Genghis Khan's Wives 

Genghis Khan was a prolific lover. Like other rulers, Genghis Khan had many concubines and mistresses. He would take the most beautiful women that he could find from the lands that he had conquered and would make them a part of his harem. This resulted in Genghis Khan having one of the largest harems in history. Genghis Khan slept with so many women that about 16 million men in the world today are direct descendants of him. He also had about 12 wives.

Most of Genghis Khan's wives were given a territory of the Mongol Empire to govern over, and his wives would accompany him on his campaigns. Börte was the most powerful out of all his wives as she was Grand Empress of his empire.

- Börte: First wife. Börte was kidnapped by the Merkits, but was rescued by Genghis Khan within a year.
- Yisui: Genghis Khan took Yisui as his wife after her tribe was conquered by the Mongols.
- Kunju Khatun: It is not unlikely that she was taken from lands conquered by Genghis Khan.
- Khulan khatun: Genghis Khan took her in as a gift from the Merkit's after they surrendered.
- Yesugen: She and Yesui were sisters.
- Yesui: Sister of Yesugen. Yesui accompanied Genghis Khan on his second expedition to the Western Xia empire. Genghis Khan become ill during the expedition, but very few people knew about this because his wife worked to hide his condition.
- Isukhan, Gunju, Abika, Gurbasu, Chaga, and Moge

scornful farm wives 

These are those tired old worn out bags that have worked the same lame ass factory job for 30 years or more and haven't advanced their knowledge since the first week. They are jealous of anyone who took the time to educate themselves and are vicious and anal. It is fun to make them squirm by waliking around with tape measures and talking in scientific or engineering terms.
"Boy, wouldn't it be nice if those scornful farm wives would retire once and for all? They haven't done anything except share recipes all goddamned day."

The Crane Wives 

The best band of all time. An indie-folk band from Grand Rapids, Michigan, they describe themselves as "home grown indie-folk outfit from Grand Rapids, Michigan that defies musical stereotypes." Sounds kinda pretentious, but they're a great band.
My favorite song by The Crane Wives is Hollow Moon.

A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.

“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
