A (traditionally) masculine man or woman, and especially a masculine lesbian. Often the "dominant" partner in a lesbian relationship, and especially of a butch/femme lesbian relationship.
Dressing masculinely does not make a woman into a lesbian, contrary to popular belief; it's usually more convenient.
Acting masculinely only means that's the gender role that the person identifies with; it has nothing to do with their sexual life. A highly masculine man could be gay for all we know and a very feminine man could be straight for all we know, and both of these cases are frequent.

Long, frilly dresses? Hair swept into a bun? Makeup? Silks and satins? Sweet, shy disposition? Definitely a femme.
Short hair? Denim? Leather jacket? Nose piercings? Motorcycles? Suits and ties? Loud and aggressive? How could that be more butch?

A farm worker, usually poor. The most common type of person in a pre-industrial society (usually 66 to 95%), and of the lowest class.
Peasants were/are typically small farmers, tenant farmers, sharecroppers, farmhands, and laborers and invariably rural, living in villages and tending land which is practically theirs but officially belongs to the wealthy.
Usually an insult for dirty, uncouth, unsophisticated people of low status.
Peasants stereotypically have virtually no education, nonexistent hygiene, are conservative, and have almost no rights, despite that their work requires careful planning and that they are not averse to protests.

The peasant woman, her three daughters, and her husband's many kinswomen tended the garden and the livestock while their menfolk toiled in the fields. They had little option but either work until their backs gave out or starve, plus they had to pay heavy taxes for the rich.

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.

An ancient continent that Plato said had disappeared beneath the waves 9,000 years before his time (and at least 10,000 or 11,000 years before our time)... the beautiful land, synonmous with Eden, was a place where all lived in peace and harmony.
Often discarded as myth, Atlantis is all over, as the people fled the demise of their home and took their customs with them.
There is a great deal of evidence that Atlantis existed in the area of Indonesia (remember, the Americas were not known of until Columbus, so the Greeks concidered the whole ocean stretching from the coast of Europe to the coast of Asia to be the Atlantic Ocean.)

Antarctica has been thought to be Atlantis, but it's been frozen over for at least five million years, so the chance of Atlantis being in Antarctica is pretty slim.

-"What a cute doggie! Boy or girl?"
-"She's a bitch."
"Kyle's mom 's a bitch, she's a big fat bitch,
she's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world,
She's a stupid bitch, if there ever was a bitch,
She's a bitch to all the boys and girls!" -Eric Cartman from South Park
The lyrics can be applied to any body that we hate!
"Ann Coulter's a bitch, she's a lyin’ bitch,
She's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world,
She's a stupid bitch, if there ever was a bitch,
She's a bitch to all the Liberals!"
I'll stop bitching about that nasty bitch right now.
Peppermint Patty is the butch; Marcie is the bitch/femme in their relationship.

"Naomi wanted her sister Nikki married off right away because she saw Nikki looking at her husband? Can't she see that Nikki looks at any man like that?! She's a cur-bitch in heat!"
"Will you stop bitching about how you didn't get that iPod?! It's a music-player; it's a thing!"
"I've wanted so long to be your bitch!"

An overly-used word. The significance and power of this word seems to be forgotten, and it seems to be an excuse to get into someone's panties or a way to describe something that you really like.
Still, love is a force to be reckoned with, for better or worse. Love is an incredibly strong feeling of warmth and tenderness for somebody, a taking of delight in their company. You know that you love somebody when you want the best for them.
And love has no boundaries, however clichéd it is; people love their pets, their friends, their parents, their families, their children, their sweethearts/spouses, whoever they are close to.
And couples consisting of two men or two women happen often. Men can love other men and women can love other women.
