biopower

A term originally coined by French philosopher Michel Foucault to refer to the practice of modern states and their regulation of their subjects through "an explosion of numerous and diverse techniques for achieving the subjugations of bodies and the control of populations".

Regulation of customs, habits, health, reproductive practices, family, "blood", and "well-being" would be straightforward examples of biopower, as would any conception of the state as a "body" and the use of state power as essential to its "life".

brimping

The process through which a male and a female undergo a form of intercourse in which the female uses her hair to sexually pleasure the reproductive genitalia of the male. This is generally how one knows that a relationship has become serious, and often symbolizes commitment.

"Did you hear about those two? They were just brimping! Neither one of them even proposed!"
