      Syn: Resentment; wrath; rage; fury; passion; ire gall;

               spleen.
  
      Usage: {Anger}, {Indignation}, {Resentment}, {Wrath}, {Ire},
                  {Rage}, {Fury}. Anger is a feeling of keen displeasure
                  (usually with a desire to punish) for what we regard
                  as wrong toward ourselves or others. It may be
                  excessive or misplaced, but is not necessarily
                  criminal. Indignation is a generous outburst of anger
                  in view of things which are indigna, or unworthy to be
                  done, involving what is mean, cruel, flagitious, etc.,
                  in character or conduct. Resentment is often a moody
                  feeling, leading one to brood over his supposed
                  personal wrongs with a deep and lasting anger. See
                  {Resentment}. Wrath and ire (the last poetical)
                  express the feelings of one who is bitterly provoked.
                  Rage is a vehement ebullition of anger; and fury is an
                  excess of rage, amounting almost to madness. Warmth of
                  constitution often gives rise to anger; a high sense
                  of honor creates indignation at crime; a man of quick
                  sensibilities is apt to cherish resentment; the wrath
                  and ire of men are often connected with a haughty and
                  vindictive spirit; rage and fury are distempers of the
                  soul to be regarded only with abhorrence.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   angry fruit salad n.   A bad visual-interface design that uses
   too many colors.   (This term derives, of course, from the bizarre
   day-glo colors found in canned fruit salad.)   Too often one sees
   similar effects from interface designers using color window systems
   such as {X}; there is a tendency to create displays that are flashy
   and attention-getting but uncomfortable for long-term use.
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   anchor
  
      (Or "span", "region", "button", "extent") An area
      within the content of a {hypertext} {node} (e.g. a {web page})
      which is the source or destination of a {link}.   A source
      anchor may be a word, phrase, image, or possibly the whole
      node.   A destination anchor may be a whole node or some
      position within the node.
  
      Typically, clicking with the {mouse} on a source anchor causes
      the link to be followed and the anchor at the opposite end of
      the link to be displayed.   Anchors are highlighted in some way
      (either always, or when the mouse is over them), or they may
      be marked by a special symbol.
  
      In {HTML} anchors are created with the .. construct.
      The opening A tag of a source anchor has an HREF (hypertext
      reference) attribute giving the destination in the form of a
      {URL} - usually a whole node or "page".   E.g.
  
     
      Free On-line Dictionary of Computing

  
      Destination anchors are only used in HTML to name a position
      within a page using a NAME attribute.   E.g.
  
     
  
      The name or "fragment identifier" is appended to the URL of
      the page with a "#":

      units than to have large pages with named sections).

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Anchor
      From Acts 27:29, 30, 40, it would appear that the Roman vessels
      carried several anchors, which were attached to the stern as
      well as to the prow. The Roman anchor, like the modern one, had
      two teeth or flukes. In Heb. 6:19 the word is used
      metaphorically for that which supports or keeps one steadfast in
      the time of trial or of doubt. It is an emblem of hope.
     
         "If you fear,
     
         Put all your trust in God: that anchor holds."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Anger
      the emotion of instant displeasure on account of something evil
      that presents itself to our view. In itself it is an original
      susceptibility of our nature, just as love is, and is not
      necessarily sinful. It may, however, become sinful when
      causeless, or excessive, or protracted (Matt. 5:22; Eph. 4:26;
      Col. 3:8). As ascribed to God, it merely denotes his displeasure
      with sin and with sinners (Ps. 7:11).
