Anyone know what a Neophyte is?

[Brian4wheels]

I was just wondering. I was tooling around the site and just happened to look at my site given label and decided to ponder the question to anyone who might know. In hindsight I dislike the label because I don't like anyone labeling me but me unless their label for me is: Friend, Best Friend, Family or Boyfriend. Aside from that the label makes me feel like I have to strive to become something more and that smacks of effort and pressure lol. I'm Brian and that's all I wanna be and want people to see. Anywyay that's today's thought from your friendly neighborhood Neophyte, Brian ROFLMAO

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Look up neophyte in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.A neophyte is a beginner. In the context of Christianity, the term often refers to a newly ordained priest, a person who recently took a monastic vow, or a new convert to the religion.

In the Catholic and Orthodox Churches an adult convert is considered a neophyte for one year after conversion. Roman Catholic neophytes are considered full members of the Church, but may not act as sponsors for others planning to join.

In ecology, a neophyte is a plant species recently introduced to an area (in contrast to an archaeophyte, a long-established introduced species).

Neophyte may also refer to:

Neophyte (band), a Dutch group that produces Gabber/Hardcore music

Neophyte, a character in Warhammer 40,000

Yes, in the context of DGN, that's exactly what a Neophyte is. You're a Neophyte until you hit 100, then I believe you become a member. Inbetween that, on post 69 your title is "yeah baby" and at 42 it's "secret of life".

Nice.

I like it.

[TrixieGothGirl]

From what I found in the dictionary, it pretty much means beginner to something.

a little added pedantry:

etymology: neo-= new; -phyte= growth/one that grows

[Msterbeau]

It's a kind of fish.
