    Good Side: The side of your body where a photograph should show none of your flaws. To believe that you actually have such a side is the epitome of mental illness

    Catamaran - 1) wind aided multi-hulled water vehicle that can be very swift sometimes, e.g. with the sails not dragging in the water
    2) What cats do when threatened with water or other stimuli (past-tense)

    Rake: 1) Implement of the devil created to cause human suffering by using it on the leaves every fall. 2) Male person of dubious character who seems to get lucky with a lot of women

    Mental Illness: 1) Not to be confused with metal illness (speed metal/heavy metal/head-banging/other, or rust [as intimated earlier]): Something nearly everyone has to a degree, but rarely admitted, treated, or cured. Mental illness is a two edge sword that may drive creativity or bring one to paralysis... or worst http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/...tm_source=digg . 2) One of the most lucrative revenue streams that monopolistic drug tzars depend on.

    Cleavage: A demarcation between two things that is exaggerated and clearly visible so that the things themselves can be left to the viewer’s perverted imagination.
