Barbarian and savage are terms used to refer to a person who is perceived to be uncivilized. The word is often used either in a general reference to a member of a nation or ethnos, typically a tribal society as seen by an urban civilization either viewed as inferior, or admired as a noble savage. In idiomatic or figurative usage, a "barbarian" may also be an individual reference to a brutal, cruel, warlike, insensitive person.
The term originates from the Greek civilization, meaning "anyone who is not Greek". In ancient times, Greeks used it for the people of the Persian Empire; in the early modern period and sometimes later, they used it for the Turks, in a clearly pejorative way. Comparable notions are found in non-European civilizations. In the Roman empire, barbarian was meant as "anyone not educated in Roman ways".
The Ancient Greek word βάρβαρος (barbaros), "barbarian", was an antonym for πολίτης (politis) "citizen," from polis "city-state." The sound of barbaros onomatopoetically evokes the image of babbling (a person speaking a non-Greek language). The earliest attested form of the word is the Mycenaean Greek pa-pa-ro, written in Linear B syllabic script.

Plot: In his freshman year of college, Kyle Hanson seems to have everything - he's popular, cool and the hottest girl at school has her sights set on him. But things weren't always this way... As a young boy growing up in the small town of Red Bluff, California, Kyle was constantly lost in the adventures of his own imagination. Joined by his friends Billy, Josh and Slosberg, they were dorks that escaped the cruel world of bullies and school work by pretending to be larger than life heroes, playing out their adventures in Kyle's own backyard. But as all young men eventually discover, his life changes when he meets the love of his life and girl next door; Katie. As he befriends her and his boyhood crush becomes his first love, Katie becomes the most popular girl in school, while Kyle remains one of the school nerds who plays Dungeons and Dragons in his friend's basement. Separated by their school status, but still close friends, Kyle puts himself on the line and asks Katie to prom, only to be turned down and heartbroken. A year later, determined to never let his dorkiness keep him from getting the girl again, Kyle has reinvented himself and the only step left to complete is to become a brother of the most prestigious fraternity on campus: Alpha Gamma Kai. But Kyle's toughest challenge is yet to come when he has to escort Lance, the fraternity's President, back to their shared home town of Red Bluff. With only a week left until his initiation, Kyle tries to hide himself from his dorky past and just make it through spring break until he can officially join the brotherhood of Alpha Gamma Kai. What he never counted on was the chance to finally get Katie, the girl of his dreams, through the very life he disavowed only a year ago. Kyle now faces a choice of whether to stay true to his brotherhood or to return to the life he once knew... a return to roleplaying...
