmund during their younger days, but was spurned by him, and thus has turned to Logan to heal her broken heart.

Akralic Slang: The complete slang definitions compiled by Sora-beki, Timothy Johnston, Skeilletto, and Saiji. While there may, in actuality, be many more, there is currently only 14 known words.
Akral: Used to describe people or close relation. As it would be in use: "Hey, my peoples!" would be "What's good, my akral?"
Abronas: A person who should not be messed with. As it would be in use: "That's one hard-core gangsta..." would be "That is one cold abronas, right there. Wasted two akrals in three seconds."
Kamra: Boy who is often mistaken for a girl. Pretty self-explanatory.
Shceizii: Means cool. As it would be in use: "That's one cool dude" would be "That's one smooth shceizii."
Shotzii: Term to describe someone of low value. As it would be in use: "That freak is so jacked up." would be "That is one shotzii akral over there."
Shipzii: A term of extreme prejudice. While it has no racial preference, it would be like slapping the "n" word to every person alive. There will be no example, since it's pretty much a forbidden word.
Shcoola: Means quick-witted. As it would be in use: "Sharp kid. Too bad he's a politician." would be "That shcoola's got a mouth on 'im."
Teimur: Phrase to describe good music that is easy to relate to.
Keila: Phrase to describe generally un-tasteful music. Like country or polka.
Jater: Word used to describe feelings of confusion. As it would be in use: "Dude, I don't get it." would be "All is hear is jater. Wtf is going on?"
Sisto: Means player. Self-explanatory.
Hoopskies: The same as saying "killer", like, "That's totally killer".
Goet (like Goat): Very knowledgeable person of high integrity. Usually refers to a nerd with style.
Cammy: A very grungy person who doesn't care about appearences.

Alchemy: The study of alchemy and the law of equivalent exchange has recently become something of interest among anime fans thanks to the wondrous show "FullMetal Alchemist" which is on Adult Swim (See
Adult Swim), in the early wee hours of the morning.
Alchemy, originally, in China was created to find immortality, as the old Chinese prophets believed that life was the most important treasure. Farther West, however, they believed gold to be more important than life, so the English version of Alchemy was created to find how to turn lead to gold. While both East and West versions of Alchemy were both utter failures, they did help push science further and help us learn more about elements, adding to the periodic table of elements. A researching monk accidentally discovered phosphorous, during a alchemy experiment.
Though no one really cares, cause the "Fullmetal Alchemist" version of alchemy is so much more interesting. In fact its so cool that it often leads to people trying to draw alchemy arrays, slapping their hands together, and becoming surprised or angry when no flashing light appears. It can also lead to people getting hit with metal objects, mini-skirts, brothers being called "nii-san" in annoying high-pitched voices, and ofcourse short, insane, blonde, people hurting you.*

Alcohol: Here's what the Encyclopedia Gaiatica has to say about alcohol. It says that alcohol is a colourless volatile liquid formed by the fermentation of sugars and also notes its intoxicating effect on certain carbon-based life forms. The Hitchhiker's Guide to Gaia has this to say on
Alcohol: The best drink in existence is the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. The effect of a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick. The Guide also tells you in which pubs the best Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters are mixed (Paradise Lights), how much you can expect to pay for one (5 gold) and what voluntary organizations exist to help you rehabilitate afterwards (there's a trashcan outside of the cafe). The Guide even tells you how you can mix one yourself (you add two essence of n00bs together with a dictionary and tell them to get at it).
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Gaia sells rather better than the Encyclopedia Gaiatica.

Anarchism: A type of 'government' in which small communities share amongst themselves, focusing on equality. There is little to no individual wealth, and the abolition of corrupt/exploitive institutions is high on the agenda. There is no official government, instead being a collective ownership where the people directly rule themselves. Although Anarchism has had no real chance to prove itself as a country's 'government', it comes about by the destruction of the government.

Angst: often confused with anxiety, is a transcendent emotion in that it combines the unbearable anguish of life with the hopes of overcoming this seemingly impossible situation. Without the important element of hope, then the emotion is anxiety, not angst. Angst denotes the constant struggle one has with the burdens of life that weighs on the dispossessed and not knowing when the salvation will appear.
Quote:
An airplane crashes into the side of a remote snow-covered mountain; those passengers that worry about their lives without hopes of survival only face anxiety. In contrast, those passengers who worry about their lives with hopes of survival but do not know when the rescue party will arrive face angst.
"In my angst, anger, and anguish, I lived and died." M.O.A.

They make their own computers for use with their own little OS and for this reason work better than most PCs. They also come with some pretty awesome bundled applications, like GarageBand or Calculator, or Dashboard. Any of these delivering hours of fun to anyone with nothing to do, granted their definition of fun includes carpal tunnel.
You should also be warned that Macs do create an awful amount of smugness toward PC users. For this reason you are advised to avoid Mac users and never, ever argue that either is better than the other. Its impossible for a Mac user to confess that PCs are nothing more than glorified calculators. This researcher included.

April Fool's Blue Giftbox: The blue giftbox was a fake rumor that was started during the First Anniversary Ball. However, they were heard from again on April fool's day, 2004, where they would appear almost every other page. Opening upon clicking, they would cause avatars to go naked down to their undergarments, and would shoot black soot all over your face. They also caused the counter that displays your gold to show random numbers, making people think that they had somehow become multi-billionaires. They did not show up in inventory, and sooty faces were removed by saving your avatar an hour after being sooted.
[Edit by ThePrizeFighterInferno : Some people deleted their characters and then opened the April Fools boxes and became strange creatures called the Invisibobs (see invisibobs.)]

Avatar: An avatar is a pixel image located to the right or left of a users posts. An avatar can be modified in many ways by adding clothes, changing the hair, skin color, and eye color. The way a user modifies this image can be very useful in determining the gold and experience of the user. You may notice that many avatars are quite nude while others are very vividly dressed in wonderfully complimenting colors. This is where the problem lays though when trying to determine how much gold the user has and whether or not to beg for it from them. A nude avatar may in fact belong to a user with gold in the thousands, while a user may spend every bit of gold they have on the cleverly dressed avatar. There are also certain items of clothing commonly associated with n00bs though, such as the 'flame' clothing for males. So indeed the 'Avatar' can be both a good and bad way of telling things about a user before you even talk to them.

Avatar Arena: The Avatar Arena is the new place to show off one's avatar style for all of Gaia. There is one contest per week, and the winner of each week takes home 50,000g, with the others in the top ten taking no less than 10,000g each. However, with the cost of 1000g per entry, it is relatively clear of poorly-dressed n00bs. Thus, most entries are well-dressed, or have rather unique concepts for their avatars.

Avatar Edits: An avatar edit is baiscally when a person paints or "edits" a Gaia avatar to make it appear like it has certain items or features that Gaia does not have. There are many different ways and programs to do this, not all of which this researcher knows or can list.
Some common edits include, making hair appear longer, shorter, or with stripes, changing facial expressions, making an avatar appear pregnant, or making an avatar look like a fictional character from a movie or TV show.
Please note that these avatars are not legitimate Gaia avatars and should not be confused with Gaia NPC's If you would like to learn more or look at some nifty avatar edits, maybe even get one of your own, I suggest you try

Babelfish: A site used to translate text into several different languages. Poorly. Anime type noobs often use this device to masquerade as Asian or AZN people. This plan falls through of course, because those who are truly Asia dwelling Gaians or can actually speak an Asian language will expose the AZN poser for their true nature. The Babelfish has yet to prove that lanzer doesn't exist.
Backread: To read posts made in one's absence. Generally, backreading is unnecessary, people make posts all the time and most of them don't matter for squat. Gaians are recommended to resist the urge (however strong) to backread threads after being gone for a week or more.

Bait: There are three varieties of bait used for fishing: F, D, and A. Grade F is only suitable for fish, and it would usually catch you the small and medium-sized species. Grade D can be consumed by both humans and fish, and is used to catch larger species of fish. However, if one wants a rare, one must get Grade A, which, according to sources, is absolutely delicious. Some fishers just get a bunch of Grade F bait for the day, and save one packet of Grade A for them self to munch on while they try to catch a live one instead of Trash.

Bank, The: A truly odd thing about gaian culture is that two gaians cannot simply stop and exchange items on the street.

Bannded Shirts: A set of three simple white sweaters with a green, red, or blue stripe on the left sleeve. The description for the shirts reads, "Wear this sweater and you'll be bannded from this site!" They seem like innocent enough items... to those who don't know their history. Released on January 23, 2004, the admin shocked Gaia by releasing the Bannded Shirts with a much more controversial description, "Wear this sweater and you'll be bannded from this site! Just like Wacko Jacko... freakin' child molester." At the time of the release, the child molestation case of Michael Jackson, famous pop singer, was all over the news, and the singer had been branded by pundits with the name 'Wacko Jacko'. All across Gaia fights began to break out about over Michael Jackson- was he really guilty? Was it libel for the admin to imply Jackson's guilt without proof? Was the description even appropriate for a site frequented by children? In a halfhearted and dishonest attempt to silence protestors, the admin claimed that the items' descriptions referred not to Michael Jackson, but to a user on Gaia named 'Jacko the Wacko'. Some of the dimmer bulbs in the crowd accepted this, but most users didn't buy it. On January 25th, two days later, the admin decided to delete the second half of the description, leaving it as it stands today.

Batman: When he was a small child, Bruce Wayne saw his parents gunned down in front of him. Instead of just accepting it and moving on, Bruce decided to take on the mantle of 'Batman' in order to avenge his parents. Operating as a suave playboy by day, at night Bruce stalks the streets of Gotham with such weapons as the 'Bat-arang', 'Bat-mobile', 'Bat-signal' and 'Bat-can of Shark Repellent'. Often, Batman is accompanied by Robin, his Bat-protege whom he may or may not (probably may) be making sweet Bat-love to. At one time, Batman can be found making Bat-love to half the females of the DC Universe at the same time. His 'tough guy' attitude makes him rather annoying to some readers. There are things like a 'Bat-TV show', a 'Bat-cartoon', and some 'Bat-movies', but those things are unmentionable and heretic. And no, he cannot beat Superman's a**, no matter what Frank Miller says.

Bio Whores: This is not only a very silly race but a very inconvenient one for the average respectable towel-bearing Gaian. They tend to breed in exactly the wrong place at the wrong time.
They go around, write up a bio, exit, write up a bio, exit, write up a bio, exit, pause to alter their race, write up a bio, and then exit, etc.
(Most common races are angel/demon/fox/school girl/Yellow/and Douglas.)
After tracking a particular Bio Whore (Who shall remain nameless due to lack of memory) I've come to the conclusion that they tend to hang around the first page of the BT main threads, dropping their seed into every RP on the main page, then waiting for more rps to spawn so they can continue in this fashion.
Bio Whores are mostly harmless on most cases, but the situation can get quite hostile in private RPs. My advice is to ward them off with nice long front pages of text. Many Bio Whores will cower and retreat to a less guarded area. (Or you could just push the red button, but I'm not responsible for what happens.)

Bio Whores 2.0: In recent developments, Bio Whores seem to be splitting into two species. Over the past year or so a mutation has spawned, 'causing the new generation of Bio whores to have very little speech and a whole lot of picture.
Silly a development as it may be, the Bio Whores have gone from somewhat respectable beings (though still quite silly) which take actual time to write out their Bio's to writing quick write-ups with some obsenely large picture often ripped and over-used in various sigs and other public areas of Gaia. Remains of the previous bloodline of Bio Whores as of late are few and far between.
There is little that can be done about the new breed of Bio Whores aside from running away like a frightened child and contacting your closest Mod with the message: 1-800-BRAIN-ASPL(ODE)

PC users quickly discover that the windows applications that they have learned to use, are altered with BootCamp, and are much, much harder to use on an Apple, if only because the computer does not have a mouse with a right and left click button.
Elitist Mac users are left looking at BootCamp and wondering, "What the ********? Microsoft sucks! Why would I use this when I can do so much more with the Original Mac applications already installed?"
And so, most people who use it are left wishing that they could surgically sew Steve Jobs to Bill Gates, in order to prove how
Wrong and
Painful, such a union is.

Bot: The Bot is a tool used by users who are either too lazy or inconsiderate of the damage it could (and does) cause to gain gold. The Bot is a program created by users that will either automatically refresh a page every few seconds to obtain gold, or will post at random a message (most often "bump"
wink in forums (most often Chatterbox).

Breedables:Pictures of magical animals, mythical peoples, and sometimes food products that can "grow" and "breed". These pictures are referred to as pets, and are often used in roleplaying to encourage growth and develop relationships with other people's pets. Common Breedables of varying quality are dragons, fairies, and kitsunes. Breedables of quality lineart, coloring, and roleplaying storylines are often hard to find and are very expensive. It is in this person's opinion that it is best to just wait for freebies of the better quality Breedables, due to the fact that the pets that are available for flatsales, auctions, and contests attract a large number of highly competitive people.

Breedables Whore: A Gaian who is obsessed with Breedable/Changeable pets and their role-play. While these people can usually be cheerful (typically, the cuter the pet they own, the nicer the person is) they are very protective of their territory. This can be anything from the thread that they role-play in, but is most commonly the Journals or Houses that they start in the Breedable/Changeable Pets Roleplay forum. While in these, they will not hesitate to sic their pets on you or attack you with random objects should you post in their thread. You may also get thwacked if you enter a roleplay/shop combination thread and forget to post anything non-roleplay in parentheses "()" or brackets "[]".
Most breedable whores tend to spend a lot of gold on their pets and pets for their friends. Where it really gets pricey is when they get into the customs. You can discover most pet owners have spent the equivalent of the current worth of a Halo once they get addicted to customs on simple pieces of artwork, much as the writer of this entry has.

Bucking Bino: There is a rare species of fish at the Port of Gambino, and that species have been split into three: Bucking Bino, Charchin' Chino, and Tootin Tino. The Bucking Bino is the strongest of the three, and thus if one wishes to catch him, they might invest in a
lot of fishing lines. Bucking Bino only comes out during the Day.

BUG: Stands for "Bitter, Ugly, and Gross", is a bug price guide. Run by a very helpful guy called "Boxed Lunch". BUG not only gives you the current market price of bugs, but also flowers and trash. It also has a small "Gaia Towns Guide", a lesson in clearing your cache, and how to improve your screen resolution.
In short, it is a well-organized, spiffy thread run by a man who knows where his towel is and it can be found
HERE.

Bump: Not allowed in some forums, it is the most common way of generating gold and raising your post count. It's a common myth that the longer the post, the more gold. Not true, but many n00bs believe it, resulting in page-stretching, which is highly annoying. It stands for Bring Up My Post.

Bunnypop: She was a regular of the Exchange forum and became well known for a short time after when during a glitch every member's recent posts were lost and showed only those of Bunnypop. Normally this wouldn't be such a big deal, but since thread subscriptions were down at the time, recent posts were the only (reliable) way to find some topics. She has since left Gaia, her last log-in being "12/28/2004" according to her profile.
