The definitions in our universe of origin are as follows:

Movie - A recording of moving images that tells a story.

TV series - Same as a movie, though the story is broken into smaller episodes.

Comic book - A publication that consists of illustrations in the form of sequential juxtaposed panels that represent individual scenes.

Hot Topic - Uncertain. Primary known definition is a popular topic of discussion, though there may be others.

Goth - A Human subculture. Also a genre of music and a style of architecture.

Season - A portion of the year characterized by a specific temperature range and weather patterns.

Scurvy - A Human disease resulting from lack of vitamin C.

Dude - A Human slang term. We do not have sufficient data to define it further.

human is ?

not sure what it refers to

many kinds of people here

[ There are many different types of people, and they're not sure which ones count as humans or not...please help them out, Legion. ]

[forwearemany]

Humans are the most common species residing on this island.

They are endoskeletal vertebrate bipeds with skintones ranging from pink to brown. Differences from other, similar species include: round ears and five fingers on each hand.

(That's ... not the most helpful definition. Legion is, at least, willing to define any and all new words they introduced to the Knight.)

[lightlessfuture]

endoskeletal/vertebrate/biped

new words

can explain ?

( Good thing, too, since the most defining parts of that explanation are largely lost on them. Thankfully, they know what skin and ears and fingers and hands are, so they don't have to ask there.

Don't ask what their mental picture is right now, though. It's weird. )

[forwearemany]

Yes.

Endoskeletal: A quality of a being referring to the support structures. Unlike in bugs, who possess an external shell, an endoskeletal creature possesses an internal support structure.

Vertebrate: A creature possessing a central column of nerves known as a "spine".

Biped: A creature which walks upon two legs.

(Perhaps an example would help. They are aware the Knight is familiar with individuals matching all definitions.)

Example: Grimm is bipedal. We are bipedal and endoskeletal (in addition to possessing an external shell) though we are not a vertebrate. The Drifter is bipedal, endoskeletal, and a vertebrate, but they are not Human. Connor is Human.
