Spoonerism
A spoonerism is an occurrence in speech in which corresponding consonants, vowels, or morphemes are switched (see metathesis) between two words in a phrase. These are named after the Oxford don and ordained minister William Archibald Spooner, who reputedly did this. They were already renowned by the author François Rabelais in the 16th century, and called . In his novel ''Pantagruel'', he wrote ("insane woman at mass, woman with flabby buttocks"). An example is saying "The Lord is a shoving leopard" instead of "The Lord is a loving shepherd" or "runny babbit" instead of "bunny rabbit." While spoonerisms are commonly heard as slips of the tongue, they can also be used intentionally as a play on words. Etymology Spoonerisms are named after the Reverend William Archibald Spooner (1844–1930), Warden from 1903 to 1924 of New College, Oxford, who was notoriously prone to this mistake. The Oxford English Dictionary records the word as early as 1900. The term ''spoonerism'' w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Our Little Secret
''Our Little Secret'' is the third studio album from Belgian electronic band Lords of Acid. It was released in 1997 on Antler-Subway Records. Both musically and lyrically, Lords of Acid maintain the industrial music and sexually charged songs found on their previous album '' Voodoo-U''. Lead vocal duties on ''Our Little Secret'' were performed by Jade 4 U. The front CD cover is a photo of a woman from the waist up, while the unfolded CD cover booklet is the completed full-body photograph which reveals an outline of a penis in her blue jeans. Displaying the band's trademark tongue-in-cheek humor, the back cover of the album presented ''Our Little Secret'' as a live recording of a classical music concert, as presented by "The Lords of Acid Orchestra". The song titles are presented with faux, intentionally pretentious parentheticals pertaining to classical pieces. ''Our Little Secret'' was the first Lords of Acid album to hit the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200, peaking at number 100. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lust (Lords Of Acid Album)
''Lust'' is the debut album by Belgian new beat band Lords of Acid, released in 1991. The band had released several 12-inch singles prior to their full-length debut, and these songs ("I Sit on Acid" and "Hey Ho!") were already dance club hits. Continuing with their outrageous sexually-explicit, always tongue-in-cheek, often humorous lyrical themes, ''Lust'' had earned positive reviews from music critics, both in and out of the dance music community. As the album's title implies, the tracks touch upon various sexually-related topics, including sadism and masochism ("Rough Sex"), breast size ("I Must Increase My Bust"), sex with aliens ("Spacy Bitch") and oral and anal sex ("I Sit on Acid", whose entire lyrical content consists of the chant "I wanna sit on your face"). "The Most Wonderful Girl", an ode to self-love and masturbation, also appeared on the soundtrack to the film '' Sliver''. The track "Hey Ho!" originally contained a sample of "Heigh-Ho" from the 1937 Walt D ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hedonism
Hedonism refers to a family of theories, all of which have in common that pleasure plays a central role in them. ''Psychological'' or ''motivational hedonism'' claims that human behavior is determined by desires to increase pleasure and to decrease pain. ''Normative'' or ''ethical hedonism'', on the other hand, is not about how we actually act but how we ought to act: we should pursue pleasure and avoid pain. ''Axiological hedonism'', which is sometimes treated as a part of ethical hedonism, is the thesis that only pleasure has intrinsic value. Applied to well-being or what is good for someone, it is the thesis that pleasure and suffering are the only components of well-being. These technical definitions of hedonism within philosophy, which are usually seen as respectable schools of thought, have to be distinguished from how the term is used in everyday language, sometimes referred to as "folk hedonism". In this sense, it has a negative connotation, linked to the egoistic pursuit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
