A Member of Parliament is the representative of the voters to a parliament. In many countries with bicameral parliaments, this category includes specifically members of the lower house, as upper houses often have a different title, such as senate, and thus also have different titles for its members, such as senator. Members of parliament tend to form parliamentary groups with members of the same political party. In everyday use, the term Member of Parliament is almost always shortened to the initialism MP, and this is also common in the media.

Polyurethane is a type of polymer, or large molecule composed of repeated subunits, that is widely used in many industrial and consumer products due to its versatility and durability. It can be rigid or flexible, and is typically used in various items including foam mattresses, insulation, adhesives, sealants, paint, and varnishes. The material is generally resistant to weather, oils, and solvents, which makes it suitable for many applications.

A bachelor party (in the United States and sometimes in Canada), also known as a stag weekend, stag do or stag party (in the United Kingdom, Commonwealth countries, and Ireland), or a bucks night (in Australia), is a party held/arranged by the man who is shortly to enter marriage. A stag night is usually planned by the grooms friend or brother, occasionally with the assistance of a bachelor party planning company. The first references to Western stag nights in the Oxford English Dictionary date to the 19th century. Traditionally, stag nights involved a black tie banquet hosted by the father of the groom that included a toast in honour of the groom and bride. Since the 1980s, some bachelor parties in the United States have involved vacationing to a foreign destination, or have featured female company such as strippers or topless waitresses.
