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.

scraping

1. A black hat SEO spam technique in which the spammer plagiarizes content from other web sites to put content that's popular with search engines on his own site, often for the purpose of selling advertising back to the ijit search engines. Also used as a Google bowling technique to get competing web sites labeled as SEO spam.

2. Fighting.

3. Beating up someone.

4. Living in poverty.
1. Google eventually wises up to each new SEO spamming technique, so scraping will eventually get you banned.

2. Evrabody be Kung Fu Scraping! (Sung just as badly as it's worded.)

3. When I get done scraping him, his mama will have to finish scraping him off the floor.
