Get the Fucking Retardmug. Newspeak for torture, used by the CIA and its allies. "Stress and duress" tactics are used in interrogations, and refer to a variety of tortures and forms of mistreatment which the CIA thinks are OK. These include:
sleep deprivation
overload of light
complete darkness
stripping and sexually humiliating prisoners
threatening to torture and rape prisoners
threatening prisoners' families
making prisoners stand, sit etc. in uncomfortable positions to induce pain
denial of satisfaction of basic rights and needs such as food, bedding, clothing and exercise
deliberate cultural insensitivity and intolerance
verbal abuse
use of painful "restraint" techniques
beatings

These techniques are widespread also in US prisons, although nominally illegal. They are more widely used in deregulated offshore gulags such as Guantanamo Bay, abu Ghraib in Iraq and Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan.
Don't be fooled - these tactics ARE TORTURE, and are defined as such both by the UN and by experts in trauma. Their role is to break down the sense of personality of the prisoner and to deliberately induce psychological trauma and crisis.
They are directly referred to in CIA handbooks - so the photos from abu Ghraib show a systematic pattern of torture, NOT rogue acts by a few stupid/evil/misguided soldiers.

Get the stress and duressmug. Drummer from the band Rush. Known for his innovative use of unusual time signatures, steely countenance, extremely intelligent lyrics, and overall awesomeness. He is the greatest living drummer.
Neil Peart freakin rocks, I'm glad that first drummer left Rush so that, along with Mr. Peart, they could become one of the greatest bands that ever existed.

Get the frothylipsmug. Realm in northern Magnamund, in the Lone Wolf series. Inhabited by the Sommlending. Capital Holmgard; other major features include the Kai Monastery, the centrepiece of the Order of the Kai; Toran, home of the wizards of the Crystal Star; several other cities such as Tyso and Anskavern. It's a monarchy, apparently modelled on feudal Europe but with a noble king and a jedi-like order of protectors. Has the unfortunate privilege of being first in line whenever the darklords come over the mountains, cos the Darklands are just to the west. It sounds like the name might be old English for "land of the sun" but I might be wrong.
