whale
A large sea-dwelling mammal that has been mistaken for a fish in times past since they resemble fish in physical appearance. Whales are more closely related to hippopotomi and elephants than fish.
masculine
Often defined as aggressive, strong, and unfeeling or stoic. Being masculine means in modern times, at least, no shows of emotion, no flamboyance, no hugging or even looking at other men, must be interested in sports and physical/violent activity.
What masculine is is simply what a man does. Assuming responsibility for your actions; being sympathetic, sensitive, and caring; and gentleness are perfectly fine for men. A true man is not a hard-nosed, violent, overgrown child; he's a mature, kind individual.

Until the 1800s, men's dress was about as flamboyant as women's dress, and men were allowed to show emotion and tears. But their clothing styles sobered and they were taught to be strong, stoic. Affection was still allowed... but as the world became aware of gays and other sexual minorities, male/male affection was scorned.
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.
lover
Somebody that you love, and especially in the romantic/sexual sense. A sweetheart.
Warning: For every day of joy, there is one of woe, if you get my drift. The more you love someone, the more he makes you cry, or makes you crazy.
Still, those parts can be worked past. Lovers provide emotional support, shelter in a storm.

redhead
A person with red hair (the redness ranging from strawberry blond to dark auburn). The stereotype is that all redheads have a fiery temper... but that doesn't hold true for all redheads.
Redheads usually have the fairest(palest) skin and burn quite easily. Sunburn is not a pleasant experience.
Freckles and blue or green eyes are also common apart from fiery hair and pale skin.
Scotland has the most red hair, with 11% to 13% of the people natural redheads. Ireland comes in a close second, with 10% of the people being natural redheads.
Female redheads are often worshipped for their beauty... yet not much is said for the male redheads.

Why is it when people hear "redhead", then they automatically think of a glamorous lady with pale skin and flowing red tresses? There's red-haired men too.

mother
The woman who gave birth to you and raised you.
Some mothers are known for embarrassing their children... or being cruel to them Joan Crawford was among the most prominent of this type, if not the worst.
Still others are wonderful, loving, devoted women. Mine is one of them.
Pet names for her would be "mom", "mommy", "mama", or similar names.

Scotland
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.
