"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

Code: Select all

cosplay.
"A play on the words "costume and play"
You basically act all "Dress up like ur fav character..." and stuff...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosplay

Cosplay (コスプレ, kosupure?), a contraction (or portmanteau) of the English words "costume" and "play", is a Japanese subculture centered on dressing as characters from manga, anime, tokusatsu, and video games, and, less commonly, Japanese live action television shows, fantasy movies, or Japanese pop music bands. However, in some circles, "cosplay" has been expanded to mean simply wearing a costume.

I'm not short on that but I prefer chastity. It's a kind of honour code. Doubt you'll understand. :lol:
