temporary insanity sex urge

The insane or insane-like urge to fuck.
I remember feeling such a strong urge and need to fuck my woman that looking back on it I realize I was in a condition which could be correctly described as temporary insanity. In that condition nothing else mattered as much as fucking her. I call that condition "temporary insanity sex urge."

Glorifry

Glorifying something which in reality harms the members of society.
To the detriment of society war is glorified by Hollywood and the media, but its glorification and "gorycealment" (concealing the bloody parts of violence) also helps ensure that sufficient young taxpayers will enlist in the armed forces to protect the nation from or allow Americans to react to, for example, the asinine invasion of Pearl Harbor in 1941, or other types of attacks individuals tend to find adjectives for. "Was it rational to attack the Japanese for invading Pearl Harbor," the professor asked. A student replied that if the U.S. hadn't attacked Japan, that empire would have grown stronger and as far away as the U.S. is from Japan, like the United Kingdom took back the Malvina Islands, Japan could have successfully invaded and conquered the U.S. So to imposibilize that, President Roosevelt did the correct thing by retaliating and inserting the U.S. into WWII. Some individuals suspect that glorifying war is an act of glorifrycation. So much for glorifry.
