i cant use this word any longer

Avatar

it use to mean something other than a movie. now every time i use it i get "like the movie?" stuff.

it use to mean something. now its just a blue 3 meter tall alien with a tail.
its as if its a part of the namespace and i cant write it in a compiler.
just today my dad took the computer to play half life and asked if he can close the compiler. the file that had to be saved was something with the word avatar, and he asked "so you're doing avatar now?".
no, I'm giving birth to an incarnation of a Hindu god, that's what I'm doing.

i need to start thinking about a new word for that purpose.. one Hollywood didn't have a change to corrupt yet.
and to think most people don't even know what the word means..

poor Navi gui.. it didn't know what hit him..
