Tha na Gàidhlean gu bhith air falbh. Tha sinn 'nar beagchuid 'nar dùthaich fhèin. O, mallaich na Sasannaich air dèanamh seo thugainn! Mallaich na Frangaich air dèanamh seo gu na Ceiltich na Breatainn Bheag!
Tha 'n teine nam Ceilteach 'marbhadh, mar sin nan t-Sìthiche...
(The Gaels are almost gone. We are minorities in our own countries. O, curse the English for doing this to us! Curse the French for doing this to the Celts of Brittany!
The fire of the Celts is dying, like that of the Elves...)

Get the Gael mug.A layperson's term for somebody with antisocial personality disorder: somebody who lacks a conscience. This is somebody who knows right from wrong, but doesn't care because he/she does not think in those terms; they care about their own benefit, regardless of who is in the way.
The sociopath is very often thought of as a serial killer, but that represents only a small portion of them; sociopaths can be anybody.
Sociopaths come in these basic types:
Common: A simple lack of conscience and lack of proper integration into society, they're feral children grown up.
Alienated: Alienated from other people, they have trouble empathizing with others.
Aggressive: Comes with a consistent sadistic streak.
Dissocial: Abides by gang rules and morals that antagonize mainstream society.
The sociopath generally holds at least three of the following seven traits:
1. Failure to conform to social norms, including behavior that warrants arrest.
2. Deception; they're glib, pathological liars, and manipulators, often use false names.
3. Impulsive behavior; failure to plan ahead.
4. Irritable and aggressive, frequent fights or attacks.
5. Reckless disregard for the safety of self or others.
6. Consistently irresponsible; their work behavior is often inconsistent, they can be catastrophic parents.
7. Without remorse; will justify stealing or hurting others ("if you hadn't dressed like that, I wouldn't have raped you").

Unlike psychopaths, who are have fearlessly reckless temperaments, don't feel stress, and are nearly impossible to socialize, sociopaths are generally made and have relatively normal temperaments and are more easily agitated. Most sociopaths are the result of overburdened, inadequate parents and the wrong set of peers and an unstable environment, but can be properly socialized in better settings with stable, competent parents and adequately adjusted peers. The psychopath is found in every social class while the sociopath is generally from poor neighborhoods. The psychopath feels nothing for others but will care for others if it suits their purpose while the sociopath can feel empathy and remorse in specific contexts; the psychopath's crimes tend to be meticulous while the sociopath's crimes tend to be sloppy and erratic; the psychopath can escape undetected for years while the sociopath is more easily discovered.

Get the fanny mug.1) A humanoid creature with magical powers and sometimes butterfly wings. Fairies (or "faeries" if you prefer) can be any size from the size of a seed to human size.

2) A usually derogatory term for a gay male, especially one who is flamboyant and acts more "feminine" than a woman (as if there were something wrong with being feminine). A heterosexual man who acts in a feminine manner is also sometimes called a "fairy".

Get the poet mug.An insulting term for a sexually loose woman, derived from the old English word hora (from the Indo-European root ka; meaning "to like, desire"), so "whore" could be translated as "pleasurer".
Also another word for a prostitute (strangely, while "whore" is considered a pejorative word in the English-speaking world, in Germany the organizations of prostitutes use the word Hure (whore) on purpose since they feel that prostitute is an unnecessary euphemism for something that doesn't need any euphemisms.)
