IRON PANTS
Iron Pants is a term used by young males to describe young females who are determined to remain virgins despite attempts to deflower them.
During the middle ages when noblemen left for the Crusades, they insured the faithfulness of their wives and mistresses by securing their "private parts" in a small suit of armor wore around the waist called a chastity belt.
The following are actual photographs of two chastity belts on display in a museum at Cluny, France in the early 1900s. Today, young ladies use a birth control device far more effective. They cross their legs, fold their arms across their chest while repeating the word "NO" in a loud, emphatic voice.

A device recently cleared under 510(k) is usually used as a predicate device. However, any legally U.S. marketed device may be used as a predicate.
A Premarket Notification [510(k)] is a premarketing submission made to FDA to demonstrate that the device to be marketed is safe and effective by proving substantial equivalence (SE) to a legally marketed device (predicate device) that is not subject to Premarket Approval (PMA). Submitters must compare their 510(k) device to a similar legally marketed U.S. device(s). A device recently cleared under 510(k) is usually used as a predicate device. However, any legally U.S. marketed device may be used as a predicate. This includes: a device that has been cleared through the 510(k) process; a device that was legally marketed prior to May 28, 1976 (preamendments device); a device that was originally on the U.S. market as a Class III device (Premarket Approval) and later downclassified to Class II or I; or a 510(k) exempt device.
"Polarizer" means a permanently dichroic, polarizing glass article

a portion of which crystallites near the surface of the glass article
are at least partially reduced to colloidal metal.
