(1929-1990) One of the most disturbing murderers in Indiana history (and indeed history in general), a demon disguised as a mother. A three times divorced borderline personality and sociopath who lead her seven children and several neighborhood children in the appalling two-month torture in 1965 of two sisters who she was boarding, Silvia and Jenny Likens (ages 16 and 15) and eventually murdered Silvia.
The stronger of the pair, Silvia took the brunt of Gertrude's fury; she called Silvia filthy (Gertrude's own house was a virmin-ridden hellhole), called her a whore (Gertrude had fucked another man during one of her three marriages (resulting in a child) and her own teenage daughter was a slut who was pregnant by a married man) and subjected the girls (and Silvia in particular) to physical, verbal, and sexual tortures that are nightmares to even conceive of.
Neighbors had noticed the battered state of the Likens girls, but they did not report Gertrude.
Gertrude tried to pin the crimes on her children and the neighborhood children when Silvia's hideously mangled body was found.
In other words, a demon bitch and a good reason for parents to do extensive background checks on caregivers before entrusting their loved ones to them.
Gertrude Baniszewski was sentenced to life in prison in 1966, but was paroled in 1985 for "good behavior", despite the outrage of the Likens family and the public at large. She died under a false name in 1990; it marks a huge injustice for two innocent young women who were martyrs to a needless crime.

Her eldest daughter and the rest of her children and the other children involved were also sentenced, but their punishments seem more like a slap on the wrist.

She could be compared to Lori Drew for Drew's cyberbullying of Megan Meier (leading the girl to suicide) for some perceived slight toward her own daughter.

It is the ultimate sexual act where a man ejaculates onto a drum stick and then shoves it up his wife's pussy. The wife then menstruates into a box of stove to stuffing and they stuff that inside a whole duck. They bake it then proceed to eat the meal. They eat nothing else until the meal is excreted. They use the oil from the excrement to make a lubricant. AKA the slippery gertrude
For thanksgiving this year, me and my wife doing the slippery gertrude.

People who you love and love to hate. They are that guy or girl who you were sort of/kind of romantically entangled with, who you now just kind of hate, but still want to do. If you know Gertrude or Jimmy you probably want to fuck them and you also probably want to fuck them over. Because, basically, that's the type of people they are---fuckers.
Dear Diary,

New Jimmy. Slowly hating him. While simeltaneously liking him very very very much. Ahhh, I'm fucking angry. Fuck Gertrude and Jimmy!

Hamlet's mother, Gertrude, is famous for her quote "The lady doth protest too much, methinks". Gertrude's Law states that if a person is overly passionate about condemning a certain lifestyle choice, they most likely engage in that lifestyle secretly. Some notable examples are Jimmy Swaggart, Ted Haggard, and most recently Arifinto, an Indonesian MP who helped pass an anti-pornography law. He was later photographed looking at porn on his iPad during a parliamentary debate.
That family values preacher just got caught at a glory hole. It looks like further proof of Gertrude's Law.

An all-girls, Catholic high school in Richmond. Here, young ladies are able to be successful academically, artistically, and athletically without their mommies and daddies having to pay an insane amount of money for a wonderful education. Many of these “dirty Gerties”, a name which used to be offensive but now is embraced by the entire student community, live the good life in high school, especially when attending parties, where they always making sure that their presence is well known. They can drink any other girl under the table, including the young men.. er women? of Saint Catherine’s.
Their uniforms consist of a green, plaid skirt, brown tie shoes, and a white Oxford blouse. These simple uniforms are a favorite among all men, except those at Saint Christopher’s due to their homosexual nature and their repulsive attraction to the fugly Saint Catherine’s girls.
Their brother school down the street, Benedictine, is an all boys military school that specializes in dominating over any other school, especially when it comes to basketball.
Dirty Gertie #1: What if you went to Saint Catherine’s?
Dirty Gertie #2: I’d hang myself.

Saint Catherine’s Girl #1: OMG my daddy just like TOTALLY bought me this bitchin’ new car that I don’t need but had to have, another North Face, and Kate Spade. Too bad he’s bangin’ my boyfriend from Saint Chris…
Saint Catherine’s Girl #2: Ya too bad… O well! Let’s go pop a couple Aderol, suck down as much Starbucks and cock as we can, and see if we can get any bigger egos to compensate for the lack of what we can offer to the world. Want to?
Saint Catherine’s Girl #3: Screw that! I’m up for a party where we can all get real drunk off of two beers or a glass of wine
Saint Catherine’s Girl #1: OMG that’ll like TOTALLY cheer me up. Maybe if we’re lucky, some guy will get hammered enough to hook up with us or maybe we can get like a roofie and pretend we don’t remember.
Saint Catherine’s Girl #2: That’s be SO awesome. Or better yet, why don’t we just go dome on the tennis court like we usually do?
Saint Catherine’s Girl #3: Ummm… we have to wait on that... My dad and my boyfriend are out there right now.

Why doesn't everyone just shut up and stop insulting each other. Who cares who is prettier if you are all bitches. Try to be nice for once and get along.
Everyone is trying to make their school look better but just ends up looking more stupid.
