Cosette

A character in Victor Hugo's Les Misérables. Cosette is the illigitimate daughter of Fantine, who had to leave her in the care of the Thénardier family while she worked to support Cosette. Unknown to the illiterate Fantine, the sociopathically cruel Thénardier family abuse the little girl and make false claims about her health so that Fantine will send more money to them. The money is then used for their own expenses and to spoil their own daughters, Eponine and Azelma, while Cosette is treated as a virtual slave... until Fantine's death, when her former boss, Jean Valjean, comes to rescue Cosette, bribing the ruthless Thénardiers to let her go. From there, Jean Valjean and Cosette escape to Paris.

Nine years later, at age seventeen, Cosette is a beautiful, well-bred young woman and doted on by Papa Valjean. Trouble begins when she runs into Marius Pontmercy, a young nobleman and student, and they fall in love. Valjean, worried about his discovery by Javert and about his adoptive daughter's safety, tries to thwart the budding love affair until he realizes that she's no longer a little girl and he has to let her go; out of love for her, he saves a wounded Marius from the barricade. She and Marius eventually marry before Valjean dies, leaving his life story to her.

Cosette's character is much stronger in the book and the depth of her romance with Marius a major emotional focus while Eponine is a peripheral character, although no less sad and pitiful.

Cosette is the peripheral character in the musical, almost one-dimensional while Eponine's presence is much stronger and shares the pathos with Fantine.

kitchen cosmetics

Term made famous in referring to YouTubers in the beauty community who attempt to make their own makeup and cosmetics. Usually means having informal development environments, such as in their kitchen and bedroom, or in relation to unhygienic practices and questionable ingredients. 'Kitchen cosmetics' became a famous term regarding John Kuckian's makeup line.

Cassey: "What do you think of John Kuckian's makeup line?"
Michelle: "What makeup line? You mean his kitchen cosmetics?"

Consett

a small disease ridden town smacked between lanchester and Stanley full of Sunderland and Newcastle supporters who think they're hard and get drunk on the streets full of little Consett academy chavs who like to spend their time having a shark and vaping they like to harass the elderly and throw stones at single mothers.

Have you been to Consett? Why would I go there.

cassette

Something that is used to store music. Used to be real popular. Actually they sound better than cd because they don't start to distort at 15khz like 44.1khz a second cd's do! Cds also cut the high frequencies right off at 22.5khz while analog tape flexes instead of just cutting off. We can only hear up to about 19khz but we can feel the high frequencies like you can with bass. This is what gives it the feeling, character and experience. You need a good deck and tape though! Cds use the physcoacoustic technique which is when the sound is missing chunks because of the 16 bit rate and your brain fills in the missing info. Tapes don't do this! They are linear. The signal mixing with the tape creates complex harmonics and transients which sound even warmer. Ya, they have hiss, but only in quite areas and you can overcome that by recording "hot" and using a good dolby deck. I think the hiss actually adds more charcter and warmth, like a more airy feeling. Plus you can record tapes hot(past 0db) to get a louder and more powerfull signal, digital just clips and disorts right after 0db. Vinyl is even better. Go get a good vinyl record(like and origianl pink floyd) on a good turn table and compare it to a cd or mp3(compressed cd). A ton of music is still recorded on the best real to real mulitrackers and then mixed down to cds for the average consumer. At least use dvd audio at 96khz, that's much better than cd. Tapes are awesome!

"Can you record that for me on a blank cassette?"

Corsetted appetite

A suppressed sensation of hunger due to wearing an extremely tight corset, for the purposes of doing exactly this as well as to push up your breasts as high as possible so that they are in the line of vision of men.

"I can't eat a thing, i think I have a corsetted appetite" she said as he stared at her breasts popping out the top of her corset.
