Lorelili's definitions
Gifted with the ability to speak articulately and even charmingly on the spur of the moment, but there is a lack of accuracy or understanding. Slippery or slick in speech, cunningly persuasive.
He was a charming man, but there was a glib quality to the way that he spoke; something just did not seem genuine about him.

Get the glib mug.Originally meant joyful, vibrant, and full of life.
Now it's used by ignorant (and often prejudiced) people to describe something that they don't like. It's especially common among teenage boys, who use it to look cool or to "hide" their insecurity about gay people.
Gay is now slang for a homosexual person, that is, somebody who is attracted romantically and sexually to people of their own sex.
Gay men are known as gays, while gay women are known as lesbians. And some bisexuals also identify as gay.
Up to 1 in every 10 adults is predominantly gay; everybody is somewhere in between the two extremes of heterosexual and homosexual.
Gay is sometimes, but not always:
-Living with AIDS.
-Living a promiscuous life.
-Acting very much like the opposite gender (very masculine women and very feminine men.)(When people think of these stereotypes, they're usually thinking about transsexual people or transgender people instead. Most of these people are straight and just happen to identify as the opposite gender.)
-All about sex.
Gays are perfectly normal people. Their only "difference" is that they (romantically) love somebody of their own sex. Aside from the cruel prejudice that they face because of who they love, they usually are able to live wonderfully full, happy lives.
Often, gays have reclamed old derogatory terms for them as terms of affection: fag and queen for the men, dyke for the women, etc... although they can still be used as insults by the bigoted.
Gays sometimes do imitate heterosexual gender roles (butch and femme) in their marriages (in every other way if not legal), but most do not; plenty of femmes pair up with other femmes, butches with other butches, androgynous and so forth. It's often remarkable how much their unions resemble heterosexual unions.
A man can be highly flamboyant and act and dress quite feminine, but sleeping with men is the last thing on this mind. Likewise, a man can be incredibly butch and swaggering, and yet he likes to sleep with men; being gay has to do with who you are attracted to sexually, not how masculine or how feminine you are.
Gay is not all about sex. Most gays are happy doing other things than sex. And most gays loathe the idea of molesting a child, contrary to the beliefs of ignorant people. (Almost all pedophiles are heterosexual)
And with marriage ending in so many divorces, then those in favor of marriage should be happy that there are people who want to get married and are willing to fight for that right. Gays have had to fight so much for the basic rights that straights take for granted.

-"Those flowers are so lovely in here! So bright and gay! Don't you think so?"
-"Yes! Quite nice to look at!"
Aw man, this computer is being gay! It won't let me print!
-"Scott... I have to tell you something very important...
-"What is it, Colin?"
-"I- I'm gay."
-"That makes two of us."
-"You are?!... Then are you comfortable knowing...?"
-"Knowing what?"
-"That I love you..."
-..."C'mere!"
-"Yes! Quite nice to look at!"

Get the gay mug.(1521-1542) The fifth wife of Henry VIII and first-cousin of Anne Boleyn. Katherine "Kitty" Howard was just 18 when she arrived at court. A diminutive, pretty redhead with a great joie de vivre but little formal education, Kitty was the daughter of impoverished nobles. Motherless by age 10, Kitty lived in dormitories at her step-grandmother's mansion with her numerous cousins and other noble wards. Largely neglected in a huge family, Kitty was seduced by her music teacher at age 15 and soon became romantically involved with courtier Francis Dereham, even promised to marry him. Always eager to please, she agreed to go to Henry's court as a lady-in-waiting for Anne of Cleves.
Henry was instantly smitten with her, although he was nearly fifty and obese, three times her size. Seeing a chance to seize power, the powerful Howard clan nudged Kitty into marrying Henry, who was assured of her chastity. Although accommodating, Kitty was disappointed by her old, fat husband and soon found herself enchanted by a young favorite of Henry, bad boy Thomas Culpeper.
Betrayed by a spiteful friend, Kitty's cover was blown; Henry had Dereham and Culpeper killed and Kitty's family imprisoned. Initially terrified, Kitty resigned herself to her fate and even had the chopping block brought to her before execution so that she could practice.

Anne of Cleves, already familiar with Katherine Howard as a maidservant, maintained their friendship. Kitty had also grown attached to her stepdaughter, Elizabeth I, although Mary Tudor resented her "stepmother", who was five years younger than her.
Katherine Howard, the least educated of Henry's wives and thoroughly spoiled by him, was not the woman for the office of queen. Still, Katherine's ambitious, heavily Catholic family knew that the teenager was reckless and too naive to handle the ruthless intrigue of the court, but they cared more for Henry's favor than about her safety; she was just another mouth to feed. In her hour of need, Kitty's family abandoned her to fend for herself.
In the end, Henry refused to be made to look like a fool and even thought of killing Katherine himself.

Get the Katherine Howard 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.

Get the h'orsh'it mug.A neurological disease that causes uncontrollable tics, grunts, and repititions of certain activities. Sufferers of Tourette's Syndrome are thought (mistakenly, in most cases) to swear uncontrollably. While it is true that some sufferers of tourette's have coprolalia (the sudden, uncontrollable outburst of inappropriate language) this is only a minority of cases (estimates range from 10% to 20%).
Still, the tics, facial twitches, grunts and other noises/actions are a troublesome thing and many tourettes are mocked and shamed.

"I amam- I AM SPANK THE MONKEY 17 years old and CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT CRAP CRAP SHIT have Tourette Syndrome. (pop) I do not find your FUCKING article (jaw flex) funny or amusing in any way, and I would like it GEORGE DUBYA BUSH MOTHERFUCKING BASTARD DIPSHIT DUMBASS (crack) removed or changed as soon as SPEARCHUCKER possible.
Let me tell your DICKHEAD about TITTYLICKING BITCH Tourette Syndrome:
* Less than 20% of BULLSHIT Tourettes sufferers swear. You can COON blame television, blame TV, for always HORSEFUCKER focusing on the JESUS DONKEY-FUCKING CHRIST bad side of a terrible thing.
* The main symptom of ANN COULTER CUNT BITCH SLUT Tourettes are involuntary m-MOTHERFUCKER-muscle spasms, or JAP "tics" which can range from (whap) head nods, to a small knee SHIT jerk.
* Tourettes is no ARSE-FUCKING BASTARD (cracks knuckles 11 times) laughing matter, it causes children FUCKERS to be bullied at SPIC school for something they cannot control, and it has even caused teenage sufferers to become NIGGER-BAIT manically depressed and commit suicide.
* There is no BOLLOCKS cure, and the DONKEY-PUNCH drugs that are available to "calm" the tics often have adverse BULLSHIT side efects. In fact, I BLOODY QUEEF once took a drug called "hanna perodol" which BALLS caused my entire DAMN IT body to go numb and basically made it worse DELICIOUS CAKE than it is without the FUCKING drug.
I am an active JACK OFF member of a TWAT-SUCKING tourette syndrome association and BOOBS I am making steps towards BASTARD eradicating the public PENIS view of Tourettes as a "JESUS TITTYFUCKING CHRIST swearing" disorder, because it is DOUCHEBAG much much more.
I am sorry HAIL SATAN! for FUCK "hi-jacking" your entry on DICK-SUCKER uncyclopedia, but (twitch) it is stuff like this WOP that really YOUR MOTHER SUCKS COCK IN HELL annoys me. I am working towards CUNT a better future for all TAR BABY tourettes sufferers, and you can do the same by SMEGMA editing this MASTURBATION article. Remember, everything NIGGER here is meant YEAST INFECTION to be funny, and making HOT NUTS fun of a horrible disorder is SCUMBUCKET not funny at all.
Thank you for your KRAUT time.

Get the tourette syndrome mug.1) A young lady, especially an unmarried one.
2) Short for iron maiden. A Mideval torture device used in Germany. Basically, it was a coffin. The head and body of a maiden were sculpted into it to give the machine more dignity and elegance. The insides of the doors were lined with spikes, which would pierce the victim, although not fatally, so that he/she would die a slow, painful death.

Women, and especially attractive maidens, were given much grief in times past. Men would look for any excuse to torment them.

Get the maiden mug.From the novel and film of the same name, an impossibly difficult choice, especially when forced onto someone. The choice is between two unbearable options, and it's essentially a no-win situation.
"Sophie's Choice" is centered on a scene in Auschwitz where Sophie has just arrived with her ten-year old son and her seven-year old daughter and a sadistic doctor, presumably Doctor Mengele, tells her that she can only bring one of her children; one will be allowed to live while the other is to be killed.
As a mother, Sophie adores both of her children and can't make this agonizing choice... until several soldiers force her and she hastily gives her daughter to them, sobbing as they take her little girl away.
