motherfucker

An insult or an explitive, addressing somebody who sleeps (ie. has sex with) one's mother. Often used to describe someone that you hate, but it's also used among close friends as a term of affection.

Still, in a way, a father, stepfather, or stepmother is a motherfucker; who else would be fucking one's mother?
Son: "'Sup, motherfucker?"

Father: "I'm your father! Don't talk to me like that!"

Son: "I meant literally. How else do you think I got here?"

Cosette

A character in Victor Hugo's Les Misérables. Cosette is the illigitimate daughter of Fantine, who had to leave her in the care of the Thénardier family while she worked to support Cosette. Unknown to the illiterate Fantine, the sociopathically cruel Thénardier family abuse the little girl and make false claims about her health so that Fantine will send more money to them. The money is then used for their own expenses and to spoil their own daughters, Eponine and Azelma, while Cosette is treated as a virtual slave... until Fantine's death, when her former boss, Jean Valjean, comes to rescue Cosette, bribing the ruthless Thénardiers to let her go. From there, Jean Valjean and Cosette escape to Paris.

Nine years later, at age seventeen, Cosette is a beautiful, well-bred young woman and doted on by Papa Valjean. Trouble begins when she runs into Marius Pontmercy, a young nobleman and student, and they fall in love. Valjean, worried about his discovery by Javert and about his adoptive daughter's safety, tries to thwart the budding love affair until he realizes that she's no longer a little girl and he has to let her go; out of love for her, he saves a wounded Marius from the barricade. She and Marius eventually marry before Valjean dies, leaving his life story to her.
Cosette's character is much stronger in the book and the depth of her romance with Marius a major emotional focus while Eponine is a peripheral character, although no less sad and pitiful.

Cosette is the peripheral character in the musical, almost one-dimensional while Eponine's presence is much stronger and shares the pathos with Fantine.

Pachamama

The mother goddess in the indigenous belief systems of the Andes mountains. Her name literally means "Mother World" and she is associated with the earth and fertility. She has survived the Spanish conquest and she is still revered by communities in the Andes.
Pachamama has the power to cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, but she is generally benevolent to her people.

heterosexual

A person who is attracted to the opposite gender. Heterosexuality is the most common sexual orientation in the world (but by no means "normal". It is simply more common than some variations of human sexuality).

Only tiny minorities are exclusivly heterosexual or exlusively homosexual (somewhere between 2 to 5% each); most are somewhere in between those two extremes.

Slang terms for heterosexuials include straight.
Many (ignorant/prejudiced) heterosexuals like to abuse or try to change sexual minorities, like homosexuals (who love members of the same sex), bisexuals (who love both sexes), pansexuals (who are love anybody; male, female, intersex, whoever), and asexuals (who have no sexual desires whatsoever), and seem to believe that these people can become straight, despite that sexual orientation is pretty much fixed for life.

What causes heterosexuality? People always ask what causes pan-, bi-, a-, and homosexuality, but hardly question heterosexuality.

inbreeding

The breeding of people/ animals/ plants that are closely related to each other (first cousins or even closer), thus keeping the genepool weak and leaving them vulnerable to various health problems, mentally and emotionally as well as physically.
Purebred dogs and royalty are notorious for inbreeding; to keep the line "pure" then they are only allowed to procreate with their "own kind", even when offspring are stupid, sickly, deranged, ugly or any number of things.

Carlos II of Spain was the end result of the Spanish Hapsburgs; his parents were uncle and niece and both were highly inbred. Carlos was deformed, retarded, delicate, and had an extended infancy and premature senility. He was married twice, but he was impotent and sex was beyond his abilities.

Plants can be inbred, too; bananas of today are very different from those of three generations ago and often lack the genetic diversity which would keep them healthy.

buxom

(Of women) Full-figured. Often quite busty and ample-bodied. Also see "real women".
There was a time when voluptuous, buxom ladies were worshipped... but now anorexic women are admired instead.
