A quick definition of culvertage:

Term: Culvertage

Definition: Culvertage is a word used in history to describe two things. Firstly, it refers to the status of villeinage, which means being a serf or a peasant who is bound to work on a lord's land. Secondly, it refers to the condition of being reduced to villeinage or serfdom by forfeiture and degradation. In simpler terms, culvertage means being a peasant who is forced to work for a lord and has no freedom or rights.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Culvertage is a historical term that refers to two things:

  1. The status of being a villein, which means being a peasant who is bound to work on a lord's land and cannot leave without permission.
  2. The condition of becoming a villein or serf through punishment or degradation.

Examples:

  • John was born into culvertage, which meant he had to work on the lord's land and couldn't leave without permission.
  • After stealing from the lord, William was punished by being put into culvertage, which meant he lost his freedom and became a villein.

These examples show how culvertage was a way of controlling peasants and punishing those who broke the law. It was a form of bondage that limited a person's freedom and forced them to work for someone else.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
