Hungtableed: Armageddon originally meant the Final Battle; however, now it's used as a general statement for the end of the world.

Incorrect, and subsequent failure.

Armageddon is the name of a fucking PLACE, taken from the name Meggido. It is the grounds where the final battle between good and evil will be fought.

I would love to know what dictionary you find it defined as the end of the world. Are you thinking of the Apocalypse? Maybe Ragnarok? If you're going to bash religion, maybe know a little about it?

Ar·ma·ged·don /ˌɑrməˈgɛdn/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[ahr-muh-ged-n] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun
1. the place where the final battle will be fought between the forces of good and evil (probably so called in reference to the battlefield of Megiddo. Rev. 16:16).
2. the last and completely destructive battle: The arms race can lead to Armageddon.
3. any great and crucial conflict.

Blah, whatever, Apocalypse would have been a better choice of words. I used it in that context because I thought it was a generally accepted term for the "end of the world;" albeit its religious origins. Shoot me.
