United Gamins Society
Be afraid... Be very afraid... Or at least annoyed. Or sympathetic? At least say that they're cute...
Welcome to the United Gamins Society, aka U.G.S.! Here gamins from around the universe gather just for the fun of it. Playing all day, singing songs, and enjoying themselves, this is the home for those who define themselves as gamin.
And what is a gamin, anyway? The entry for Dictionary.com states:
gam·in (GAH-mihn)
(n). An often homeless boy who roams about the streets; an urchin.
[French.]

gamin Gam"in, (n). [F.] A neglected and untrained city boy; a young street Arab.
In Japan, the gamins run after you, and say, 'Look at the Chinaman.' --L. Oliphant.

gamin (n) : a homeless child who has been abandoned and roams the streets
[syn: street arab, throwaway]

But as you can see, a gamin is much more than that. Quick-witted and sharp-tongued, these little ones are everyone. And one must not be homeless! Also, a standard gamin is usually is under the age of thirteen. Cute and adorable, they retain the innocence of youth.
UGS is always growing! If you're a gamin searching for others of your kind, don't hesitate to drop by! Whether you've just a suggestion, or all the credentials (a pic and a description), all prospects are most welcome.
