Professional Baby Cuddler

The mirror replied "To whom?"

"The miller who made the flour for my bread," the queen would say, or "Whoever spun the thread my shawl was made of".

The second time, she says "To the King," and she is pleased to see herself once more.

The third time, she says "To the Royal Advisor," and is once more satisfied to see herself.

The fourth time, she says "To the scribe who takes the King's letters." She is shown the man's wife. And she seethes, but quiets herself, for it is only right that a man loves his wife.

The fifth time, she says "To the Court Wizard," and is shown the man's departed mother as he remembers her from his youth, radiant and smiling and warm and larger than life.

The tenth time, she says "To the Stable Master," and is shown the fastest horse in the stable, majestic and free as the wind even in captivity

"To the baker," she is shown the man's daughter, young and adorable and full of joy and laughter.

"To the artist who did my portrait," she is shown a painting of a woman done by the man's teacher, who he still looks up to now that he is well established himself.

"To the Royal Knight," she is surprised but not displeased to see the castle's entire guard force in the middle of doing drills.

The one hundredth time she asks the mirror, and it asks her "to whom?" she once again says, "To me." And she does the same the one hundred and second, and again and again and again.

Place of origin: Great Britain or France

"flaming" -> flaming/camp/slay (original gay slang meaning) -> camp(derogatory)/over-the-top/extra (meaning after 100 years of homophobia)

"Hotman" -> Attractive gay man/man that the speaker, as a gay person, finds attractive (original gay slang meaning) -> faggot (meaning after 100 years of homophobia)

"Flameo" -> DTF/gay sex ("flameo hotman" = propositioning someone for gay sex) (original gay slang meaning) -> fuck but specifically kinky or "degenerate" non-socially-acceptable sex (meaning after 100 years of homophobia)

So when Aang is spending his first day in the fire nation calling everyone "hotman" and all the fire nation ppl look at him confused and vaguely offended I can only guess that they assumed he was a middle schooler making prolific use of the new slur he just learned and doesn't yet actually know the meaning of and they can either get pissed and have to explain why, or they can keep walking and let him be someone else's problem.

Normally I'm all for more interpretations than defaulting to the binary, but in this case, Lady Macbeth's yearning/rage is specifically and overwhelmingly tied to ideas around being a man. "Unsex me now" in the context of the play and Lady Macbeth's circumstances and preoccupations is about her choosing a path that's going to strip her of the sex that has determined the course of her life—that is, womanhood; she's calling for the sex she already has (as understood in her world) to be taken away so she can be a true man—the man that Macbeth is not. Lady Macbeth's whole deal is caught up in regarding Macbeth as less of a man than she is, yet reaping the rewards of it despite his failures of masculinity.
