A monk (from Greek: μοναχός, monachos, "single, solitary") is a person who practices religious asceticism, living either alone or with any number of other monks. A monk may be a person who decided to dedicate his life to serve the other living beings or to be an ascetic who voluntarily chooses to leave mainstream society and live his life in prayer and contemplation. The concept is ancient and can be seen in many religions and in philosophy.
In the Greek language the term can apply to women; but in modern English it is in use only for men, while nun is used for female monastics.
Although the term monachos (“monk”) is of Christian origin, in the English language it tends to be used analogously or loosely also for both male and female ascetics from other religious or philosophical backgrounds.
The term monk is generic and in some religious or philosophical traditions it therefore may be considered interchangeable with other terms such as ascetic. However, being generic, it is not interchangeable with terms that denote particular kinds of monk, such as cenobite, hermit, anchorite, hesychast, solitary.

Plot
Boy Called Twist is the harrowing tale of a South African street-kid's search for love, based on Charles Dickens' classic Oliver Twist. Growing up neglected in a rural orphanage, Twist escapes to the unpredictable freedom of Cape Town, where he falls in with Fagin's gang of street urchins. With a gritty honesty steeped in its vibrant characters, Boy called Twist superbly captures the contemporary equivalents of Dickens' seedy individuals as it shadows the timeless tale in its own inimitable style.

Swifty Mists of Pandaria Monks (gameplay/commentary)
Girls, they're just a waste of time
I buy them drinks all night
But just get out my mind
Everytime I take one home
They only use my phone
I ain't got one my own
Well, life is rough for an adolescent tough
Even when you're good looking like me
I wouldn't say no to a little bit of stuff
No, not many
'Cause I ain't gettin' any
Joe, he ain't no Romeo
Thease dollies come and go
What's he got, I don't know
Once I brought this tasty chick
I thought, "Now this is it"
She said, "I'm feeling sick."
Well, life is rough for an adolescent tough
Even when you're good looking like me
I wouldn't say no to a little bit of stuff
No, not many
'Cause I ain't gettin' any
Aurrgh, I think I'll play some guitar...
Sounds good, doesn't it.
Well, life is rough for an adolescent tough
Even when you're good looking like me
I wouldn't say no to a little bit of stuff
No, not many
'Cause I ain't gettin' any
Bought myself this flash coupé
I cruised around all day
And it got towed away
Took this bird out to a show
We had the whole back row
She kept on sayin' no, no, NO!
Well, life is rough for an adolescent tough
Even when you're good looking like me
I wouldn't say no to a little bit of stuff
No, not many
'Cause I ain't gettin' any
I ain't gettin' much
I ain't gettin' any
I ain't gettin' much
I ain't gettin' any
I ain't gettin' much

Love in Stereo
Arstist: The Monks.
Why am I in love in stereo
with a girl on either side
you might well look on and envy me
but this feelin` isn`t so hi-fi
Just a boy in love in stereo
when we dance it`s not much fun
I can`t choose `cause they`re identical
and I can`t move without the other one
One wants to stay at home the other wants the night out
One wants to read in bed the other wants the light out
I really don`t know what to do `cause I`m in love with you...
and you... and you
Why am I in love in stereo
where to start, I can`t decide
`cause makin` love is two dimentional
and I`m much more a mono man inside
Now that I`m in love in stereo
There`s one thing I can`t deny
oo when we kiss, we reach hi frequency
but I prefer the reproduction side
One wants to stay at home the other wants the night out
one wants to read in bed the other wants the light out
one wants to marry me the other wants to break up
one wants to call it off the other wants to make up
I really don`t know what to do, `cause I`m in love with you...
and you, and you.
Why am I, in love in stereo
Oo why am I, in love in stereo
I said why am I in love in stereo
why am I in love in stereo
why am I in love in stereo

Nice Legs Shame About The Face
Met her on a blind date, helping out an old mate
Waiting at the corner, she's be dressed in black
There was I expecting a really tasty bird
He said she was good looking, I should have doubt his word
When I saw her there she was a real disgrace
I thought nice legs shame about the face
I had to take her dancing, I couldn't let her down
So we caught the bus to the other side of town
Out upon the dance floor, I wasn't getting far
So I had a drink with my friends up at the bar
I asked them what they thought of her they fell about the place
And they said nice legs shame about her face
She said could we go bowling,
I said that would be fine
But when I bought the tickets
She'd already changed her mind
She was turning out to be a real hard case
Nice legs shame about the boat race
Downed a gin and soda, tapped me on the shoulder
Whispered in my ear it's getting kind of late
When I took her home we hardly said a thing
I walked her to the door, expected to go in
She looked me up and down and really put me in my place
She said nice legs shame about your face
I hate you
Oh how I try-y to hate you
I get bitter
Every time you run through my mi-ind
Betwee-een love and hate
There's a little-le thin li-ine
And I'm try-ying to hate you
Right out of my mi-ind
Oh I hate you-ou
Each time I cry-y I hate you
Little drops of anger
Fa-all from my eye-eyes
You sai-aid that you love me
Tell me how could this fool be so bli-ind
And I'm try-ying to hate you
Right out of my mi-ind
Oh ain't it funny
How a hear-ear-eart
That loved you one time
Could be filled with so much anger
For you-ou and your kind
I hate you
Oh, how I try-y to hate you
I get bitter
Every time you run through my mi-ind
Betwee-een love and hate
There's a little-le thin li-ine
And I'm try-ying to hate you
Right out of my mi-ind (oh-oh-oh)
I'm try-yin' to hate you
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
Love came tumblin' down.
Whoa whoa whoa
I'm not so glad I found
Someone to love me.
When you left you took my love
But I guess I'll never learn
In your arms I must return.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
I wanted you before.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
I didn't know what was in store.
Your love came tumblin' down.
Within the memories the cold backroom
That shelters us from dying
I've got a bluebird singing freedom
Got a gun to guard the rations
Every truckload fights the hellfire, feeds the wrong side
No solution, ice cold weather, it's a weapon
Guide the last men free opinions
At the sacrifice of children
In their temples peaceful worships
The hatred feeds the tension
Every truckload fights the hellfire, feeds the wrong side
No solution, ice cold weather, it's a weapon

Even with his archer's bows at our backs
What a great escape
But theres a long way still in fact
We're lost in a jungle underneath these clouds
There's a monsoon that never ends
A coke white tiger woke us from our slumber
To guide & protect us til the end
We're in the clouds
Wave em high now to the sky
But you're beautiful to me
Keep em high ya'll show you right
But you're beautiful to me
