A form of government in which the head of goverment (a King or Queen) inherits the title.
Absolute Monarchy is where the King or Queen has absolute power and can do what he wants.
Constituitonal monarchy is when the King shares power with Parliament and must follow the rules of the constituition.
Originally, thousands of years ago, monarchy was so that one guy could control all and everyone would know who succeeded him. This way, there were no fights between people over things like laws or taxes because only one person decided that, and no fights over who would succeed him because it was his child. Unfortunately in many cases (I won't say most because that is an opinion) the ruler wasn't suited for the job and there were fights anyway. Because of this many countries either changed to Democracy or changed to Constitutional Monarchy.

A place characterized by frivolity, excessive display of how fancy this place is, and pretentious.
It comes from the the book Pilgrim's Progress, where there was a fair in a town called Vanity. Later on, there was a book called Vanity Fair, and that's when it became a common term.

I got invited to a party at my friend Martha's house. You know, the rich girl who's related to the queen? Anyway, the party was a vanity fair.
What movie should we see? I'm thinking of seeing Vanity Fair. It's based on a novel I had to read in high school.

1.The dictionary definition is happy. However, this is archaic and few people use it any more except in the phrase gay old time.
2.Homosexual, especially homosexual males but can be used for lesbians as well.
3.A generic insult. It can mean bad, stupid, whatever you want it to mean.
My Opinion:
Don't say that something is gay as an insult. I find this highly immature, mostly because it is often used when people can't think of a proper insult even when there is nothing homosexual about whatever they're insulting.

A movie directed by Brad Bird about a very tall alien from space made out of iron who befriends a young boy during the Cold War. I believe it is set around 1957ish.

A place where unappreciated teacher attempt to teach kids something. Most kids think school is 'pointless' well guess what stupid, if you payed attention you'd know why this was useful. Since you hate school so much why don't you spend all day slaving at a job instead?

To try and convince someone to make whatever they are selling a lower price. They'll suggest a price, you'll suggest a lower one, and each of you keep on suggesting prices until you are willing to pay.
