An offense committed against a sovereign power (this would include both kings and elected governments), particularly one which affronts the dignity or sense of self-importance of this sovereign power. Lèse-majesté describes both intentional and unintentional offenses.
The term would begin to take on an ironic or even sarcastic meaning when the supposed offense is unreasonably manufactured in the mind of the sovereign, as seen in the example below.

Get the majesty mug.When one is majestically molested by another person. It is when the majested person will admit that they wanted to be molested as the majestee is: attractive, rich, and so forth. They will never admit at the time, and alcohol is usually the excuse for allowing such molestation.
