wherefore

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?"

nobility

1. The elite class in a monarchy or aristocracy, with offices and titles that are usually hereditary (via peerage).

2. Of or relating to nobles. Another term for aristocrats. Lords and Ladies.
Caligula demanded sex from not only slaves, but from family members, senators, and the nobility.

The worst cruelties were inflicted on the peasants by the nobility who ruled over them.

nobility

The highest social class in pre-modern societies and even in a few contemporary societies, and the status and title of a noble are usually inherited; basically another term for aristocrats, a tiny group of elite people who are omnipotent over the common people.

Nobles are born into wealth and power and often into politics, regardless of their merit to these privileges; peerage is the legal system to constitute the various hereditary titles.
From highest to lowest rank, the most common peerage titles are:
-duke and duchess
-marquis and marquise
-earl/count and countess
-viscount and viscountess
-baron and baroness

Under a feudal system, the nobility earned property from the monarch through military service.
The peasants resented the nobility for their frivolity, but at least these farmers had little to lose; the courts of the elite were swarming with ruthless intrigue, often with plots of overthrowing the royal family. Noblewomen were married off young, had little real power, and just served to manage households and produce many children (who were raised by nannies) to continue the family dynasty, never free to live or choose as they wanted.

Nobility had/have everything to lose: wealth, reputation, position, allies, public support, political influence, and life. A very public life with numerous people breathing down one's neck and threats on one's person did not help matters, either.

inbreeding

The breeding of people/ animals/ plants that are closely related to each other (first cousins or even closer), thus keeping the genepool weak and leaving them vulnerable to various health problems, mentally and emotionally as well as physically.
Purebred dogs and royalty are notorious for inbreeding; to keep the line "pure" then they are only allowed to procreate with their "own kind", even when offspring are stupid, sickly, deranged, ugly or any number of things.

Carlos II of Spain was the end result of the Spanish Hapsburgs; his parents were uncle and niece and both were highly inbred. Carlos was deformed, retarded, delicate, and had an extended infancy and premature senility. He was married twice, but he was impotent and sex was beyond his abilities.

Plants can be inbred, too; bananas of today are very different from those of three generations ago and often lack the genetic diversity which would keep them healthy.

tourette syndrome

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.

Best TOWEL HEAD regards,

Phillip "NIGGA" Baker"

tiger

A striped jungle cat, the largest member of the cat family. Endangered. Their natural habitat and food in and around India is decreasing and more than laws to protect them are needed for these undeniably viscious but remarkable creatures.
Tigers do not eat cereal, unlike a certain cartoon tiger named Tony.

Tigers might look cute... but a smaller the version, the tabby, is a better way to go as far as pets are concerned.

fanny

Obsolete: A pet form of the name "Frances".

UK and Australia: the female genitals

US: the buttocks

As a result of these different meanings, there is bound to be confusion.
"How's my sweet, lovable little Fanny?"

"Have you seen my Fanny?"

"I'm in love with Fanny..."

"That's my Fanny; as cute and sweet as ever!"

"What could she do? She was out on her fanny."

"We deserve a spanking, right on our fannies!"

"Just look at this little rash on her fanny."

"I'll just put it in my fanny pack."

"Danny, Danny with the big, white fanny-!"
