Coyote Ugly.

Those of you who have seen the movie, "Coyote Ugly" may not know that it is a slang term which refers to the feeling of waking up after a one-night stand, and discovering that your arm is underneath someone who is so physically repulsive that you would gladly chew it off, without waking the person- just so you can get away without being discovered. Coyotes are known to gnaw off limbs if they are stuck in a trap in order to facilitate escape. The phrase has now entered the urban Lexicon and is commonly used to describe relationships, where in a stupor of desire people make commitments and then try to escape. A case in point is the sensual feline cougar, Demi Moore whose sensuality oozes out of every curve. Vladmir Doronin escaped her clutches and now Toy boy lover Vito Schna bel has also dumped her. A cougar mistaken for a pussycat shows the power of sexuality and how people intoxicated with lust salivate around the opposite sex. Mae West, at 83 could get any young man into her pad with a single come hither line. According to spiritual columnist Vithal Nadkarni there is a religious connotation -wherein he traces the equivalent in Buddhist philosophy to the donkey headed Yakshi, in whose lap the boozing philanderer wakes up bleary eyed in the morning after.The odd couples are depicted in the “Wheel of Life” motifs in Buddhist monasteries. The ass – headed feminine stands for the vice of lust that can be propitiated through enlightenment. Coyote ugly is an allegory for complete loss of discrimination brought on by intoxication. The Talmudic prophecy about the anointed king of the Jews on the other hand has the Messiah riding into Jerusalem on the female donkey followed by the colt – King and Colt. Moses, the first redeemer of the Israelis, too comes with his family riding on a donkey! In secular terms it is like the President riding to the White House on a cycle instead of a jet; but not in spiritual terms that emphasizes humility rather than hubris. –Vinay-
