Sure thing, sweetheart. Here's a sentence for you: "Back in the day, the knouter was a feared figure in the village, wielding a cruel whip to administer punishment." Hope that tickles your fancy, darling.
A Faustian Choice is, in fact, no choice at all. For example, if I am at the top of a cliff and being pursued by spear-wielding natives, do I jump off one side of the cliff or the other? The fall is still the same, as is the result if I do not jump. Wrong! The above definition refers to Hobson's Choice. A Faustian Choice is based on Goethe's novel where Faust sells his soul to the devil for knowledge and power. The "choice" is the metaphorical bargain of giving up one's immortal soul for a mortal life of power and knowledge.
It's a reference to the Sword of Damocles, a Greek legend. In the story, Damocles told his emperor how lucky he was to be a powerful ruler, and the emperor offered to switch places for a while. After a wonderful feast, where he was treated like royalty for the first time in his life, Damocles happened to look up -- where he saw a sharpened sword, hanging by a single horsehair. Suddenly, the good life didn't look so good anymore. The message was that any privilege comes with a price: the threat that it could all be taken away, by a single act of carelessness or even random chance. In modern usage, 'hanging by a thread' has come to mean being a very short distance away from something bad happening; and 'the sword over your head' also stands for the idea that with power also comes the burden of wielding that power responsibly.
