Fall

From TheBestLinks.com

Fall has several meanings:

• Fall is the more common North American word for the season usually known as autumn in British English.

• A freefall or other downward movement, often followed by a collision with the ground, due to gathering speed by weight. It is the result of dropping something, jumping, or an accident in which a person or object is no longer supported, e.g. something rolls or slides off a table, one loses control over one's legs or bicycle, etc.

• A shortened form of the word waterfall, more typically "falls" than just "fall" (such as "we're hiking up to the falls today"). These often occur around the fall line; in the eastern US, for example, where the Piedmont drops to the coastal plain.

• A fall is the sudden arrival of large numbers of migrating birds on an island or at a coastal headland due to drift migration.

• The Fall is the Christian doctrine of man's rebellion against his creator God, bringing God's condemnation on himself, as described in the story of Adam and Eve.
