an insult that Amish people use to describe out of wedlock children or children with English blood
The way Amish people think out of wedlock children bearing black marks because of their parents' sin of having premarital sex, they act like the parents should have aborted them when their mothers got pregnant with them from the sexual intercourse the parents had. Like anti abortionists say "It's not the children's faults that their parents had sex before they were married".
Sudden Infantile Dumbass Syndrome. Occurs when an adult baby is placed in time out and loses a toy and he tries to get it unsuccessfully, and he gets hurt or dies because of it
When Barnaby was placed in time out, he discovered that he had lost his teddy bear. As he reached out of his adult-sized crib to get it, the crib closed on his neck crushing it. He had died suddenly of SIDS. He should have waited for his wife to come back after he had cooled off from his tantrum.

A circus that displays people with abnormal or unusual oddities. Examples of such people include bearded women, Siamese twins, or in the case of The Saga of Darren Shan, a woman who can bite through steel, a man with two bellies, a vampire and his spider, a snake boy, a man who is afraid of the ground, a monkey girl, et al. Legal back before television was invented.
A freak show back in those times had evil con men rounding up people who had physical deformities, putting them in cages, paying the public to stare at them and forcing them to perform insane tricks that could hurt or kill normal people who imitated them. The people who saw these freak shows were just as disturbed as the people who ran them. These shows are now illegal because of the abusive nature, and the discrimination these performers faced because the public were conned into thinking that they were freaks, which meant that they were misunderstood by those who realized that they were entirely normal and that the real freaks were the people who ran these human circuses. Although there are exceptions like American Horror Story: Freak Show, and Cirque du Freak where there would be actual freaks running the shows, these were in the minority. Today, there might be shows like this which we call reality television, which displays people like Abby and Brittany, who would have qualified to be in a freak show if they were around when those things were legal. They are scary depending on the acts that are performing.

someone who is dedicated to something even much more so than a hardcore fan If it is a musician that is a different gender than the fan, they will open the window whenever the musician/band's music plays because they think the musician/band member is hot. If it's an actor or actress, then they will own every movie or television show the actor/actress stars in and watch every episode or movie the day it comes out. If it's an athlete, then the definitions that have defined superfan will apply. If it's a politician or radio personality, then they will listen to said politician/radio personality's shows every day.
Brad: "I don't understand why Karen opens the window whenever Nickelback's songs come on the radio. They're not as great as she says they are. She does it in the middle of winter, and I had to tell her to close it because I was cold".
Jason: "Karen's a superfan, Brad. She thinks Chad Kroeger, the singer, is hot, although I've heard nothing but negativity about him".
Brad: "She's not a teenybopper, is she?"
Jason: "No, she likes their music, too".

A person who lives in Cape Cod, Massachusetts who thinks they are better than everyone else if they traced their lineage back to the Pilgrims. They will look down on others who don't do such a thing.
Olivia and Jacob are such Cod snobs. Just how would I have been able to turn down the advances of boys who feigned interest in me if I had relatives like them who thought I should only be dating fellow blue bloods they approved of? It's no wonder why Belinda, Chester, Haille, and Laura defined their stuffy rules. Haille is the only one of them who defied their stuffy rules and lived to tell about it, while the others later died.

a person who stays inside all day when there is a snowstorm outside because their hypocritical house staff says it's too dangerous to go out in the community yet the staff has to come to work in the slop, even though they have other family members that may not work in the education field that have to go to work in it
My roommates are cream puffs. They think that they have to stay at home all day because of a stupid snowstorm. I tell them to be rebels, but they think it's too dangerous to go out there. I have gone out in snowstorms before I moved into my current house, and I returned home alive.
