a horrific crime in which the sexual will of a perpetrator, a rapist, is imposed upon a rape victim, who for whatever reason does not manage to prevent or stop the violation from taking place. While rape disproportionally affects women, it can happen to a person of any sex, orientation, or gender.
In the recent political arena, Republicans have misused the word "rape," describing some rapes as "legitimate", citing that it is "God's will" when a rapist impregnates his victim, and even calling rape "beautiful" when it results in a child being conceived. For the most part, these statements were made to express extreme opposition to abortion rights, and thankfully many a conservative Republican political career was destroyed when their shocking words sent reproductive age women and men running into the arms of Democratic candidates.

2. to call someone the Al Gore of an area or field describes a person who had once experienced a tragic loss or hardship, but then later went on to accomplish great things. Gore's presidential bid in 2000 was considered tragic because he had won the popular vote but lost the electoral college to George W. Bush due to highly suspicious voting irregularities in a state governed by the winner's brother.

a phrase describing the life or living conditions of someone who has lived accustomed to safety and security, usually from an early age, relatively free from most of the hardships and forms of stress that are experienced by a majority of people. A person who has had a cupcake life may start out with built-in advantages, yet struggle to maintain or get ahead when called upon to fend for him/herself.
Kevin complains that he has to work and pay his own bills. It's no surprise that he grew up having a cupcake life in which he was supported by his parents and lived comfortably in the suburbs.
