I believe humans as a whole are willing to do anything and everything in every possible way.
Romance fans will tell you the French language is the adoration of beauty.
The British will tell you that the french taste for beauty is the same as their taste for cheese: it stinks.
Thanks. I was too lazy to check for myself.
You are in fact correct. It's not a Muslim party, just the opposition trying to rile up the governing party.
You sure? I believe I remember there being a story about a halfling or a gnome drinking an enlarge potion or two to get hot and sweaty with some giantess.
A more unbiased title would have been "Hindu nationalists and Muslim nationalists in India fight each other by renaming lions to offend the other side."
Thank you kindly. Sadly I cannot. Yesterday I was on a trip and happened to pass through one such location, which is why I can talk about it now.
The folk tale was that some Polish cartographers were mapping the area and asked some locals where they were. The locals shrugged and answered in their language a variant of "Fuck knows". The cartographers took it to heart and the official name of that location on their map became a slightly altered variation of that joking reply.
Naturally later on, a copy of that map was used by the government in charge for census and the name remained sealed in stone.
Case by case scenario. Man vs woman is simplest one. One gives the fuck, the other takes the fuck. Hence why gay men that took it were seen as less than equal to other men. And why men were seen as providers.
Some jobs were only done by men so only a noun for men was associated. Same for women.
Some biological functions were named after astral phenomenons, like menstruation.
Some locations and names were popularized through misunderstandings and mistranslation, like turkey - which has a different country name depending on where you are.
Or the more common ones are things like "Fuck knows", "nowhere's arsehole", "between your mom's legs", "my goat's testicles", "where my cow shits", "the middle between fuck off and kiss my ass" etc.
There is no real rhyme or reason. Each word has its own origin and they can all be very far apart from the intentions of their creators. Nor could those creators know the evolution of their choice in verbalizing some ideas the way they did.
Very unique was originally an insult veiled as an unintentionally incorrect usage of the expression. The hidden meaning could be explained as "I think it's retarded but I don't want to say that in public."

As for Jealous vs Envious. Are you sure it isn't merely your perception that's mistaking the use?
I know I tend to confuse the two because one wants something that resembles what you have and the other wants what you have directly.
So the perception of those involved can mix up the two concepts in this regard.
The middle is decided by the average life expectancy in your country divided by half.
For example in the US, with all the school shootings, I'd say most people already missed theirs by several decades.
Silly. Prison shanks mix paper and plastic with poop, not just poop alone.
