1. A bundle of sticks.
2. British term for a cigarette.
3. An insulting term for a gay male, usually used by insecure straight males of the teenage persuasion to "show that they are not gay". Still, used among gay men, "faggot" is sometimes a term of affection/badge of pride, but it is still a loaded word.

Get the faggot mug.The lower womans voice in a choir.
In opera, and especially for women, the alto is known as the contralto while singers in choirs and child singers with the same range are known simply as altos.
Strictly speaking, the alto range is really the mezzo-soprano and contralto ranges put together, mezzo soprano being the higher of the two.

Get the alto mug.Terminating something that usually incomplete and/or unwanted.
In most cases, an abortion is terminating an unwanted pregnancy. Not because the mother wnats to kill the baby, but because she is not ready for a child, doesn't want a child, or some other reason.
Too many abortions have been carried out in back-alley clinics with unsafe methods and ignorant providers. Women have gotten terribly sick and died because of botched abortions.
A fetus has only been in the world for a few months while the mother has been in the world for years. Both would be missed should one of them die, but the mother would be leaving so much should she be lost.
Abortions, contrary to those who oppose it, actually does help children; it reduces the number of abused/neglected children; if the parents didn't want the baby and end up having it, they (the parents) would become frustrated by the fact that they had a child that they didn't intend to have, leading to neglect and abuse of the child. With abortion, the child won't have to endure the abuse.
Too many "oops" babies have been born and life made hard for the child and the parents; it's the contraceptive, abortion, or adoption.

Abortion must be accessible to all and be made safer so that women won't die or become sick from a botched or faulty abortion.

Get the abortion mug.A title for a woman, derived from "mistress" (ie. "The Mistress of the House"). "Mrs" was used to refer to any woman, regardless of age and/or maritial status until the Victorian Era, when the diminuitive "Miss" was selected for unmarried women and married women were known as "Mrs".
(English-speaking) feminists now decry the use of "Mrs", feeling that the view that a woman is complete only when she is married is demeaning. Therefore, they use "Ms" instead.
Strangely, "In other European languages, non-sexist usage in this regard usually amounts to using words more or less equivalent to Mrs. (madame, señora, senhora, signora, Frau, bean-uasal) for both married and unmarried women, and whether they take their husband's name or not. This makes sense as these titles are usually the direct feminine equivalents of the male titles (monsieur, señor, senhor, signore, Herr, máistir/tiarna, maighstir/tighearna), whereas the equivalent of Miss is a diminutive of the female equivalent (mademoiselle, señorita, senhorita, signorina, Fräulein, ógbhean-uasal, maighdeann-uasal)." - Wikipedia

Get the mrs mug.Displeased about something. Offended, insulted, or resentful, especially when you feel that you have been wronged, snubbed, or screwed over.
Silda Spitzer indignantly stood by her philandering husband, glaring at him as he rattled off an apology.
Allen and Jose, in all of the worry that Jose could be deported and all of the marital rights and security that were denied to them, grew indignant as Rush Limbaugh slammed same-sex marriage; as a serial monogamist with an overindulgent lifestyle and a drug addiction, *HE* was one to talk!

Get the indignant mug.Catherine II of Russia (1729-1796), also known as Catherine the Great, was one of the best leaders in Russian history, ruling from 1762 to her death. A princess from an obscure but well-connected royal family, Catherine was chosen by Empress Elizabeth of Russia as a bride for her nephew and heir, Peter III.
Catherine and Peter were horribly mismatched; she was intellectual, ambitious, pensive, witty, and eager to become the Empress; Peter was pockmarked, immature, boorish, lacked common sense, scorned Russia, and adored Prussia (which earned him many detractors). Catherine, neglected by Peter, studied politics and philosophy while gaining allies for herself. In 1762, she led a coup d'état against Peter, who had become Emperor and was thoroughly disdained.
With Peter out of the way, Catherine set to work on improving and modernizing Russia. Under her, the empire expanded, improved administration, and was revitalized with her humanitarian ideals, although she was ruthless when threatened.
In July 1796, she suffered a stroke in her powder room and died in bed the following day.

Catherine the Great, while known for her romances, did not die during intercourse with a stallion; the French made this up to discredit a woman of power.
While Catherine had twelve lovers in her lifetime, this was tame for an aristocrat of that time.
The great love of Catherine's life was Prince Grigory Potemkin (1739-1791); he was her military leader and her equal intellectually, politically, and socially. She called him "My Tiger", "My Cossack", "My Golden Pheasant".

Get the Catherine the Great mug.The masculine form of the Spanish/Portuguese word puta ("whore"/"slut"/"bitch"). "Puto" can apply to gay males in some places or simply to any male who is sexually loose (some males are sexually loose, some aren't; sexuality has little to do with it).
