Very Nice but I think I'll keep mine B) It annoys people :P :lol: :lol:

I was thinking the other day (yes thinking :P ) What does Avatar actually mean??

So I thought I'd find my dictionary.........could'nt find one of them so got my book of words :)

Avatar:- appearance of a Hindu god inhuman form.......:-2:-person who seems to embody a quality or idea....

So why the feck do we call them Avatars???? :blink:

The meaning of Avatar

Longman's dictionary defines avatar as follows:

Avatar: (n)

1) Incarnation of Vishnu, a Hindu deity;

2) An embodiment of a concept or philosophy



The Oxford dictionary tells us that avatar can mean:

1) Descent of a deity to earth in an incarnate form (i.e., as in "the fifth avatar appeared as a dwarf")

2) A manifestation or presentation to the world (i.e., the avatar of mathematics)

3) A display

4) A phase



Webster's Dictionary also calls an avatar:

1) A manifestation or embodiment of a person, concept or philosophy.

2) A variant phase or version of a continuing basic entity.



The Random House dictionary describes an avatar as:

"An embodiment or concrete manifestation as of a principle attitude, way of life, or the like."


----------


So I guess an avatar is a physical representation of something we otherwise couldn't see. :blink:

nope, im careful to try and direct it, and i put a plastic sheet over my back and the back of my head so as not to get covered. This time i choose the bedroom, with disastrous results for my cat.

plus all the walls in this house stink of shit, its an unfortunate result of my fascination.
