Albert Fish

One of the most disturbing serial killers in history. This seemingly harmless, grandfatherly old man was a deranged child rapist and cannibal.
He was one of very few sadomasochistic serial killers and enjoyed receiving pain as much as inflicting it. He was also a religious zealot.

He attacked and raped numerous children and bragged that he'd "had children in every state". Most of his victims were handicapped or black children, easy targets.
He was convicted of torturing and murdering four-year-old Billy Gaffney and ten-year-old Grace Budd, both of whom he cannibalized. He was connected to three other murders and hundreds of rapes.
His downfall began when he sent a letter to Grace Budd's grieving parents, bragging about what he did to Gracie.
Albert Fish: noun, a psychopathic pervert who likes torturing, raping and murdering children and then eating their flesh. A flesh-and-blood embodiment of fairy tale monsters, a la "Hansel and Gretel"; a seemingly kind, benevolent elder who offers a child candy and turns out to be a cannibal.

In short, a legitimate reason for children not to talk to strangers.

marriageable

Of an age suitable for marriage, especially used to refer to a woman at the beginning of her childbearing years; nubile.
For most of recorded history in Asia, Africa, and Europe, men could be considered marriageable at 14 years and women at 12 years, although usually both parties had to be physically mature enough to consummate the marriage.

The bride is usually between 12-25 years of age, traditionally; depending on where and when the setting is, a bride 18 years of age can be seen as too young, too old, or perfectly marriageable; Ancient Greeks and Ancient Romans and Ancient Hebrews, like much of Africa and South Asia today, wanted to marry their daughters off before she gave into physical temptation and had sex before she was married. Vikings, on the other hand, preferred a bride closer to age 20, in full bloom.
The groom, on the other hand, can be any age from a few years younger than the bride to roughly her age to at least a decade older than her.

Until recently, the quinceañera and sweet sixteen parties marked a young woman's entry into adulthood and marriageable age; now that so few women are married that early, both have lost some meaning and degenerated into excess.

tree fiddy

From South Park. In the jargon of Chef's parents, it means three dollars and fifty cents.

Tree-fiddy is usually what personalities such as the Loch Ness Monster want.
Hmmm, so the Loch Ness Monster wanted tree fiddy... maybe that's what alien invadors want! And terrorists! And monsters! And stupid U.S. presidents called George Dubya!

That's it! That's what they want!

hostile

Most of the definitions here are embarrassingly incorrect; hostile means "antagonistic", "contentious", "combative", "unfriendly", "antisocial", "belligerent", "unsympathetic", "scrappy", "quarrelsome", "disagreeable".

Hostile basically means "of or relating to an enemy"; unfriendly or inhospitable. Marked by a feeling of ill will toward somebody.
Casey Anthony's looked like a marble statue as she watched people take the stand, her face a calm mask which barely hid the hostile spoiled brat beneath.

The gangbangers walked the streets of the slum, their faces angry and hostile as they glanced about.

anorexia

Anorexia Nervosa is a severe eating disorder that afflicts primarily young women, although men are also known to suffer from it.

Anorexia (from the Greek a- without; and orexis- appetite) is merely a symptom of Anorexia Nervosa in which the victim feels, largely from poor role-models, that they must become bone-thin in order to be considered attractive or to be accepted. From there, they abolutely refuse to eat, for fear of gaining too much weight and then being unable to lose it; they excercise constantly, trying to flush the fat (or lack, thereof, in most cases) from their bodies.

In some extreme cases, a layer of fur will grow on the sufferer's body to keep him/her warm; because they have lost so much body fat, they can no longer insulate themselves.

Many sufferers even hear a voice in their heads telling them how fat they look (despite the obvious fact that they are sickly and wasted away to almost nothing), thus further discouraging them.
Like depression, anorexia nervosa and bulimia are not things that one can "get over". They are illnesses that require help. And poor role-models from the media, from peers, and from parents make the problem worse.

Barbie would be anorexic if she were a human... she wouldn't even have the 17 to 22% of body fat required to menstruate. If she were human, she'd have to be 7'2'', 130 pounds, and 40-18-33. Hell, she'd have to crawl on all fours just to support her unnatural proportions.

Misinformation: Anorexia was the ancient Greek goddess of withering and starvation.
