(July 11, 1653 – July 19, 1692), Sarah Good was one of the first three people accused of witchcraft during the Salem Witch Trials, along with Tituba and Sarah Osborne.
Born in Salem Village, Sarah was one of the the first people that nine-year-old Betty Parris and eleven-year-old Abigail Williams accused of witchcraft. The accusation was not difficult to believe; Sarah was irritable and a beggar. Sarah was only 38, but she looked much older from living in the streets. She angered easily and walked away muttering when neighbors denied her food and shelter, her muttering interpreted as curses, made all the worse since she didn't go to church.
Sarah denied the charges against her, but her status as an outcast and the histrionics displayed by the "bewitched" girls sealed her fate. Her estranged husband also bore witness against her, and their little daughter, Dorothy "Dorcas" Good, was also frightened into testifying.
Sarah was sentenced to death, despite her pregnancy. After seven months in a dank, dirty prison she gave birth to a baby girl who died within days.

Four-year-old Dorothy Good testified that her mother, Sarah Good, had taught her witchcraft. Dorothy had been bullied into saying it, and she also probably did so to be with her mother in jail. Dorothy survived, but she had witnessed guards taking her mother to execution and she was traumatized for life.
Sarah Good cursed the hanging judge, Nicholas Noyes, before she was hanged, "You're a liar! I am no more a witch than you are a wizard, and if you take away my life God will give you blood to drink!"
Noyes died twenty years later, choking on his own blood.

9. Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes.
Narcissistic personality disorder often manifests in corporate CEOs, politicians (like Kim-Jong Il, Stalin, Saddam Hussein, etc.), cult leaders (like Jim Jones, David Berg, Warren Jeffs, Joseph Smith, etc), corrupt authorities, corrupt clergy or religious leaders, criminals (like Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Gertrude Baniszewski, Diane Downs, etc), celebrities (like Rush Limbaugh, OJ Simpson, Donald Trump, etc.) among others.
Personality disorders usually overlap and the narcissist shares many traits with the paranoid, histrionic and antisocial personalities: the paranoid and the narcissist are both often irrationally suspicious and distrustful but the paranoid acts in self-defense while narcissists fear any exposure of their failures and flaws; the histrionic and narcissist both want to be the centre of attention, but the histrionic is usually playful, dependent, is more exaggerated in emotional display, and craves *any* attention (good or bad) while the narcissist is haughty, exploits others, and will only accept admiration; the antisocial personality and the narcissist are both ruthless, glib manipulators who ruin lives but the antisocial personality does not need excessive admiration, is deceptive, impulsive, aggressive, and degrades and manipulates others for profit or pleasure while narcissists publicly disparage others, think of their futures, and bully others to bolster their own egos.

Get the narcissistic personality disorder mug.The female of the human race, the one who gives birth to the offspring of humans. Usually seen as the fairer sex, the aesthetic sex, the nurturing/emotive sex.
She is equal in about every way to men, save for some physical differences. She is just as intelligent and capable as the male... but men often overwhelm, harass, and dominate the ladies.

The woman are as capable and as intelligent as the man, if not more so... men just have a difficult time understanding and accepting that.

1. The earthy smell of freshly-turned topsoil brought back memories from my childhood on the farm.
2. The earthy rural town and the forest behind it were refreshing after life in the city.
3. The Nuer of Sudan are very earthy regarding infertile women; the barren woman in question becomes recognized as a man and an heir to her father's line, is married to a woman, and a sperm donor contributes his share, with the barren woman recognized as the father of the children.

Get the earthy mug.A person (usually a woman) who sells his/her body to be used for lewd acts by (often crazy) strangers for money (or other forms of payment). In other words: fucking/sexual acts for money; prostitution is only about the money, not about sexual pleasure.
Prostitutes (especially the lowly streetwalker) are often targets for rapists, murderers, and other criminals since they make themselves especially vulnerable to attack. Their managers, known as pimps, are often abusive to prostitutes and are known to exploit them.

Many women (mothers included) who are in economic trouble often have little choice but to prostitute themselves as a sure way to support themselves.
I would say that Ann Coulter is a prostitute, but that's putting it too lightly for that bitch.

Get the prostitute mug.Another living version of the "dumb blonde" stereotype. Except this little harlot seems to think that she can sing and act and that she's a beauty...
au contraire, mon cherie: she sounds like she's inhaled helium (not a good thing), she acts about as well as a one legged dog trying to cross a busy street, and she wears enough makeup to supply Detroit... with or without makeup, she's almost always frightening to look at. And let's not get started on her overly-perky personality.
And immature? Yes. She started feuds with Lindsay Lohan and Avril Lavigne, and for what? Something minor.
And her mother has about as much maturity as her, and even partakes in the feuds! Even accusing Lindsay of vandalising Hilary's car when Lindsay was out of the country?! Puh-lease, Hilary and her mother need a good smack in the face.

Get the hilary duff mug.In opera and classical music, all six voice categories (soprano, mezzo-soprano, contralto, tenor, baritone, bass) have at least two subtypes with them, "lyric" and "dramatic" voices, which describe "vocal weight"; where a "lyric voice" is light, brighter, smoother, agile, and sweet, a "dramatic voice" is heavy, powerful, darker, richer, and often metallic in quality.
A dramatic voice is just that: powerful, substantial, edgy, vigorous, and heavy with emotion. The weight of the voice affects agility, but it allows them to sing over a full orchestra with little trouble. These are the singers who are imagined blasting the walls from buildings with the sheer power of their voices.

The weight of the voice affects agility, but it allows them to sing over a full orchestra with little trouble. These are the singers who are imagined blasting the walls from buildings with the sheer power of their voices.
Since pop singers generally don't use the breath support and projection that opera singers are trained to use, few voices in pop music can be described as a "lyric voice" or "dramatic voice".
The closest approximations of dramatic voices in popular music (since popular music training follows a very different set of rules) could include:
Dramatic sopranos: Patti LaBelle, Monica Naranjo, Cissy Houston, Kyla la Grange, Lorraine Ellison, Kate Bush, Jill Scott, Floor Jansen, Mina, Sohyang, and Martha Wash.
Dramatic Mezzo-sopranos: Anastacia, Patti LuPone, Carol Burnett, Dusty Springfield, Ruthie Henshall, Ethel Merman, Allison Crowe, Janis Joplin, Sinéad O'Connor, Joss Stone, and Aretha Franklin.
Dramatic Contraltos: Lisa Gerrard, Tina Turner, Ana Carolina, Florence Welch, and Ruth Pointer
Dramatic Tenors: Alejandro Fernandez, Vicente Fernandez, Luis Miguel, Clay Aiken, Michael Ball, John Owen-Jones, Thomas Vikström, Erik Santos, and Alessandro Safina
Dramatic Baritones: Rick Astley, Philip Quast, George Hearn, Michael Cervaris, Josh Groban, Tom Jones, David Lee Roth, and Al Green
Dramatic Basses: Isaac Hayes, William Warfield, Thurl Ravenscroft, and Paul Robeson
