a number of troubadours were Cathar or at least Cathar sympathetic
You know, troubadors might get me back to the church.
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is "women religious" what you're supposed to say? I never knew that.
I finally have something to say that's not "ARGHGOIH EE YO** ** *):SHD"SLKJ"AJF"SHIDO"ISDHG." My understanding is that women religious are the ones out in the world, nuns are the cloistered ones.

See, I did not know that! So the woman I saw last night was a woman religious. Cool.

IIRC, you can refer to women religious (the ones out in the world) as "sisters," as well.
And I always default to calling all of them "nuns," which I realize is incorrect.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

What other English phrases are there that are noun adjective like women religious? The only other ones I can think of are the "general" ones -- attorney general, postmaster general, judge advocate general, and so on. Hmm, also court martial. I'm guessing most of those came from French. Are there any others?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The body electric?
Of course, that came from a poem.

I don't think that's the same -- in "I sing the body electric," body is the direct object, and electric is the object complement, right? Or am I totally misreading that phrase?
