The spirit of the game is defined by the intended rules as perceved in reflection to the other rules, this most comes into place when the action in question is not governed by a set rule, in this case, you are bound to play by the spirit of the game.
When playing Monopoly©, if after a considerable number of turns have been taken by each player, and one player gets into trouble, and debt, insead of losing and congradulating the winner, he proposes to "join forces" with another player, shareing money, property, and victory. Tho this joining has no rules set aginst it, this is aginst the spirit of the game, point-and-case monopoly, tho not implicetly stated, is intended to be a 2+player game free for all match to join forces to tip the game in your favor, is aginst the spirit of the game.
Another example would be, if your friends and you are playing Magic the Gathering© and a pact is made between 3 of 4 players to not attack eachother until the fourth has been eliminated, the spirit of the pact would be to kill the fourth in a joint effort, before continueing normal play, the spirit of the pact would be broken if one of the players just builds forces ready to kill the other two as soon as the fourth is dead, tho the pact was not made with this event in mind, the one building forces might not be breaking a specific clause in the pact but it was not made intending to produce an armistice in wich one player can build an unbeatable force, not attacking the fourth was not a clause in the pact but that was the intention, the spirit of the pact.

The term "two-spirited" comes to us with a rich background of history and importance
In contemporary times, with the advent of lesbian and gay liberation, "two-spirited" means Aboriginal people who identify themselves as gay or lesbian
The terms "gay" and "lesbian" are European in origin, so the term "two-spirited" is preferred because it is more culturally relevant to Aboriginal lesbians and gay men
When Europeans came to Turtle Island they brought with them their religions, their values and their way of looking at the world. This adversely affected Aboriginal communities in many ways, including our sexual expression
Over time, we have come to believe that two-spirited First nations people are disgusting and perverse. We learn that before colonization that to be two-spirited was a gift, which had promise and potential. Two-spirited people were respected and honored; they were visionaries and healers in our communities. We have rediscovered that we continue to have a spiritual place in our world
Aboriginal culture is recognized for its emphasis on balance and harmony in all of creation. No one element, force or impulse dominates the others. The term two-spirited originates from the First nation's recognition of the traditions and sacredness of people who maintain a balance by housing both the male and female spirit
Some of our elders teach us that two-spirited people have a special place in our communities. We believe that two-spirited people have specific duties and responsibilities to perform. These include counseling, healing, being pipe carriers, visionaries (seers), and conducting oneself in accordance with our belief that respects all life
Based on historical evidence that comes from recorded material, out of ninety-nine tribes, there were references to Gay culture in eighty-eight of them, of which twenty made specific references to lesbianism. Among the Crow, for instance, two-spirited men were responsible for cutting down the tree which is used for the Sun Dance Ceremony
Coming together in the urban setting has allowed us to look at our sexuality from political perspectives, which allows us the re-empowerment of two-spirited people
Organizations such as 2-Spirited People of the 1st nations have been founded and give vitality to the vital role which two-spirited people have within Aboriginal communities. Through the decolonization process, we as two-spirited people are striving to reclaim our traditional positions within our nations and are taking our rightful place

Where some religions believe you will go if you don't lead a prosperous life. It is the Christian equivalent to hell. It's also fun to use in sentences for a replacement for the word hell.

Being outplayed for 95% of a football match by a far superior team, but somehow managing to stay level with them due to a five minute period of scoring a couple of goals, which usually includes a Liverpool player blatantly diving for a penalty (which nobody bats an eyelid about) and hanging on for penalties.
If it was any other team, especially against England, they'd be labelled "cynical", "negative" or old fashioned "cheating bastards", which England's moronic fans will bleat about for at least twenty years afterwards.
