sprite

1) A delectable lemon-lime beverage best served cold and fizzy, and possibly with lemonade or alcohol, or both. It has possibly the shortest half-life of any soda, as it goes flat within minutes. 2) The name of a song produced by the techno band freezepop. 3) A nigh-archaic medium of digital imagery composed of pixels, with a notable feature of pixels visible to the naked human eye, now only used in games on the Game Boy Advance. A very popular medium for webcomic authors not confident in their ability to draw. Two highly popular examples are Bob and George and 8-Bit Theatre (bobandgeorge.com and nuklearpower.com, respectively). Used in context as a verb, it is used to mean both customizing/altering an existing sprite to meet story needs in a webcomic and creating a new sprite image. 4) A small faerie that glows brightly. Usually female with 6 transparent wings. Should have no special powers.
