Nectar of the Gods! The Norse God Odin's favorite drink. Mead predates both wine, beer, liqueur and all distilled beverages; it is in a class of itâs own. It's made from fermented honey, water and yeast. It can be light or rich, sweet or dry, or even sparkling. It may be flavored with herbs, spices and flowers.
It is not a wine as it does not contain grapes, and white wines flavored with honey are just cheap imitations of the real thing and often have much lower alcohol content then real mead. Genuine mead is smooth and highly intoxicating.
I was very dissapointed that the bar was serving honey-flavored white wine as mead.

Someone (can be male or female) who is interested in exploring sex with a memeber of their own gender but who either hasn't gotten around to it yet or the thought isn't a raging priority. Often used by people who are unsure whether or not they are bisexual, homosexual or hetrosexual.

The name given to large black birds, who look similar to crows but are larger and more solitary. Corvus Corax. Often associated with healing, magic, successful hunting, death, and mischief. Considered to be messengers between the living and the other world. Honored by almost all human societies. Ravens are considered among the most intelligent of all birds; they can learn to imitate a variety of sounds, including the human voice. Ravens are scavengers and will eat just about anything that is dead; but they will also hunt for mice, lizards, small birds, snakes, insects, and berries.
They are mentioned in many mythologies, both in North America and in Europe. Among the Native Americans, Raven is a creator and trickster god. In Norse mythology, Odinâs two Ravens Thought and Memory are divine spies so to speak. They are mentioned in many poems and novels, perhaps the most famous is Edgar Allan Poeâs Nevermore.
Ravens are amazingly beautiful and graceful flyers, maneuvering effortlessly in the sky, whirling and twirling and gliding through the air, riding updrafts with ease.
"Though the birds have a wide variety of sounds and calls they may not be willing to divulge their secrets to us." Quote the raven? Aaarrck!
Nevermore!

Something that is viewed as forbidden by societyâs standards and therefore is rarely talked about openly. Some are less taboo then they were in the past and some are more then ever taboo. And while most have to do with sex, some taboos have to do with food, and others beliefs, and all of them will bring a conversation to a dead stop if you bring them up because these are all things most people do not what to talk about.
Exampleâs of modern day tabooâs: cannibalism; incest; pedophilia; necrophilia; bestiality; miscegenation; adultery; nudity; masturbation; homosexuality; bisexuality; anal sex; having a fetish;BDSM; pornography; rape; suicide; drug addiction; divorce; depression; death; AIDs; cancer; racism; eating dogs, cats, horses and other pets; eating insects such as weevils and maggots; drinking blood; using certain four letter words; menstruation; religion; oneâs political views, and how much money you make.
Some taboos are meant to be broken, other's are best just left alone!
When Kira tried making the conversation more interesing by mentioning some taboo subjects, silence fell and the others quickly changed the subject to real estate.
