    Angel: Human figure with wings, despite this description of angels being nowhere in the KJB. There are flying creatures, seraphim for example have six wings; cherubim; is a winged angelic being described as a lion or bull with eagles' wings and a human face, and the creatures described by such people as Ezekiel, Daniel, and St John on Patmos in Revelations. No human with wings. Hummmm...

    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    This confirms that Paul McCartney isn't human.

    Gargoyle: To talk like Popeye's girlfriend through liquid held in your mouth. Should only be attempted by professionals.

    Extra Virgin: An impossibility, as virginity can only be lost once. There is no take back. This is a culinary term used to make non-chefs feel like Gordon Ramsey...
