bard

From the Gaelic "bàrd". A poet, musician, and entertainer. Also called a "minstrel" in some circles. Known through Latin as a "troubadour".
Strumming his lute, the bard sang of a tragic hero's love for a fair maiden, inciting fawning from the ladies of the court.

fuck

A highly versatile word in the English language.

Mistakenly thought to have come from an acronym "Fornication Under Consent of the King", the word most likely of native English origin, and is almost certainly of Germanic origin; Middle Dutch fokken (to thrust, copulate, or to breed), dialectical Norwegian fukka (to copulate), and dialectical Swedish focka (to strike, copulate) and fock (penis).

The word originally meant "to strike", "to thrust". Possibly becoming a euphamism for an older verb meaning "to copulate/breed" (likely from hyebh-; Sanskrit (yabhati) and the Slavic languages (Russian yebat`, Polish jebac)), the term took on the current meaning "to copulate".

The verb also means "to put into an impossible situation" in today's world ("You fucked us up!"), or as high praise ("fuckin' awesome!")

Even still, "fuck" is used as an expression of hate ("Fuck you!"), despite that copulation is really a pleasurable thing.

homoerotica

A form of erotica (sensual romantic situations) that occurs between people of the same sex, especially in the case of a same-sex couple. Homoerotica can be used to refer to lesbian or gay male erotica, but it usually refers to gay male erotic situations.
Homoerotica:

Jonathan's breath was taken away as he looked at David's naked body. The rosiness of his fair skin, the taut, pink buds that adorned his bosom, his supple haunches trembling sensually, and the softness of his sex between his thighs, Jonathan gasped with desire and love as he embraced his beloved. David almost sobbed with joy as he rested his face against Jonathan's shoulder, savoring the soft thicket of hair on his lover's breast.

madame

From the French "Ma dame" ("my lady"), a respectful title for a woman of high social status.

Not the same thing as a madam, a woman who runs a brothel; a madam is something quite different from madame.

("What upsets you, my lady?")

contempt

1. A feeling or attitude that somebody or something is vile, inferior, or worthless; scorn or disdain.

2. In law, the display of disrespect or defiance of authority.
Lydia looked at her leech of a boyfriend in contempt; he'd lost his job, had no prospects, and begged her to quit her job at the club. She refused and told him to drop dead.

Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann and her husband have earned the contempt of much of the United States; even Santorum has taken on a new meaning.

The wife-battering husband arrogantly flirted with female jurors, showing contempt to the court.

The Burning Times

A period of early modern European history (spanning from the 1400s to the middle 1600s) during which there was an increased paranoia and thus hysteria that there were witches practicing forms of vice to harm the people... and these "witches" were thus tried and executed for it.

Contrary to many pagan sources, the death toll of nine million people, almost exclusively women, who were trying to keep their indigenous pre-Christian religions alive, is about as real as the Blair Witch Project; records show that somewhere between 50,000 and 300,000 people were tried (and about 48% of them executed) on charges of witchcraft.

The loss of nine million people would severely have crippled society. And those tried and executed were, by and large, Christians who asked for God to save them; anybody with strange quirks, liberal views, red hair, suspicious skin marks (freckles, birthmarks, moles, warts, etc), animal companions, or some difference that called attention, you were suspect. You were especially vulnerable if you were a woman, but roughly 25% of the victims were men (virtually all of Iceland's accused were men).

And many countries were virtually untouched by the this frenzy; Ireland saw only four "witches" executed while Russia saw ten executions; Germany, Switzerland, and eastern France saw the most hysteria.
The second most popular book of the Burning Times (after the Bible) was the Malleus Maleficarum ("The Witch's Hammer"), an absolutely humorless and misogynistic guide to "finding witches".

Southwestern Germany saw the worst of the Burning Times; Wurzburg saw several hundred executed through the late 1620s, including several priests and a number of children.

There were allegedly towns, largely in Germany, where there were no women left after the Inquisitors came through.
