Lorelili's definitions
A Scottish Gaelic slang (an insulting) term for a gay male, literally meaning "boy of the arse", implying being a passive partner in anal sex.
'S e tàmailt a tha "gille-tòine", ach ciamar nach bu chòir dhomh pròiseil a bhith a tha mi co-sheòrsach?
(It's an insult that "boy of the arse" is, but why should I not be proud that I'm gay?)

Get the gille-tòinemug. Used to mean "vigorous", "hale and hearty".
Now it refers to a woman with a full figure, voluptuous curves and generously endowed in the bust and hips (as opposed to the bone-thin supermodels shown in the media).
Think of Jennifer Hudson, Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson, Sara Ramirez, Queen Latifah, Kate Winslet, Marilyn Monroe, Anna Nicole Smith, Mia Tyler, Chloe Agnew, America Ferrera, among others.

Why the craze with these androgynous stick figures on the runway?! After thousands of years of worshipping buxom, full figured women with wide hips and lots of curves, we're down to admiring these starving waifs who can barely sustain themselves, much less a baby?

Get the buxommug. "I'd rather go out with someone a little more unpredictable."
Is that what anyone would want in a spouse or a sweetheart? Somebody who is inconsistent, flaky, fickle, erratic, and just unreliable? A bad boy would be just the wrong man to marry if you want a successful, stable marriage.

Get the unpredictablemug. Often confused with "asocial", which is very different; "asocial" means one who seeks to avoid society, somebody who refuses to or cannot socialize with others, like someone on the autism spectrum.
Antisocial means "against society" or "anti-society"; hostile and antagonistic toward society. This includes behavior that disrespects and violates the rights and feelings of others as well as the order and principles of society, behavior that includes theft, bullying, rape, deception, murder, and general criminal behavior.
An antisocial personality knows the difference between right and wrong but does not care; as long as they get what they want, they don't care who they have to walk over. Any means- manipulation, flattery, intimidation, cruelty, theft, murder- is perfectly justified to them

Robert Hare, revising his psychopathy checklist, says that all psychopaths are antisocial personalities but not all antisocial personalities are psychopaths. Similar to the autism spectrum, antisocial personalities range from obvious sociopaths to extreme (and well-hidden) psychopaths.

Get the antisocialmug. 1) A humanoid creature with magical powers and sometimes butterfly wings. Fairies (or "faeries" if you prefer) can be any size from the size of a seed to human size. Known to be pranksters, it is best not to get on their bad side. Dwarves, leprachauns, satyrs, banshees, nymphs and elves can also be concidered fairies.
2) A usually derogatory term for a gay male, especially one who is flamboyant and acts more "feminine" than a woman (as if there were something wrong with being feminine). A heterosexual man who acts in a feminine manner is also sometimes called a "fairy".

1) The fairy darted through the forest, trailing magic dust.

Get the fairymug. The high female singing voice in opera, choir, and music in general, with a singing range from C4 (middle C) to D6 (D over a woman's high C) just over two octaves above.
Situated over the mezzo-soprano (who often plays her rival), the soprano usually plays the female lead in opera and musical theater, usually the heroine.
Many pop and broadway singers are sopranos, although the vocal subcategories used in opera are not applied to them. Examples include Amy Adams, Sarah Brightman, Julie Andrews, Allison Crowe, Joni Mitchell, Dolly Parton, Jayma Mays, Charlotte Church, Mariah Carey, Minnie Riperton, Floor Jansen and Kristin Chenoweth.

According to vocal weight/voice type and range, sopranos are usually divided into five different categories:
Soubrette: usually a beginner whose voice is developing, a light voice with less strength in extreme high and low notes, she plays flirtatious and sassy but sweet comical characters.
Coloratura: a flexible, flute-like voice with a very high range, she performs vocal acrobatics. Examples include Sumi Jo, Natalie Dessay, and Beverly Sills
Lyric soprano: A strong, sweet, lightweight voice usually reserved for the ingenue and other likable characters. Examples include Renee Fleming, Tarja Turunen, Kiri Te Kanawa, and Mirella Freni.
Spinto soprano: A lyric voice with a strong dramatic edge, a bridge between lyric and dramatic. Examples include Leontyne Price, Renata Tebaldi, and Roxana Briban.
Dramatic soprano: A powerful, emotive, edgy voice which is suited to bold, desperate, tragic heroines. Examples include Maria Callas, Floor Jansen, Karita Mattila and Deborah Voigt.

Get the sopranomug. An insulting term for a sexually loose woman, derived from the old English word hora (from the Indo-European root ka; meaning "to like, desire"), so "whore" could be translated as "pleasurer".
Also another word for a prostitute (strangely, while "whore" is considered a pejorative word in the English-speaking world, in Germany the organizations of prostitutes use the word Hure (whore) on purpose since they feel that prostitute is an unnecessary euphemism for something that doesn't need any euphemisms.)
