Manumission
Manumission is great. It's the act of setting slaves free. I never knew it was called manumission, but I am a fan of freeing slaves. Your meanings were wonderful and very enjoyable to read on what's been a down day for various reasons. Thanks for the humour. And well done to Silver_flight who reached the top of the poll today.

Love 'em or hate 'em, you've just gotta hate 'em.
A secret mission for a military spy.
Manumission is the general term for the recovery period entered by a woman upon breaking up with her boyfriend/partner/husband.
The particular nature of the manumission will be dependent on the character of the woman and may range from staying in with the cat and a good bottle of wine to rampaging through town on wild nights out with girl friends to the vindictive devestation of the ex's wardrobe/car/garden/new relationship.
Ooo Thesaurus you're in the right neck of the woods.
Manumission is Manchester slang for a girl's night out on the pull and to get bevvied up.
