For the most part. Early Rome itself would have been hard to tell apart from the Greek cities further South in Italy at the time, except for the use of Latin, and of course the inhabitants not beeing Greek themselves.

they didn't rip it off, they followed it, they just used different names. over time they adapted it to better suit their needs, just like the japanese did with everything ever.

and i was referring to the roman adoption of Christianity.

and mach, i was saying that i never did say that rome was the origin of anything.

...Rofl.


2. "Rome set the standard for overindulgence"

No. No they did not. Rome was relativley late for that party, and even at the heyday of the Empire was not as "indulgent" as some of the preceeding empires.

I'm named after a saint.

My name is Genevieve.

Pronunciation: Gen-eh-veev.

Origin:Celtic/Gaelic

It means: White Wave.

Urban Dictionary Definition:
A kick ass girl, who will bite your head off if you pronounce her name wrong.

Normally sexy and blond, or attractive and brunette. Originally from French background, ambitious and driven.

Artistic, talented, but modest, this girl doesn't think she's that great. Has everyone wrapped around her finger, by only being charming. Will attract haters, but only because of the attention she demands.

"Who IS that chick?"
"Foreign exchange student. Her name's Genevieve. DONT pronounce it wrong."

"Damn, I had the best night ever in Quebec. This girl Genevieve gave me a personal tour of the city, if you know what i mean. ;) "

"Hi, my name is Genevieve. Don't worry about it, you can call me Gen, a lot of people can"t say it. "

I lol'd at mine. -Roy

2. generally a name for a virile and attractive male, could possibly be a Fire Sign..like an Aries. Has a tendency to be stalked by older, unattractive, short women. Prone to being cockblocked. Has a hard time saying NO when necessary so may also be prone to "bad" touches and unnecessary roughness from short, hairy and detestable females when he's really dying inside at the thought. (think Ace Ventura and the shower and plunger scene)

no, just not when im tired and stubborn. :V

also:

A boy that can change a girl's heart from cold and broken, to full of love and happiness. He may be soft spoken but he has a lot to say. He is handsome and all the girls want him. He is athletic and strong, but still kind and gentle. He is hard working and very respectful. He does everything he can to make you happy. He's someone you want to spend the rest of your life with.

is a slang for huge cock

like incredibly huge.

The sweetest, most amazing guy to ever walk the face of the earth. The only guy to know just how to make me smile, even more, the only guy who will take the time to try.

He always puts himself last, even when he knows he should worry about himself. He is selfless, and never selfish.

The fucking shit, the most awesome person to ever live. He can kick your ass at anything and everything. Chris is a god among men.


buy chris mugs, tshirts and magnets
hott piece of ass that all the girls want to get at. his cock is huge and even if the ladies dont know it they will soon enough.

That sexy ass kid with brown hair and brown eyes. A Chris has an enormous penis that hot ass babes like to suck on.

If you know a Chris, you're one lucky motherfu**** thats gonna have a kick ass rest of their life.

A long time ago, it was like "To be gay, make gay advances, and then accuse another man of being gay." 'cause of Isaiah Washington. And that was funny.

Now it's just the typical blah blah some girl who likes some guy wrote it.

One of them is eerily simmilar to me, though, which makes me wonder.

*Grabs your ass*
