Lorelili's definitions
A term for the female genitals, and a highly insulting term (if you're American; many people in Britain and Austrailia actually use it among frends as a term of endearment).
"Pudenda" is used more often and concidered aomewhat less "value-laden", but it's often overlooked that "pudenda" comes from "pudendum", which means "shameful part"; many societies see the vulva as unclean and/or shameful, but there's nothing shameful about the female genitals. "Cunt" is a native English word (and there aren't many of those) It goes back to an Old Germanic stem "kunton".
It may have arose by Grimm's law operating on the Proto-Indo-European root gen/gon = "create, become" seen in gonads, genital, gamete, genetics, gene, or the Proto-Indo-European root gwne/gune = "woman" seen in gynaecology. The prefix 'cu' is one of the oldest word-sounds in recorded language. It is an expression quintessentially associated with femininity, and is the basis of 'cow' ('female animal'), 'queen' ('female monarch'), and, of course, 'cunt' ('female genital'). The word's second most significant influence is the Latin term 'cuneus', meaning 'wedge', from which comes 'cunnus' ('vagina').
Sadly, this ancient word has been abused so much, and has been used against women very often.

Get the panties mug.An overly-used word. The significance and power of this word seems to be forgotten, and it seems to be an excuse to get into someone's panties or a way to describe something that you really like.
Still, love is a force to be reckoned with, for better or worse. Love is an incredibly strong feeling of warmth and tenderness for somebody, a taking of delight in their company. You know that you love somebody when you want the best for them.
And love has no boundaries, however clichéd it is; people love their pets, their friends, their parents, their families, their children, their sweethearts/spouses, whoever they are close to.
And couples consisting of two men or two women happen often. Men can love other men and women can love other women.

Get the love mug.A striped jungle cat, the largest member of the cat family. Endangered. Their natural habitat and food in and around India is decreasing and more than laws to protect them are needed for these undeniably viscious but remarkable creatures.

Tigers might look cute... but a smaller the version, the tabby, is a better way to go as far as pets are concerned.

Get the fear 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
