Graciousness
All Eileen knows is that this isn’t for her. It gets in the way of plain speaking.
Celebrity
As far as Eileen’s concerned, you can substitute the words “Waste of Space”. She does not count as celebrities those who achieve great things in the arts or sport - she sees them as achievers. She does count as celebrities those who are famous for being famous. She cannot see the point of this. The one thing that cheers her up on this is that most humans share the same view. For her this is a sign she’s blending in well.
Housework = Hell.
And what magic should be used for in Eileen’s view. While she accepts the need for cleanliness, why go to all the effort yourself when a wave of the wand takes care of the jobs? Her only proviso is to exercise caution with apprentices, brooms and buckets of water.
Codswallop = What the Fairy Queen comes up with a lot of the time.
Eileen likes this expression. Indeed she’s fond of any words she can really put some venom into!
Politics = Needless bickering
Difficult to argue with Eileen here. She'd far rather people just got on and got what needs to be done, done.
Political Journalism = Needless bickering written down or broadcast.
A means of spreading political nonsense far further than it ought to go in Eileen's view. She does not want politics at home or intruding her peaceful home life.
Wildlife
Those creatures that are not human and in most cases have a great deal more intelligence. Eileen is not an animal lover per se but she would prevent them coming to harm and sympathizes with those that lose their habitat due to human activity.
Belligerence
What is shown towards Eileen by those who oppose her. She is right, of course, but she rarely considers whether the belligerence could possibly be justified.
Photography
An art form to be treasured as much as landscape painting, music, sculpture etc.
Paparazzi
Scum who bring photography and genuine investigative journalism down into the gutter.
Winter = God’s resting period for nature.
Eileen sees winter as having its own beauty. She also sees no point in complaining about bad weather in winter. What else should you expect during the winter season?
Spring = God’s creative time.
While Eileen has some sympathy with hayfever sufferers, she sees spring as a time to be out and about. She also sees spring as proof that humans are not the most creative species ever.
Summer = God's Time to enjoy Life time.
And not just for humans either. Also time to get ready for harvest.
Autumn = God's Harvest Time/Winter Preparation Time
And proof that even when things are dying (for example leaves on trees) there is beauty to be enjoyed in that process.
Gossip = Information source.
Eileen has put a stop to many a magical misdeed thanks to information gained this way.
CCTV = Cursed Contraption To (be) (a)Voided.
Eileen hates the cameras. While she has some respect for genuine investigative journalism, she sees CCTV as licensed snooping.
