How about “concubine”? - that’s the term in the Bible...

I like this from the article:


We live in a deeply dishonest age in which we think by changing what we call something we can change the reality. As noted by Congressman George W. Julian, who served in Congress while Lincoln was President:

There are strong reasons for saying that he doubted his right to emancipate under the war power, and he doubtless meant what he said when he compared an Executive order to that effect to “the Pope’s Bull against the comet.” In discussing the question, he used to liken the case to that of the boy who, when asked how many legs his calf would have if he called its tail a leg, replied, ” Five,” to which the prompt response was made that calling the tail a leg would not make it a leg.

Ah yes, reminds me of the Mad Hatter's tea party representing the true nature of man.

Who's coming up with this brainwashing stuff? If people read the bible they'd be protected against such nonsense.
