Wrestling \Wres"tling\, n.       Act of one who wrestles; specif., the sport consisting of the       hand-to-hand combat between two unarmed contestants who seek       to throw each other.          Note: The various styles of wrestling differ in their                definition of a fall and in the governing rules. In          {Greco-Roman wrestling}, tripping and taking hold of the legs             are forbidden, and a fall is gained (that is, the bout is             won), by the contestant who pins both his opponent's             shoulders to the ground. In          {catch-as-catch-can wrestling}, all holds are permitted             except such as may be barred by mutual consent, and a fall             is defined as in Greco-Roman style.          {Lancashire style wrestling} is essentially the same as             catch-as-catch-can. In          {Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling} the contestants stand             chest to chest, grasping each other around the body. The             one first losing his hold, or touching the ground with any             part of his body except his feet, loses the bout. If both             fall to the ground at the same time, it is a dogfall, and             must be wrestled over. In the          {Cornwall and Devon wrestling}, the wrestlers complete in             strong loose linen jackets, catching hold of the jacket,             or anywhere above the waist. Two shoulders and one hip, or             two hips and one shoulder, must touch the ground to             constitute a fall, and if a man is thrown otherwise than             on his back the contestants get upon their feet and the             bout recommences.

Iron \I"ron\ ([imac]"[ucr]rn), n. [OE. iren, AS. [c6]ren,       [c6]sen, [c6]sern; akin to D. ijzer, OS. [c6]sarn, OHG.       [c6]sarn, [c6]san, G. eisen, Icel. [c6]sarn, j[be]rn, Sw. &       Dan. jern, and perh. to E. ice; cf. Ir. iarann, W. haiarn,       Armor. houarn.]       1. (Chem.) The most common and most useful metallic element,             being of almost universal occurrence, usually in the form             of an oxide (as hematite, magnetite, etc.), or a hydrous             oxide (as limonite, turgite, etc.). It is reduced on an             enormous scale in three principal forms; viz., cast iron,             steel, and wrought iron. Iron usually appears dark brown,             from oxidation or impurity, but when pure, or on a fresh             surface, is a gray or white metal. It is easily oxidized             (rusted) by moisture, and is attacked by many corrosive             agents. Symbol Fe (Latin Ferrum). Atomic weight 55.9.             Specific gravity, pure iron, 7.86; cast iron, 7.1. In             magnetic properties, it is superior to all other             substances.          Note: The value of iron is largely due to the facility with                which it can be worked. Thus, when heated it is                malleable and ductile, and can be easily welded and                forged at a high temperature. As cast iron, it is                easily fusible; as steel, is very tough, and (when                tempered) very hard and elastic. Chemically, iron is                grouped with cobalt and nickel. Steel is a variety of                iron containing more carbon than wrought iron, but less                that cast iron. It is made either from wrought iron, by                roasting in a packing of carbon (cementation) or from                cast iron, by burning off the impurities in a Bessemer                converter (then called Bessemer steel), or directly                from the iron ore (as in the Siemens rotatory and                generating furnace).          2. An instrument or utensil made of iron; -- chiefly in             composition; as, a flatiron, a smoothing iron, etc.                         My young soldier, put up your iron.   --Shak.          3. pl. Fetters; chains; handcuffs; manacles.                         Four of the sufferers were left to rot in irons.                                                                               --Macaulay.          4. Strength; power; firmness; inflexibility; as, to rule with             a rod of iron.          {Bar iron}. See {Wrought iron} (below).          {Bog iron}, bog ore; limonite. See {Bog ore}, under {Bog}.          {Cast iron} (Metal.), an impure variety of iron, containing             from three to six percent of carbon, part of which is             united with a part of the iron, as a carbide, and the rest             is uncombined, as graphite. It there is little free             carbon, the product is white iron; if much of the carbon             has separated as graphite, it is called gray iron. See             also {Cast iron}, in the Vocabulary.          {Fire irons}. See under {Fire}, n.          {Gray irons}. See under {Fire}, n.          {Gray iron}. See {Cast iron} (above).          {It irons} (Naut.), said of a sailing vessel, when, in             tacking, she comes up head to the wind and will not fill             away on either tack.          {Magnetic iron}. See {Magnetite}.          {Malleable iron} (Metal.), iron sufficiently pure or soft to             be capable of extension under the hammer; also, specif., a             kind of iron produced by removing a portion of the carbon             or other impurities from cast iron, rendering it less             brittle, and to some extent malleable.          {Meteoric iron} (Chem.), iron forming a large, and often the             chief, ingredient of meteorites. It invariably contains a             small amount of nickel and cobalt. Cf. {Meteorite}.          {Pig iron}, the form in which cast iron is made at the blast             furnace, being run into molds, called pigs.          {Reduced iron}. See under {Reduced}.          {Specular iron}. See {Hematite}.          {Too many irons in the fire}, too many objects requiring the             attention at once.          {White iron}. See {Cast iron} (above).          {Wrought iron} (Metal.), the purest form of iron commonly             known in the arts, containing only about half of one per             cent of carbon. It is made either directly from the ore,             as in the Catalan forge or bloomery, or by purifying             (puddling) cast iron in a reverberatory furnace or             refinery. It is tough, malleable, and ductile. When formed             into bars, it is called bar iron.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
warez d00dz /weirz doodz/ n.   A substantial subculture of    {cracker}s refer to themselves as `warez d00dz'; there is evidently    some connection with {B1FF} here.   As `Ozone Pilot', one former    warez d00d, wrote:          Warez d00dz get illegal copies of copyrighted software.   If it has       copy protection on it, they break the protection so the software       can be copied.   Then they distribute it around the world via       several gateways.   Warez d00dz form badass group names like RAZOR       and the like.   They put up boards that distribute the latest ware,       or pirate program.   The whole point of the Warez sub-culture is to       get the pirate program released and distributed before any other       group.   I know, I know.   But don't ask, and it won't hurt as much.       This is how they prove their poweress [sic].   It gives them the       right to say, "I released King's Quest IVXIX before you so       obviously my testicles are larger." Again don't ask...          The studly thing to do if one is a warez d00d, it appears, is emit    `0-day warez', that is copies of commercial software copied and    cracked on the same day as its retail release.   Warez d00ds also    hoard software in a big way, collecting untold megabytes of    arcade-style games, pornographic JPGs, and applications they'll    never use onto their hard disks.   As Ozone Pilot acutely observes:          [BELONG] is the only word you will need to know.   Warez d00dz want       to belong.   They have been shunned by everyone, and thus turn to       cyberspace for acceptance.   That is why they always start groups       like TGW, FLT, USA and the like.   Structure makes them happy. [...]       Warez d00dz will never have a handle like "Pink Daisy" because       warez d00dz are insecure.   Only someone who is very secure with a       good dose of self-esteem can stand up to the cries of fag and       girlie-man.   More likely you will find warez d00dz with handles       like:   Doctor Death, Deranged Lunatic, Hellraiser, Mad Prince,       Dreamdevil, The Unknown, Renegade Chemist, Terminator, and Twin       Turbo.   They like to sound badass when they can hide behind their       terminals.   More likely, if you were given a sample of 100 people,       the person whose handle is Hellraiser is the last person you'd       associate with the name.          The contrast with Internet hackers is stark and instructive.   See    {cracker}, {wannabee}, {handle}, {elite}; compare {weenie}, {spod}.

warez kiddies n.   Even more derogatory way of referring to    {warez d00dz}; refers to the fact that most warez d00dz are around    the age of puberty. Compare {script kiddies}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Works, Good       The old objection against the doctrine of salvation by grace,       that it does away with the necessity of good works, and lowers       the sense of their importance (Rom. 6), although it has been       answered a thousand times, is still alleged by many. They say if       men are not saved by works, then works are not necessary. If the       most moral of men are saved in the same way as the very chief of       sinners, then good works are of no moment. And more than this,       if the grace of God is most clearly displayed in the salvation       of the vilest of men, then the worse men are the better.                The objection has no validity. The gospel of salvation by       grace shows that good works are necessary. It is true,       unchangeably true, that without holiness no man shall see the       Lord. "Neither adulterers, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor       drunkards" shall inherit the kingdom of God.                Works are "good" only when, (1) they spring from the principle       of love to God. The moral character of an act is determined by       the moral principle that prompts it. Faith and love in the heart       are the essential elements of all true obedience. Hence good       works only spring from a believing heart, can only be wrought by       one reconciled to God (Eph. 2:10; James 2:18:22). (2.) Good       works have the glory of God as their object; and (3) they have       the revealed will of God as their only rule (Deut. 12:32; Rev.       22:18, 19).                Good works are an expression of gratitude in the believer's       heart (John 14:15, 23; Gal. 5:6). They are the fruits of the       Spirit (Titus 2:10-12), and thus spring from grace, which they       illustrate and strengthen in the heart.                Good works of the most sincere believers are all imperfect,       yet like their persons they are accepted through the mediation       of Jesus Christ (Col. 3:17), and so are rewarded; they have no       merit intrinsically, but are rewarded wholly of grace.
