Act
noun: the Air Cock Thrust, a dance move pioneered by the underground hip-hop group, then stolen and twisted by teenage boys to be used in dance parties where they dissaprove of the music choice. to perform one as intended is quite a feat of athleticism, but many achieve similar effects by jumping from a high point and thrusting in the air. often accompanied by the yelling of "A! C! T!" while in the air, and occasionally by hand symbold upon completion.

Act is short for ACTually. It is only used in the indirect questionative form, meaning it is only used to question something someone says but not really looking for an answer.

Person A: Yo that fly hunnies diggin` yo phat ride!
You: ACT?

Just like saying "Really?".

ACT
ACT is an acronym standing for Action Counters Terror. It is believed that it originated either with the military or the emergency services, where personnel are trained to overcome fear and inertia by taking action until this becomes an automatic response. ACT demonstrates that people are capable of really remarkable deeds and that obstacles and difficulties can be beaten when they are confronted. ACT shows that fears and self-doubt can be reduced or eliminated and that forward-looking action can overcome habit and inertia to produce something new and start the process of change.

Acting
To perform and portray a character from a true or fictional story intended to entertain a wider audience. This can be dramatic or comedic via any medium including radio, television, theatre, film and street theatre.

Most actors have varying comprehension of what "acting" is and approach the craft depending on their training and experience in performance and life.

For some, acting is life, acting is entertainment, acting is escaping your own personality, acting is a chance to extend yourself in a way that virtually has no limits because you never judge the character in which you play, but research and delve deeply into their world all while naturally bringing your own flavour to the final product.

Acting is not a look darling, it's a skill. Don't audition for me until you get some fucking training.

ACT
An acronym standing for Action Conquers Terror. It is unclear whether this was originally a military acronym, where personnel are trained to overcome fear by action until this becomes automatic. It does, however, highlight that people are capable of far more than they realise, and that fears can be beaten when they are confronted. Action show fears and self-doubt as merely a question of attitude; forward-looking action overcomes habit and inertia to produce something new and is the simplest way to start the process of change.

Don't just sit there worrying about it, do something! ACT!
