Literature | Bottom A ship's bottom is that part which is used for freight or stowage. Goods imported in British bottoms are those which come in our own vessels. Goods imported in foreign bottoms are those which come in foreign ships. A full bottom is where the lower half of the hull is so disposed as to allow large stowage. A sharp bottom is when a ship is capable of speed. At bottom. Radically, fundamentally: as, the young prodigal lived a riotous life, but was good at bottom, or below the surface. At the bottom.

In BDSM, a bottom is a partner who takes the role of slave or victim, submitting to such acts as bondage, flogging, humiliation, or servitude from the top.A bottom is not necessarily submissive, and vice versa. At one end of the continuum is a submissive who enjoys taking orders from a dominant but does not receive any physical stimulation. At the other is a bottom who enjoys the intense physical and psychological stimulation but does not submit to the person delivering them.
It should be noted that the bottom is most often the partner who is giving instructions - the top typically tops when, and in the manner, requested by the bottom.
In order to explore BDSM sex, it is essential to be careful and choose a top who will be responsive to one's needs, feelings, and limits. (See safeword.) Failure to choose a trustworthy top can be very dangerous, and even a trustworthy but overzealous top can inflict severe pain or injury by failing to pay attention to the bottom.
Note that in BDSM sex, it is commonplace for two partners to switch roles from one encounter to the other, depending on mood and preference, a practice known as switching.
The term submissive or sub is more precise than "bottom", since the term "bottom" is also used in vanilla, especially gay, sex to refer to a receptive partner, or as an intransitive verb meaning to have receptive sex with. As above, it is very commonplace for partners to change roles from one encounter to the next or to have both insertive and receptive sex.
Bottoms sometimes identify themselves by wearing a set of keys on the right side of the belt or a color-coded handkerchief in their right rear pocket. This practice, called flagging, began in the gay male subculture but appears to be dying out.
In Japanese bondage and sexually-themed anime and manga (especially yaoi), a bottom is referred to as uke, a term from kabuki.

Bottom was a British sitcom from the early 1990s written by Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson, who are the show's main stars, playing Richard Richard and Eddie Hitler respectively. Richard is a perpetually optimistic dimwit; Eddie is a cheerfully violent dipsomaniac. Their arguments often lead to exaggeratedly violent fight scenes. Richie and Eddie are basically variations on characters the duo had been playing for years; the earlier Filthy, Rich and Catflap had featured a slightly more watered-down version.They also both staged in The Young Ones.
Often considered to be the most violent and profane example of the Britcom genre, the programme ran for three series of six episodes each.
Four live theatre shows have been spun off over the years, the most recent being Bottom 2001: An Arse Oddity. Recordings of all four stage shows have been released on video and DVD.
Another loose (in more ways than one) spin off from the series is the movie Guest House Paradiso, in which Mayall and Edmondson use the big screen as an opportunity to take the "comic" depiction of extreme violence and bodily functions to even greater extremes; the film climaxes with an orgy of projectile vomiting that has to be seen to be disbelieved.
Bottom was broadcast by the Dutch VPRO.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In mathematics, a partial order ≤ on a set X is a binary relation that is reflexive, antisymmetric and transitive, i.e., it holds for all a, b and c in X that:
A set with a partial order on it is called a partially ordered set, poset, or, often, simply an ordered set.
- a ≤ a (reflexivity)
- if a ≤ b and b ≤ c then a ≤ c (transitivity)
- if a ≤ b and b ≤ a then a = b (antisymmetry)
Examples of posets include the integers and real numbers with their ordinary ordering, subsets of a given set ordered by inclusion, strings ordered lexicographically (as in a phone book), and natural numbers ordered by divisibility.
Finite posets are most easily visualized as "Hasse diagrams", that is, graphss where the vertices are the elements of the poset and the ordering relation is indicated by edges and the relative positioning of the vertices. The element x is smaller than y if and only if there exists a path from x to y always going upwards. This can be generalized: any poset can be represented by a directed acyclic graph, where the nodes are the elements of the poset and there is a directed path from a to b if and only if a≤b.
If S is a subset of the poset X, we say that
There can be many maximal elements but at most one largest element of S; if a largest element exists, then it is the unique maximal element of S. Minimal elements, lower bounds and smallest (least, bottom) elements are defined analogously.
- the element m of S is a maximal element of S if the only element s of S with m≤s is s=m.
- the element u of X is an upper bound for S if s≤u for all s in S
- the element l is the largest (or greatest, or top) element in S if l is an upper bound for S and an element of S.
A subset of a partially ordered set inherits a partial order. New partially ordered sets can also be constructed by cartesian products, disjoint unions and other set-theoretic operations. Since the intersection of partial orders on a given set X is again a partial order on X, every relation R on X generates a unique partial order on X, the smallest partial order containing R. Every poset (X,≤) has a unique dual poset (X,≥), where we define a >= b if and only if b ≤ a. Every poset also gives rise to an irreflexive relation <, where a < b if and only if a ≤ b and a ≠ b.
Special cases of partially ordered sets are
A related concept is that of a directed set, where every finite subset has an upper bound. Directed sets are not required to have the antisymmetric property, so they are not necessarily posets.
- totally ordered sets, where for any pair of elements a,b, either a≤b or b≤a. For example the real numbers with the usual order relation ≤ form a totally ordered set. Another name for totally ordered set is "linearly ordered set". A chain is a linearly ordered subset of a poset.
- well-ordered sets, where all non-empty subsets have smallest elements.
- lattices, where any two elements have both a greatest lower bound (infimum) and a least upper bound (supremum). Lattices are considered algebraic structures with the operations "sup" and "inf".
- boolean algebras, which are lattices with additional properties that allow for the definition of a logical negation.
- bounded posets, which have a largest and a smallest element.
A partially ordered set is complete if every one of its subsets has a least upper bound and a greatest lower bound. Various types of complete partially ordered sets are used in, for example, program semantics. The best-known type of complete partially ordered sets are the Scott-Ershov domainss. These structures are important in that they constitute a cartesian closed category and in that they provide a natural theory of approximations. That the class of Scott-Ershov domains is cartesian closed category enables the solution of so-called domain equations, e.g., D = [D -> D], where the right-hand side denotes the space of all continuous functions on D.
Partially ordered sets can be given a topology, for example, the Alexandrov topology, consisting of all upwards closed subsets. A subset U of a partially ordered set is upwards closed if x in U and x ≤ y implies that y belongs to U. For special types of partially ordered sets other topologies may be more interesting. For example, the natural topology on Scott-Ershov domains is the Scott topology.
A poset is locally finite if every closed interval [a, b] in it is finite. Locally finite posets give rise to incidence algebras which in turn can be used to define the Euler characteristic of finite bounded posets.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | HIBERNATE, v.i. To pass the winter season in domestic seclusion. There have been many singular popular notions about the hibernation of various animals. Many believe that the bear hibernates during the whole winter and subsists by mechanically sucking its paws. It is admitted that it comes out of its retirement in the spring so lean that it had to try twice before it can cast a shadow. Three or four centuries ago, in England, no fact was better attested than that swallows passed the winter months in the mud at the bottom of their brooks, clinging together in globular masses. They have apparently been compelled to give up the custom and account of the foulness of the brooks. Sotus Ecobius discovered in Central Asia a whole nation of people who hibernate. By some investigators, the fasting of Lent is supposed to have been originally a modified form of hibernation, to which the Church gave a religious significance; but this view was strenuously opposed by that eminent authority, Bishop Kip, who did not wish any honors denied to the memory of the Founder of his family. |
