A pejorative term for a sexually active woman, derived from the old English word hōra (from the Indo-European root kā; meaning "to like, desire").
Also another word for a prostitute (strangely, "whore" is considered insulting in the English-speaking world, whereas in Germany, the prostitutes' organizations use the word Hure (whore) on purpose since they feel that prostitute is an unnecessary euphemism for something that doesn't need euphemisms.)

Get the whore mug.Your lover, significant other, darling, or what ever pet name that you have for your sweetie.
A beloved person, be they family member, friend, or lover/life partner.
Somebody who is very dear, sweet, and kind.

Why should we be branded with a label because of our sexuality? We're lovers, sweethearts. "Sweethearts" was what we used among ourselves before "lesbian", "homosexuality", "queer", and "gay" really entered the picture. We didn't name it, we did it.
"Cara mia"- "my darling"
"Mon cher"- " "
"A ghaoil"- "O love"
"A rúin"- " "
"A leannain"- "Sweetheart"
"Mo ghràdh"- "My love"
"Cariad"- "Beloved"
Etc etc.

Get the sweetheart mug.An undergarment, first coming to view in the Rennaissance, that women have worn to mangle their natural body into the shape of an hourglass: corsets pinched the waist in, pushed the breasts up, and rearranged the spine and abdominal organs.
The corset used to be made of whalebone for support, but it now comes in a variety of fabrics.
Women have had many health problems and have died from the restrictive, impractical corset; many homes in the Victorian era had fainting rooms for women who had been laced up too tightly.
Nowadays, the corset is popular among the gothic crowd and has become a symbol of erotica.

-"Do I have to wear this corset? I can hardly breathe."
-"This is a period film; yes, you have to wear the corset."
-"This thing hurts like hell! Are you crazy?"

Get the corset mug.A Rush Limbaugh wannabe. A highly conservative bitch who dresses like a hooker, and writes about her view that all liberals are evil (there's bad liberals, sure, but there's a slew of bad conservatives, too), and bashes the likes of Bill Clinton and other liberals... and she supports her fellow anti-Equal Rights crusader, Phyllis Schlafly. Both of these women need some major counseling... and a good whack in the face.
Anita Bryant- bad
Ann Coulter- evil
Bill O' Reilly- evil
Condolezza Rice- bad
George W. Bush- evil
Mel Gibson- bad

Get the ann coulter mug.Something that is very common on the internet: a way to offend somebody, by angering or hurting them.
The insult "fuck you!" is odd, since fucking is a pleasurable activity. "Rape you" would make more sense. And "damn you", despite that it is considered milder, is actually worse since it is somebody's condemning that you are wishing.
"Whore" and "slut" merely refer to people who sleep around frequently, which is not a bad thing in itself, provided that it is consensual and protected. "Wart", "pimple", and the like, would make better insults since they are truly unwanted things.

"Taigh na Galla ort!" Scottish Gaelic, literally meaning "House of the Bitch on you!" which equates to "Damn/fuck you!"
Seriously, the insult world in English is weird; "fuck you!" when fucking is a pleasurable act.
"Go mbeadh cosa gloine fút agus go mbrise an ghloine" Irish Gaelic, meaning "May you have glass legs and may the glass break"
"Tuiteam gun èirigh ort." ("May you fall without rising.")
"'S e as a' bhaile nam guirean a tha thu!" ("It's from the town of the pustules that you are!")
"'S e mìr na caca a th'annad!" ("It's a piece of shit that you are!")
"George Bush!"
"Dick Cheney!"
"Pat Robertson!"
"Michael Savage!"
"Fred Phelps!"
"Westborough Baptist Church!"
"Rush Limbaugh!"
"Anita Bryant!"
"Jerry Falwell!"
"Ann Coulter!"
"Pauline Hanson!"
"Sean Hannity!"
"Jesse Helms!"
"Robert Mugabe!"
"Moral Majority!"
"Buju Banton!"
"Conservative!"
"Sizzla!"
"Hoku!"
They make more sense; when really thought about, most English insults (or at least their order from lightest to most offensive) don't seem to make much sense.

Get the insult mug.It didn't matter if a prince or princess was ugly or sickly or the village idiot; as long as they were of royal blood, uncontaminated with that of commoners, that was all that mattered.
Carlos II of Spain is a case point for that problem; in delicate health, retarded, impotent, and terribly ugly, Carlos was the end result of generations of inbreeding among the Spanish Habsburgs.
She was a sickly little girl; her nose was always running and she coughed a lot.

Get the sickly mug.Some feminists trying to find a word to replace the sexist words "he" and "she" have put together "he or she, it" and condensed it into this little word: "h'orsh'it". This is likely not what they had in mind.
