Another easy one Frank:
 
An abderian is a person that is possessed with going to the gym.  The term is most often used to refer to a woman but can also be used to describe a man.  Abderians are fanatical about having shapely stomachs (abdomins) and behinds (derrierres).

HahahahaAnaisabel! That �s why you are so happy all the time! I know your secret now!!LOL
Douglas: LOL
Yes you are almost right Anaisabel and douglas .In fact  "rian" comes from the French "rire, riant being the gerund of the verb" And Abde is the short for Abdel ( a well know Arabic name)
So in fact it tells us in short of Abdel running in the desert, laughing his *a......* off  after seeing Redbull �s today �s post in the forum!

Abderian... Ab= abdominals,  derian= a derivation of derriere. Therefore an abderian is a guy who has let himself go so much that his stomach looks like a floppy ass and I don �t mean donkey.

Abderian is a cowardly (nowadays we call it pacifist) knight who refuses to deraign (fight)

ab="not" as in "abnormal".

"Once upon a time there was a knight. He was an abderian. He�s never fought anyone..."
