Lorelili's definitions
Noun. Born in London in 1934. The woman who would devote her life not only to studying the chimpanzees of Gombe, Tanzania, but also to opening people's eyes to the fact that animals, too, have feelings and personalities. She thought nothing of giving names to the animals that she studied, something that was unheard of in her day. She observed the roots of what we would call "evil" in the chimps, as well as the love and affection that chimps have for their families and friends.
Known for her passionate but gentle style of activism and for her optimistic view of life, showing that we can all make a difference... because of this, her proper title would be "Our Lady of Hope".

Appreciative of the beauty and harmony of the natural world and of the animals, and determined to protect them, Jane Goodall is a true inspiration.

Get the Jane Goodallmug. Scottish Gaelic term referring to a slapper, a total slut. Not to be confused with "leòdag", which simply means "a flirt".
Chan dh'atharraich a smadan a-chaoidh leòghann-craoibhe agus chan dh'atharraich leodag mar thu a dòigh le fir a-chaoidh!
(A leopard never changes its spots and a slapper like you never changes her way with men!)

Mainly relating to the culture, language, and society of the Celts. "Celt" apparantly came from the Greek term for "Secret People", since little was known of them, and still not very much is. Genereally known to be a tall race of people, their coloring ranged from dark-eyed and dark-haired to blue-eyed and fair-haired.
Having conquered most of Europe, and even terrorizing Rome itself at one point, this viscious race was highly advanced. Ironmaking, womyn having the same status of men, going nude into battle to discomfort the enemies.
Still, for all of their adavancements, their languages had become so varied that they could no longer understand each other. When the German peoples attacked and defeated Rome, they also defeated the Celts...
Only In Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, the Isle of Man, and Brittany, France do the Celts survive.

O chionn fhada, chaill sinn ar daoine, ach tha mi a' faireachdainn an teine nam Gàidheil. Rathadeigin, mairidh mo chànan beò... 's e linn òrdha a bha sin.

Get the Celticmug. Of or relating to the Gaels, or the ancient Celtic peoples of Ireland(Éireann), Scotland(Alba), and the Isle of Man(Ellan Vannin) in Britain.
It especially refers to their languages: Irish Gaelic(Gaeilge), the most prominent, and her sister languages; Manx Gaelic(Gaelg); and (Scottish) Gaelic(Gàidhlig). Their cousin languages from the Brythonic Celtic languages are Welsh(Cymraeg), Cornish(Kernowek), and Breton(Breizh). All of them possess trilling r's, hard-only c's and g's, gutterals, and soft sounds also. All are poetic, musical, beautiful languages, often sounding very Tolkienesque.
The languages are now fragile after centuries of prejudice from the English. Still interest in them has risen in and around their homelands.

"'S e dùthaich gun anam a th'ann dùthaich gun cànan"?
Gu fìor; tha h-uile rud an-seo airson adhbhar. Gun e/i, marbhaidh 'n iomadachd na t-saoghail seo bìdeag is bìdeag. 'S e cànan àlainn A th'anns a' Ghàidhlig... bu lugha orm e fhaicinn dhol.
Cho fad is bhitheadh na Ceiltich cànanan beò, agus tha ùidh againn orra, bidh ann ronn na dòchais dhaibh.
("A country without a language is a country without a soul"?
Truly; everything is here for a reason. Without it, the diversity of this world will die piece by piece. It is a lovely language that Gaelic is... I would hate to see it go.
As long as the Celtic languages are alive, and we are interested in them, there will be some hope for them.)

Get the gaelicmug. When Puffs Tissues began marketing to Germany, they did not find out until it was too late that "puff" is colloquial slang for a whorehouse.

Get the puffmug. A pathetic excuse for a human, much less for an aristocrat. A scrawny, towheaded, false-tanned, attention-grabbing imbecile who defecates all over her dignity in order to be noticed.
A vapid run-of-the mill dyed-blonde bimbo who can't even speak her own language properly, is famous simply for her family's money and for her sex-life (as well as for her so-called "beauty"), has not done a thing to earn her fame and does not deserve a penny of her fortune.
A failed abortion/miscarriage who gulps and bathes in the semen of the pitifully desperate males who find her attractive enough to screw, has no respect for herself (much less for those of lower social status), is an absolute redneck, and can insert a redwood log into her gaping vagina.

And those who claim that Paris Hilton's detractors are "gelous/jalous/jellous" (the correct spelling being "jealous"), what is there to be jealous of? This mooching slut has money and "fame", yes, but where is her talent? Where is her dignity? Where is her intellect? She has none of these.

Get the paris hiltonmug. An ancient warrior queen of the Iceni, a Celtic tribe in Britain during the time of Emperor Nero. When her husband died, the Romans ignored his will, which stated that his daughters and Rome were to rule his kingdom jointly; Boudica was flogged while her daughters were raped. Infuriated, Boudica rallied her people and neighboring tribes in a violent campaign against Roman occupation.
Boudica's people sacked many Roman forts, including London and Colchester, slaughtering their inhabitants and sending the survivors running... until Suetonius regrouped his army in the Midlands and defeated the indigenous army. Boudica poisoned herself to avoid capture.

Boudica, refusing to let her Roman attackers wrong not only herself and her daughters but their people, showed the Roman Empire that women could kick ass as well as any man.
