haram

1) In Islam, a forbidden activity, food, drink, or thought. Examples of haram things are: eating pork, drinking alcohol, having sex at daytime during Ramadan, extramarital sex, neglect of prayer and fasting, and blasphemy.

2) In the slang of Arabic and languages influenced by Arabic, anything evil or sinful. Forms compounds like Arabic ibn haram 'bastard' (lit. 'son of sin'), and Malay anak haram (also meaning 'bastard').

Uh, isn't making out in a mosque kind of a haram activity? I don't think it matters if you're married.

shih tzu

A breed of lap dog, originating in Tibet, with long, thick fur, short legs and nose, and curly tail.

How far she has gone, from the loud company of four sons, to the lonely bark of the shih tzu that remains the old woman's companion.

FZ

Frank Zappa (1940-1993), American experimental rock composer and guitarist, known for one hit, "Valley Girl", his original band Mothers of Invention, and his anti-censorship activism in the 1980s (even testifying at a Senate hearing during the height of the PMRC).

I've been wondering what the lead guitarist has been playing lately, it's been weird. Must be one of his FZ stints.
