Subjudater

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: sub joo day ter

Sentence: Francine was definitely a subjudater when it came to men. She would chase them until they caught her and then like a superpower invading a weaker country, she would overthrow their free will and declare them as one of her possessions.

Once she had captured them, she would raid their treasuries, embargo their contact with other females and enjoy watching them shrivel into spineless, needy lovesick shells. Once the thrill of the hunt faded for her, she would move on and go in pursuit of new territories to conquer. Yes, Francine was Plunder Woman; one of the Pillage People; A Raidy Lady; A Booty School Dropout;A Cuter Looter; The Liking Viking; Felon of Troy;A Brigand Teen; An In-laws Outlaw; A Raidin' Maiden; A Passion Pirate Queen...Just lock up your menfolk!

Etymology: subjugate(make subservient; force to submit or subdue or bring under bondage)& subdue(suppress or hold within limits and control)& dater (a person who has a steady social or love relationship with another)
