Example Sentences
- "On a daily basis I consume enough drugs to sedate Manhattan, Long Island, and Queens for a month.

Well, because it's awesome."
- "Hef was the grinning pimp of the sexual revolution, with quaaludes for the ladies and Viagra for himself — a father of smut addictions and eating disorders, abortions and divorce and syphilis, a pretentious huckster who published Updike stories no one read while doing flesh procurement for celebrities, a revolutionary whose revolution chiefly benefited men much like himself."
