constituency

In the language of politicians and those who govern, the constituency are those who are governed, or supposedly represented, by legislators and executive officials.

Legislators really represent attorneys. See politician, legislator, attorney, and conflict of interest for further details.
In a true Democracy, the constituency would be self-governing. However, that might endanger the livelihood of legislators and politicians, so it isn't done that way.

sexual preference

One's preference for a particular type of sexual partner, regardless whether that preference is rigidly or casually held, and regardless how morally repugnant others may find that preference.
heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, and pedosexual are all sexual preferences. Pedosexual propaganda uses pedophile as a euphemism in place of pedosexual to make it seem like it isn't all that bad.

The Ken Jennings Show

1. A game show otherwise known as Jeopardy, particularly since they no longer limit how many times the same contestant can appear on the show.

2. A steady source of income for the Mormon Church since Ken Jennings tithes 10% of his gross.
My wife is watching The Ken Jennings Show. I think she's waiting to see if the church and the state can tax Ken into poverty. Otherwise, there isn't much suspense.

Tuesday

The day of the week when most people live their entire lives.
You can tell when you're in traffic that most of the people in front of you have no destination where they want to arrive before next Tuesday.
