Lorelili's definitions
A tragic waste. She who thinks that she can sing act and dance while being unaware that she sucks big-time (at the three previous things, and on other certain things). She who dresses like a streetwalker, is a complete idiot, is a total hypocrite, has unnatural, silicone-filled breasts, bleached hair, has a fake body/personality/voice and sends out a bad message to children.
This repulsive beast apparently never took a singing lesson in her life and enjoys(enjoyed) drinking underage; doing drugs, smoking, and getting body piercings, breast implants, and tattoos when she said previously that she hated them; squawking like a cat on catnip to some inane, bland, badly-written song; sleeping around with any man that looks attractive to her (and putting down any man who she deems unattractive); and doing anything (from abuse of her fans, among others, to cancelling concerts or stripping at them, to becoming a homewrecker) for attention.
This creature also responds to whore, slut, bitch, tramp, harlot, cunt, the list goes on.

Get the britney spearsmug. 1. A character from "Les Miserables" by Victor Hugo. The year is 1823, in Montreuil-sur-Mer, France. Fantine is a young, unmarried mother who works in a factory owned and run by the reformed Jean Valjean, the protagonist of the story. Fantine's daughter, Cosette, is the result of a boyfriend who used and deserted Fantine; the young Cosette lives with the thieving Thenardier family who (unknown to the illiterate Fantine) abuse Cosette and make false claims about Cosette's health so that Fantine can give them money (which they take for themselves).
Upon finding out that Fantine has a child out of wedlock, the other women (who are jealous of Fantine's beauty) urge the foreman (who has unsuccessfully tried to bed Fantine) to fire her. Desperate for Cosette and frustrated by her unjust dismissal, Fantine sells what she can for money, including her golden hair and her pearl-white eye-teeth. Ultimately, she becomes a prostitute to support Cosette and eventually dies of tuberculosis... but not before Valjean comes to her aid and promises to take care of Cosette.
2. By extension, any single mother of young children who has fallen on hard times and, out of desperation and love for her little ones, is willing to do almost anything to give her children a chance at a better life.

"I had a dream that life would be
So different from this Hell I'm living!
So different now from what it seemed-!
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed...!"
-Fantine, "I Dreamed a Dream"
Sarah's husband left her and now she has four children to raise by herself. She's even trying work as a stripper as well as a nurse. She's such a Fantine if she's willing to do that!

Get the Fantinemug. A formal title for a woman of high social status. Also used as an affectionate term by a man/woman for his/her girlfriend or wife.
Still, the English language prefers to use the borrowed French "Madame" rather than the native English "My Lady" in address.

1. "Oh Knights of Ni, you are just and fair!"
2. "You did fairly on the test. Try to study next time."

"Fair hair" usually signifies blonde hair. Still, used loosely, it can mean all shades of blond, a few lighter shades of red hair, and light brown hair.
4. "A rose shall bloom,/And then shall fade./So does the youth,/So does the fairest maid."

Get the fairmug. A fast-moving cloud of superheated volcanic gasses, ash, and rock that hug the ground and even the surface of the sea as they rush at speeds of up to 450 mph, destroying anything in their paths.
Pyroclastic flows are usually the result of centuries of pent-up stress within the volcano; thick, sticky magma plugs the vent of the volcano and thus builds greater and greater pressure until it explodes.
Usually the flow is denser than the surrounding air and instead of flowing vertically, they rush along the ground, sweeping over hills and ridges like the said hills and ridges don't even exist.
Pyroclastic flows can reach temperatures as high as 1830 degrees F, and the average temperature is about half that; hot enough to boil the blood in one's body and effectively flash-cook you alive. Some victims are charred while others get fatal steam burns.
In short, a far more forceful and dangerous force than lava and more difficult to escape, due to their speed and intense heat.

Pompeii and Herculaneum were destroyed in 79 CE when Mount Vesuvius exploded, sending a pyroclastic flow barreling toward both towns, searing the lungs and burning the flesh of anybody who would not or could not flee.
May 8, 1902, about 30,000 people were killed in St. Pierre, Martinique, when Mt. Pelee sent a pyroclastic flow over the city.
Mount St. Helens famously erupted with a pyroclastic flow turning the surrounding forest into a lunar landscape.
The fringes of the pyroclastic flow do not always cut a clear line between life and death; survivors at the fringes often endure hideous burns.

Get the pyroclastic flowmug. (1929-1990) One of the most disturbing murderers in Indiana history (and indeed history in general), a demon disguised as a mother. A three times divorced borderline personality and sociopath who lead her seven children and several neighborhood children in the appalling two-month torture in 1965 of two sisters who she was boarding, Silvia and Jenny Likens (ages 16 and 15) and eventually murdered Silvia.
The stronger of the pair, Silvia took the brunt of Gertrude's fury; she called Silvia filthy (Gertrude's own house was a virmin-ridden hellhole), called her a whore (Gertrude had fucked another man during one of her three marriages (resulting in a child) and her own teenage daughter was a slut who was pregnant by a married man) and subjected the girls (and Silvia in particular) to physical, verbal, and sexual tortures that are nightmares to even conceive of.
Neighbors had noticed the battered state of the Likens girls, but they did not report Gertrude.
Gertrude tried to pin the crimes on her children and the neighborhood children when Silvia's hideously mangled body was found.
In other words, a demon bitch and a good reason for parents to do extensive background checks on caregivers before entrusting their loved ones to them.

Gertrude Baniszewski was sentenced to life in prison in 1966, but was paroled in 1985 for "good behavior", despite the outrage of the Likens family and the public at large. She died under a false name in 1990; it marks a huge injustice for two innocent young women who were martyrs to a needless crime.
Her eldest daughter and the rest of her children and the other children involved were also sentenced, but their punishments seem more like a slap on the wrist.
She could be compared to Lori Drew for Drew's cyberbullying of Megan Meier (leading the girl to suicide) for some perceived slight toward her own daughter.

Get the Gertrude Baniszewskimug. In music, this refers to the best-sounding and most comfortable range for a singer (or an instrument), to the color and quality of the voice.
A singer's tessitura depends on where their voice sounds the strongest (and most comfortable);
Sopranos and tenors sound the strongest and most at ease in their high notes but weaker in their low notes;
Mezzo-sopranos and baritones sound weaker and less comfortable in their high notes but strongest and most comfortable in mid-range and strong in their low notes;
Contraltos and basses sound the strongest and most comfortable in their low notes and weaker in their high notes.

Contraltos and basses sound the strongest and most comfortable in their low notes and weaker in their high notes.
Tessitura is a good determiner of voice type; range alone does not tell where a voice sounds its best and vocal color on its own does not determine either of those.
Sopranos and tenors generally sound bright, contraltos and basses generally sound dark, and mezzo-sopranos and baritones are of medium color. But a singer can sound as bright and sunny as a soprano and have a contralto tessitura or another can sound like a baritone yet have the tessitura of a tenor.
Sarah Brightman has a bright, lightweight voice and the tessitura of a soprano.
Allison Crowe has a heavy, rather dark voice and the tessitura of a soprano.
Idina Menzel's voice is lightweight, has a bright color and the tessitura of a mezzo-soprano.
Annie Lennox has a dark, heavy voice and a contralto tessitura.
