Bulbul

They are active, noisy, plain-coloured birds that sometimes damage orchards. Originally borrowed from the Arabic bolbol. Frequently mentioned in poetry as a maker or singer of sweet songs.

Chandler

Chandler is a maker or seller of candles, when it entered English in the late 14th Century. It subsequently was associated with outfitters of ships. It earlier referred to a person in charge of lighting a household or monastery, from the Latin candelarius, derived from candela in Arabic.

Chandler

Boys are rarely told that their virginity is a gift, or indeed that their sexuality is about “giving” something to another person – lightly or not. Boys “get laid”, “get lucky”, “get some”. They “take a girl’s virginity”, “take advantage”; if they’re thoughtful, they “take their time”. Boys are not taught to think of themselves or their virginity as something to be offered up, unwrapped and enjoyed.
