sirenology

Sirenology is the study of the nature, origin, and cultural impact of the species mermaid. In the 20th century this area of study became broadened to include human women considered to be a temptress or seductress especially celebrities such as Mae West and Marilyn Monroe. Contemporary music videos such as those of Lady Gaga and Rihanna continue the long association between music and the siren in mythology and human culture. In the 19th century Sirenology also was used as a term in the study of the aquatic mammals manatee and dugong which became involved in Mermaid theory.
The study of the religious significance of Lasyrenn in Haitian Vodou is considered to be one example of Sirenology.

Shire Mum

They are mums from an area of Sydney called the Sutherland Shire. They are like a combo of a Karen, soccer Mum and Pinterest Mum combined. They all live on the water in port hacking, Lilly pilly and Caringbah south etc. They all have aesthetic Instagram pages with well behaving kids and they go to wine and sips with their girlfriends and gossip. But beware they may come across as friendly but they are judgmental bitches and love drama.
Hey babe can you watch the kids I’m going to a wine and sip with the other shire mums.

midday soiree

Pretentious, translation-challenged oxymoron that mistakes the meaning of the French word "soirée" to be "party" instead of "evening." Refers to a meetup of haughty people probably in a yatch eating cucumber sandwiches and wearing breeches.
We look forward to a midday soiree of great company, intriguing conversation, tasty cocktails, and assorted entertainment at The Manor.
