    Pixel: A kludge of a word made from the two words picture and element. It means one of the tiny dots on the screen of your computer monitor which, combined with thousands of others, comprise the image you see.

    Pendragon, your definition of bravado should win a blue ribbon. Or at least a slice of key lime pie. YesNo, your quip about self-image was clever and nifty.

    Murky: Water that has enough mud or pollution in it to make you think twice about swimming in it, or eating any fish you happen to catch

    Thanks for the shout out, Tyrion Cheddar!

    Unfiltered: The way I like my adult content. And when I say adult content, I do mean pro wrestling. Why, what did you think I meant?

    Hoodwink: 1) To fool, or to otherwise prevaricate. 2) Tiddlywinks as played in the hood.

    who am I but a stitch in time
    what if I were to bare my soul
    would you see me origami

    The hood: That dangerous part of town where guys go about in hoodies, which evidently causes enough fear for people's lives that they shoot unarmed people with impunity

    Justified: What you call millions of kids around the world when they fall in love with a little twerp from Canada who, starting with a simple video on YouTube, turned into an international (and very unfortunate) singing sensation.

    And tailor, your 'tiddlywinks as played in the hood' is another forum award winner.

    Grotesque: A word denoting something hideous and horrifying, whose appearance causes great distress, except in architectural parlance where it is a synonym for 'sublime' and 'progressive'.

    Danger:
    "I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche

    Danger: A perceived sense that something is about to cause you difficulty, distress, and pain. Also something that in the opinion of someone else could be damaging to you, your family, or your well being.

    Opinion:
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Opinion: A show of humility by acknowledging that the fact one has just stated might not be true.

    Humility: A level of moisture in the air low and comfortable enough so as not to call attention to itself.
