By definition of concubine, sure, but consensual is a far cry for most. I'm trying to remember the exact quote, but I'll paraphrase it here: 'In slave-owning societies, the vast majority of concubines were slaves.' https://archive.org/details/historicaldictio0000klei for the source.

I thought ice cream (and a lot of other thing in the ads) was usually mashed potatoes.

It's an old term for a pleasure slave.

'Demonrats' is usually what I hear, and it's about as far from clever as Albuquerque is from India.

Nobody touches my cello. The last person who did staved in the side.

Okay, when did mansplaining change from overexplaining something simple because the listener isn't a man to just explaining things in a horrendously incorrect manner?

This isn't mansplaining, this is just being a massive christian dumbass.

It's actually going to be great for you. When I was still more interested in eye surgeries, there was a special substance that was used on the patient to keep the eyes open. It's still in some hospitals. What is it? Near-100% pure cocaine, baby!

spoilerMild disclaimer: the eye surgeries we're talking about are completely different than the eyeball-scraping kind.

You should know what category you fall into... It's not like getting banned and going somewhere else is an event chain you wouldn't know about.

The peroxide didn't work for me once the wax became impacted. Maybe if I had repeated it several times in the course of a day, but it was easier to just repeat the trip to the doctor to have them get it out. Losing your hearing absolutely sucks, and I didn't want to delay getting it back.

I don't know, man, I think I could last an hour, maybe even two, before all the skin fell off. Even with the best lube, you're gonna do some damage for 720 hours straight.

Those two in particular are in Beaumont, a particularly ass-backwards area of the state. One of its satellite cities, Vidor, is talked about even in Texas as being vitriolic in their racism. I've also been inside both of those hospitals' emergency rooms, and wouldn't want to be there if my life depended on it.
