Anger or rage ignited by a perceived or real injustice/ offense; resentment or bitterness. The resulting feeling when one feels that they have been snubbed or screwed over, pissed off.
The public was bursting with indignation when the likes of child-killing whores Lori Drew and Casey Anthony were released for a "lack of evidence".
The LGBT community took to the streets in fierce indignation when Prop 8 was passed; how dare strangers meddle in their private lives and take their rights away!

Get the indignation mug.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.

Get the peasant mug.A makeshift factory where men, women, and children slave for twelve hours or more a day for almost no money in crowded, dirty, dangerous conditions under the iron fist of unscrupulous managers just so that rich children get the toys that they want for their birthdays and for Christmas and so that their parents and older siblings get nice clothes and cool gadgets.
Nike, Banana Republic, the Gap, among others, use sweatshops. Sweatshops are everywhere, from Thailand and Honduras to New York and Los Angeles, often virtually enslaving workers.
The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire on March 25, 1911, in New York killed 146 clothing makers, most of them young immigrant women, some of them as young as thirteen. 62 of them jumped nine floors to the street below in their effort to escape the fire. And the patterns are being repeated today around the world.

Get the sweatshop mug.A higher-class prostitute. Usually from a middle-class background, usually more educated and has much more control over her situtation than the streetwalker.
She is so-named because she arranges her appointments over the telephone.
Call girls are generally the most attractive of the prostitutes (and the most expensive).

I'd call Britney Spears a call girl, but she's dressed more like a streetwalker and seems to be of lower-class extraction and less-than-average intellect.

Get the call girl mug.A French diminuitive of "Madame"; "Mademoiselle" means "My little lady". It once was used to signify an unmarried woman, but concidering that it is a diminutive of "Madame", now it is just used for girls and young women, and the professional title for women is "Madame".
Still, Mademoiselle is used for young women by their admirers.

Get the mademoiselle mug.Subtle or not-so-subtle implications to sexual activity in an otherwise seemingly innocuous phrase. It's excellent if you have a dirty/weird sense of humor.
Some luscious examples of innuendo-
Q: "What's brown, oval, hairy, delicious, and contains a thin, whitish liquid? It begins with 'c' and ends with 't'."
A: "Cocoanut"
Q: "What does a cow have that a woman has only two of?"
A: "Legs"
Q: "What does a man do standing up, a woman do sitting down, and a dog do on three legs?"
A: "Shake hands"
Q: "This thing is long, thin, has a collection of bristles on one end, is enjoyed by both sexes, and is inserted into a warm, wet orface. When it's removed, the cavity that it was placed into is filled with a thick, white liquid. What is it?"
A: "Your toothbrush"
"I'm a pianist. I love to play with my organ, too."
"The meeting just started. Are you coming?"
"I have to pick up prescriptions for the kids. I need MYCOXAFLOPPIN, MYDIXADRUPIN, DIXAFIX, and IBEPOKIN."
-"What type of whale was Moby Dick?"
-"Um... a semen whale"
-"... (snickering)"
-"Don't you mean sperm whale?"
"What I hate about cleaning (replace the word 'cleaning' with the word 'sex') is that I'm never sure where to put it. I have to find a place where it looks nice. And I also have to get down on my knees and go where it smells bad."
"'Pet My Pussy Barbie' comes with her cat and everything you see here."
And so the town cheered as the girl stuck the oil drill into the crevice.

Get the innuendo 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.
