"While in Frankfurt (appropriately), I once asked a German storekeeper for a 'heißer Hund'- literally 'a hot dog.' He burst out laughing, as 'heißer Hund' in German suggests a dog in heat." -Richard Lederer
You see, "hot dog" literally means a dog that is hot, and taken figuratively can mean a frothingly horny canine.

Get the hot dog mug.(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.

Get the ingenue mug.A viscious crime in which somebody forces somebody else into having sex, entirely without the other person's consent.
Rape is not erotic at all and it is not about sexual pleasure; rape is about power and control over another.
Usually, rape is reported as a man raping a woman; men who rape often have sex quite often and/or have a sexual dysfunction. In the case of the dysfunction, he could be taking out his frustration by rape.
Other times, men feel threatened by women and their rising status and want women back where they were, so they attack women, wanting to hurt them, embarrass them, and frighten them. This case is especially true in places where traditional gender roles are rigid and where the "ideal" male is aggressive, unfeeling, and strong.
Women, on the other hand, are totally capable of raping men. A common way that they do so is to blackmail men into sex with them.
And men can rape other men and women can rape other women just as easily as heterosexuals can rape the opposite gender.
Rapists often threaten their victims too if they try to report the rape, so many rapes are not not mentioned until much later. And who knows where the rapist has been? The victim could become infected with an STI or become pregnant because of the attack.

Rape is not all right. Rape is not erotic; it's terrifying! Sexual assault takes a lifetime to cope with; such severe things are not anything that one can just "get over". And the sentence for rapists is too short! Two years in the slammer and then they're free (to rape) again?!
Oh, and when a lady says "No!", she means "No!"
Do your best to escape rape if you can: scream for help, bite them, scratch them, punch them, hit her in the breasts, kick him in the crotch, stomp on their feet, punch them in the gut, kick them in the shins, do whatever you can to get away from them. Take a self-defense class if you don't feel that you can fight.
Remember: rape is not the victim's fault; it's the rapist's fault and the rapist's problem. They're the ones who need punishment. The victim did not "ask for it".

Get the rape mug.A somewhat obnoxious way to refer to a young woman; if she were a "young girl" then she wouldn't be much older than seven years of age. Just use "girl" or "maiden" or "young woman" to refer to a woman who is clearly older than twelve years of age; "young girl" and "young maiden" suggest an underage girl.
From "Rent".
"He had the world at his feet
Glory
In the eyes of a young girl
A young girl...
One song
A song about love
Glory
From the soul of a young man
A young man..."
A "young girl" with a "young man"? Isn't that concidered child molestation?

Get the young girl 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.
