pull all the stops

Pipe organs have little plungers called stops which control the volume. When the stops are pushed all the way in, the sound is very quiet. When pulled all the way out, the sound is very loud.

She pulled all the stops and cooked me a delicious candlelit dinner. Then she pulled all the stops and asked me if I thought she looked fat in that dress.

statutory rape

n. the legal concept that someone 18 or older having sex with someone younger than 18 is committing a felony. Members of NAMBLA advocate committing this with young boys, apparently. Even less than 100 years ago, it was common for men to marry teen girls as young as 13. I guess all those men committed statutory rape.

John is 18 and Jane is 17, and John was arrested and put in jail and now is a convicted felon even though Jane married him on her 18th birthday. What a crazy country we live in.
