This study can be limited to one language or can cover more than ...

Culturally, many urban Australians have had very generalised terms for the otherwise complex range of environments that exist within the inland sections of the continent. Regional terminology can be very specific to specific locations in each mainland state. Western Australians have for instance 'the goldfields' which usually designate Kalgoorlie and beyond. "The Never-Never" is a term referring to remoter parts of the Australian outback. The outback can be also referred to as "back of beyond", "back o' Bourke" or "way out past Bumblefuck", although these terms are more frequently used when referring to something a long ...

The word Puritan is now applied unevenly to a number of Protestant churches from the late 16th century to the early 18th century. Puritans did not, by and large, use the term for themselves. It was a term of abuse that first surfaced in the 1560s. "Recusants", "Precisemen", and "Precisions" were other early antagonistic terms for Puritans who preferred to call themselves "the godly." The word "Puritan" was thus always a descriptor of a type of religious belief, r ...

The use of the word Chozo in reference to the bird-like race is actually the result of a miscommunication between Nintendo Co. Ltd and Nintendo of America. The word chozo (彫像) is actually Japanese for sculpture (lit. carved statue), and was used in reference to the sculptures of the bird-like race that hold power ups in the various games. Hence, the localization team incorrectly thought that this word was referring to the race the sculptures were depicting, rather than the actual sculptures themselves. In the Japanese versi ...

Because ethnicity is a politically loaded and historically painful topic in South Africa, it can be useful to consider the Cape Malay identity as the product of a set of histories and communities at least as much as it is a real definition of an ethnic group. Further, since many Cape Malay people find their Muslim identity to be more salient than their "Malay" ancestry, there have also been many instances in which people in one situation were described as "Cape Malay", and were in another situation described as "Cape Muslim" by people both i ...

Stallman places great importance on the words people use to talk about the relationship between software and freedom.

The specialized two- and three-letter abbreviations used within the devotee-wannabe community logically follow from the types of limb amputations possible. AK: above knee BK: below knee AE: above elbow BE: below elbow The addition of L or R indicates right or left. LBK would thus describe the state of Heather Mills McCartney, Paul McCartney's wife since 2002, whose left leg required removal below the knee after a motorcycle accident in 1993. Identical amputations on both sides of the body are prefaced by a "D": DAK would describe a double above-knee amputee. These are also known as "bilat ...
