"_________________(noun): A person who was raised on a planet where neither irony or sarcasm have been invented, and who thus takes every question at face value and answers it earnestly, no matter how bizarre it is. EXAMPLE: In response to "I've just dropped my hair-dryer into my guppy tank - anyone know where I can buy really, really small French fries?", such a person will provide (a) an animal rights rant (b) helpful advice about fixing the hair-dryer (c) a list of supermarkets where regular-sized French fries are available, concluding with: 'well, maybe you can try there - they just might have them!'

"_________________(noun): A female member of the Y! Answers community who chooses to post an actual photo of herself as her avatar, and is of above-average physical attractiveness.

Example: Q: 'Isn't Occam's Razor itself an unnecessary metaphysical entity?' A: 'Dunno, but you be FINE!!!"

"_________________(noun): A person who spends 7.3 minutes to post on Y! Answers a question which could have been answered in less than 43 seconds by typing it directly into Google or searching Wikipedia. Such a person leaves himself vulnerable to attack by a WIKIPEDE (n), a much-despised creature who will 'answer' the question by cutting and pasting the entire 7,899 word article from Wikipedia into Y!A with a note at the end that reads: 'Nuff said'."
