Irish

The principle race of Éireann (Ireland).

Also refers to their language, Irish (Gaelic).

They still bear a strong grudge towards the English for the centuries of prejudice and grief heaped on them.

Stereotyped as heavy drinkers, potato bingers, and red-headed.

Not all of them drink, and if they do, not to the extreme that's shown in sterotypes; stereotypes cover only a minority of a people. And they do not eat potoatoes all day, everyday.

And only 10% of Ireland's people are natural redheads; the vast majority are
dark-haired.
Lindsay Lohan, Conan O'Brian, Jerry O'Connell, Enya, and Sinéad O'Connor are Irish.

Tá ann mórán déarfainn má d'fhéadainn labhairt Gaeilge, ach ní féidir liom. Níl mé líofa inti, ach tha mi fileanta sa' Ghàidhlig.

Catherine Eddowes

(April 14, 1842-September 30, 1888) The fourth recognized victim of Jack the Ripper. Called "Kate" by her friends.

Born in Wolverhampton, Kate was one of twelve children and was raised between there and London. Intelligent and bubbly throughout her life, Kate, who was five-foot-two with hazel eyes and auburn hair, took up with ex-soldier Thomas Conway at age 21 and had three children with him (Annie, born 1865; George, born 1868; and Thomas, born 1873). Kate and Conway's marriage was common law and unstable to its end in 1881, due to Conway's violence and Kate's drinking; Conway took the boys and Kate left with Annie.
Soon after leaving Conway, Kate moved to Whitechapel and met John Kelly, with whom she would live until her death. She and John were apparently quite happy together and went together from dosshouse to dosshouse, with Kate occasionally prostituting herself to bring money. Annie, meanwhile, married and regularly moved around to avoid her mother's scrounging. Although Kate had helped Annie through her first pregnancy, Annie could not stand more drunken begging from her mother.
Catherine Eddowes spent September 29 trying to secure money, in the morning pawning a pair of John's work boots for food money. That afternoon, she set off to ask her daughter for money (unaware that Annie and her husband had moved again), reassuring John that she wouldn't meet the Ripper.
Kate never reached Annie, but somehow found some money, enough to become roaring drunk; she was found at 8:30 PM surrounded by a crowd in the middle of Aldgate High Street, giving them a drunken impersonation of a fire engine, after which she curled up on the pavement to sleep.

The police took an unwilling Kate to Bishopsgate Station, where she was locked in a cell to sleep off her stupor. At 12:15, she was heard singing softly in the cell and was judged sober enough. After a scolding about her drinking, Kate left the station at about 1 AM. Meanwhile, the body of Elizabeth Stride had just been found in Berner Street, a mile away.
At 1:30 AM, a police officer saw Kate in Mitre Square (in the City of London itself) speaking with a man; when he returned fifteen minutes later, he found Kate's mutilated body.
Her throat was cut, "V" shapes cut into her cheeks and pointing to her eyes, her eyelids split vertically, the end of her nose cut off, her right cheek gashed. Her skirts were hiked up to her belly and she'd been disemboweled, with her uterus and one kidney taken away.

britney spears

The sole member of a type of prostitute. Known to be sleazy, intellectually challenged, and often biased (once said of the war Iraq: "I, like, think that we should trust our president"). Has a "singing" voice that sounds like a whining fly (which usually sings superficial, inane lyrics and is often drowned out by monotone, obnoxious "music"), puts on performances that come from strip clubs, wears as little as possible and gets away with it, constantly contradicts herself (first saying that she's not a role model, then saying that she wants to be a role model that everyone can relate to (and almost nobody can)).

Sadly, despite her smutty reputation and that she's clearly no role model, many little kids look up to her. Her "beauty" is the true reason for her fame, not her "music"... her flaunting of her body rides the fine line between pride and exploitation. Apparantly thinking that showing off her rather revolting body, flipping the bird to audiances, being disrespectful to her public, and being a total ditz will earn her the older, more mature audiance that she's wanting, she does just that... and has failed at earning an older following.
Why? Why is this Britney Spears famous? Just for showing off her nude body, drinking underage, and being a total sleaze? If it (the music industry) was for the music and not for the glitz and glamour, then she'd be back in the brothels and strip clubs of Hickville Louisiana.

wail

To weep loudly, to cry or bawl, to lament or mourn for someone.

To cry out, usually in grief.
The wind was howling outside that night. At about midnight, we heard a woman wailing, broken by occasional sobs. We knew instantly that it was the banshee. We knew then that one of us would soon die.

As I was locking up for the night, I heard a little girl somewhere in the building, and she was wailing. Following the sound into into the women's room, I saw a little girl of about four, her face flushed from crying. As I walked towards her, she disappeared. Was this my imagination or had I seen a ghost?

hure

German for cognate a whore, a slut. One can see the root of the word "whore" through the German cognate; Old English "hora" evolved into what we now use.
"Hure" is actually used deliberately in Germany in sexual service organizations, used much more often than "prostitute", since the Germans feel that "prostitute" is an unnecessary euphamism for something that doesn't need euphamisms.
