Reader Question: Jordan reportedly fears her recent week-long drunk sexcapades in Ibiza may cost her her kids in her ongoing divorce battle with estranged hubby Peter Andre. Could you explain “drunk sexcapades”? My comments: The word “sexcapade” is a combination of the words “sex” and “escapade”, an escapade being “an adventurous action that runs counter to approved or conventional conduct” according to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary. But you won’t find the word “sexcapade” in that dictionary, as it is a term invented in pop culture to refer to the sexual exploits of people like Jordan, the English former glamour model (i.e. sexually alluring and semi-nude model) and current reality television star. Add the word “drunk” to “sexcapades” and you can see that according to the media, Jordan’s escapades not only involve sex but also alcohol. And for tabloid journalists at UK papers like “The Sun” and “News of the World”, who have been steadily covering the drama in Jordan’s life after her divorce from pop star (and her reality show co-star) Peter Andre, “drunk sexcapades” make for juicy content and in Jordan’s case most of the time, embarrassing photos. 本文僅代表作者本人觀點(diǎn)，與本網(wǎng)立場無關(guān)。歡迎大家討論學(xué)術(shù)問題，尊重他人，禁止人身攻擊和發(fā)布一切違反國家現(xiàn)行法律法規(guī)的內(nèi)容。 Related stories | |
