Most guys, and even many women, do not know this. The clitoris becomes engorged with blood upon arousal, making it hard, much like a penis. The term derives from the shape of the clitoral glans (the round part under the clitoral hood and the part that can actually be seen) and how hard it gets.

Get the Glass Marblemug. a situation in which women, specifically those from underrepresented communities, are promoted to higher positions during times of crisis or duress, or during a recession when the chance of failure is more likely.
Put simply, women in these situations are set up for failure.
It also makes the company look good. If the woman fails, the company is labeled as being progressive and is free to replace her with a man. If she succeeds, the company is better off and may even take credit for appointing the right person for the job. Even with the high chance of failure, a glass cliff position can be difficult to turn down because leadership roles are so infrequently offered to women
for exp: Jen O'Neal, Liz Truss, Kamala Harris and many more.

Get the glass flutemug. That greasy fingerprint on the lens of your glasses, left on there by either yourself as a mistake, or some dickish kid who knows how to piss you off. It can't be wiped away, and just spreads if you try to do so. You'll most likely have to deal with it for a while and it gets more irritating the longer it's there.
