Chris is a short form of various names including Christopher, Christian, Christina, Christine, and Christos. Unlike these names, however, it does not indicate the person's gender although it is much more common for males to have this name than it is for females.
It is the preferred form of the full name of such notable individuals as Chris Tucker and Chris Penn. To find an article about one of these people, see List of all pages beginning with "Chris".
The word is also part of phrases, including Tropical Storm Chris, Ruth's Chris Steak House, and many more which refer to notable people, places, and things. For a list of these, see All pages with titles containing chris.
Christopher Cross "Chris" Griffin is a character from the animated television series Family Guy. He is the elder son and middle child of Peter and Lois Griffin, brother of Stewie and Meg Griffin. Chris is voiced by Seth Green. Originally designed as a rebellious teenager, Chris' personality on the show has evolved to unhygienic and mentally immature. Running gags involving Chris in the series include the existence of an 'Evil Monkey' in his closet (though it is later revealed that the monkey is not evil), and his pedophile admirer Herbert.
Chris' character resembles Milt, the son of the main character Larry Cummings in The Life of Larry, one of the animated short films created by Seth MacFarlane at the Rhode Island School of Design in 1995 that led to the development of Family Guy. Chris was originally given a "punk" image, according to creator Seth MacFarlane's DVD commentary tracks. He wore earrings during the first three seasons, and his painful awkwardness was not as emphasized as it is later in the series.
Christopher (surname unknown) (born 17 July 1983), commonly known as Chris (Simpsons artist), is an anonymous cartoonist known for his comedic and deliberately childlike caricatures and stream-of-consciousness writing.
Chris was born in England, where he spent his childhood before moving to Scotland.
Chris says that he was first inspired to become an artist when watching The Simpsons at the age of five. He began to draw the characters to pass the time. He still caricatures fictional characters such as the cast of The Simpsons, and signs each of his comments with the qualifier "(Simpsons artist)". He is also known for caricaturing real people currently at the centre of the media's attention at that time, such as Prince William and Kate Middleton at the time of their wedding. He incurred controversy in May 2011 when he posted a caricature of Osama bin Laden.
As a result of his cult following, Chris has been given regular spreads in magazines such as FHM and Front. His career and style were summarised by FHM as "he's the Internet's Picasso, he lives in Scotland somewhere, no one knows his real name, and he does slightly unnerving pictures of famous people". In 2011, Front praised Chris for what they described as his "so-bad-they're-actually-bloody-amazingly-good illustrations". In May 2012, a selection of Chris' artwork was displayed at the IG:LU art gallery in Inverness.
Kohl may refer to:
Kohl is a German surname. Notable people with the surname include:
Kohl is an ancient eye cosmetic, traditionally made by grinding stibnite (Sb2S3). It is widely used in South Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, and parts of West Africa as eyeliner to contour and/or darken the eyelids and as mascara for the eyelashes. It is worn mostly by women, but also by some men and children.
Kohl has also been used in India as a cosmetic for a long time. In addition, mothers would apply kohl to their infants' eyes soon after birth. Some did this to "strengthen the child's eyes", and others believed it could prevent the child from being cursed by the evil eye.
The Arabic name كحل kuḥl and the Biblical Hebrew כחל kaḥal (cf. modern Hebrew כחול "blue") are cognates, from a Semitic root k-ḥ-l. Transliteration variants of Arabic dialectal pronunciation include kol, kehal or kohal.
The Arabic word was loaned into a number of languages with the spread of Islam.
The Persian word for kohl is sorme.
It is known as either surma/sirma or kājal/gājal in South Asia.

We saw this girl performing the classic Honeybee "Washboard Dance" this morning as a solo performance. This is a not uncommon occurrence in the honeybee world, but it usually invoves dozes or even hundreds of bees. It's purpose is not understood at this time. Watch her front legs as she makes a sort of scraping action. This is a very typical action of the "dance".
