deadwing

A person who has been compromised or proven themselves unreliable, untrustworthy, a liability, and generally useless. Someone who has fallen from grace, and is generally ostracized. Someone who destroys themselves or others or causes great harm due to acts of stupidity, hubris, vanity, greed or negligence. For example, Icarus flew too close to the sun, melting his wings, and fell to his death.

Surprisingly, this word is used quite often in English-speaking countries, but does not appear in mainstream dictionaries. Some examples of popular references are Porcupine Tree's album entitled "Deadwing", and used in "Walking Dead" when Martinez refers to the Governor as a 'deadwing'.

Deadly Semen Backup

Deadly semen backup, or as doctors call it DSB, is a condition brought on by extended male abstinence , frequently combined with the absence of masturbation , resulting in massive loads of semen accumulating in the lower pelvis area, and travelling up to the brain and central nervous system. The accumulated semen interferes with the operation of the brain and can result in death. The condition can only be remedied by immediate and continued application of oral stimulation and vaginal stimulation.
