Due to the presence of "where", many people mistake this Shakespearean word to mean "where", but it actually means "why".
"...there's the catalog... with a cartoon of Shakespeare's Juliet standing on her balcony, gazing off into the distance, and asking 'Wherefore art thou, teaching aids?' Lower on the page, Romeo stares up at Juliet and says 'Inside! Eighteen new publications plus many other fine materials.'... any teaching aid that advertises itself by questioning its own existance is falling down in the marketing department." -Richard Lederer.

Juliet: (on the balcony, looking off into the distance) "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?"
Romeo: (standing right under her, thinking to himself) "Wherefore dost I quander my hour with yonder wayward, motley-minded flax-wench?"

Get the wherefore 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."Healthily plump", filled-out, thick-bodied and ample, neither thin nor fat. May or may not be overweight and may or may not have some rolls and love handles. Often comes with great legs and a great booty.
Applied to men, barrel chested and broad-shouldered with nicely-shaped legs and a solid, substantial body.
Applied to women, broad-hipped and womanly with lots of voluptuous curves and generously endowed in the butt and breasts.

As a football player, he was quite buxom with his big, round chest, his thick arms and legs, his ample butt, and the solid muscles underneath.
She was a tall, buxom girl with blue eyes and a head of thick cinnamon curls that fell almost to her waist. She smugly sashayed down the street, her low neckline together with her big hips and posterior drawing the eyes of many a young male.

Get the buxom mug.Gaelic name: Alba.
The northernmost country of the United Kingdom. Reknowned for tartans/kilts(which men look stunning in!), the lovely Highlands, many languages (Gàidhlig, Scots),
and much grief from the English.
Americans are known to settle there because of less expensive homes. The country is already very mixed up with people; native Scots could eventually be overwhelmed.

"Latha Math!" (Good day!)
"I'm sorry?"
"Nach eil Gàidhlig agaibh?" (You don't speak Gaelic?)
"I'm afraid that I don't understand you, ma'am... I thought you people spoke English."
"We do speak English... and Gaelic was our original language before the bloody English came in!"

Get the Scotland mug.A person composed largely of plastic. A blonde bimbo who is famous for no apparant reason other than producing a shitty, pathetic excuse for music, "dressing" in almost nothing, flipping the bird to anybody for no apparant reason, getting implants and a nose job and lying about them, lying about herself in general, being a hypocrite, and being just about the biggest fraud yet.
For some infuriating reason, she' still in the spotlight and we still can't get her out of it. And even worse, children look up to her. She could not seem to make up her mind about the matter: "I only want to be a role model for my sister," or "I want to be a role model, someone everyone can relate to!"
Does she even know what a role model is? She's a feminist's (and anybody's) worst nightmare.
And the correct spelling of her name is supposed to be "Brittany".

"Just hit me baby one more time!"
Don't tempt us, Britney! Oi, I swear, this
tramp is really asking for it! C'mon people, just look at her! -She's a talentless, moronic slut! She can't sing and her "dancing" and whole "act" is practically a striptease! Why should anybody admire this freak, let alone children?!

Get the britney spears mug.Being sexually active with many different people. Depending on its use, it can be good or bad.
Men, as they have usually set the standards, are rarely regarded/looked down upon as promiscuous. Women, on the other hand, aren't so lucky, despite that the tide is turning in their favor.
Still, sexual behavior has little, if anything, to do with someone as a person. Somebody can be very active sexually and yet be caring and thoughtful at the same time... although it doesn't apply to everyone.

Britney Spears has a reputation for being promiscuous. She's the epitome of the vamp... or slut, as I should probably say.
How many men/women does a woman have to sleep with to be concidered promiscuous? 10? 7? 5? 3? 2? 1?
Promiscuous women are (often unfairly) known as harlots, sluts, and whores, among other things.
How many men/women does a man have to sleep with to be concidered promiscuous? 10? 50? 100? 500? 2,000?
Promiscuous men are usually known as studs... or lechers or dirty old men, depending on the age of the man or who he is.
