Chinese version of smear-the-queer?
Wow … you really do sink to new lows in every thread don’t you? Careful, you may just fall off the bottom rung of human evolution.
What?
isn’t Smear the Queer one of those games like Tag, or something?
Yeah, with tackling. Which was the point.
@jellybeans: If you have a ‘PC’ name for it, then good for you, but I don’t know of any other name for it.
Ahh, I appologize for misunderstanding. That sounds like “Kill the Carrier” there is a ball or some sort of flag involved?
That is an awful name for a game by the way.
Eh, it has a ring to it. I wiki’d ’smear the queer’ and ‘kill the carrier’ – only the first got me to ‘tag’, is that not as popular a name?
It’s generally a football, and you run 20-50 yards or so from ‘endzone’ to ‘endzone’ for points – if you’re tackled, you’ve gotta toss the ball. Similar? I’ve never heard your term before – in what region is it generally used?
New England area – That is what my neighborhood friends called it. We had either a ball or a piece of cloth (usually a t-shirt from one of the older boys trying to show off) and would run from one end of a little park to the other. the person who tackled you would steal the ball and get 10 seconds free running time before everyone would go for him.
I have only heard the phrase smear the queer in terms of gay bashing, I think in a movie or something. It is probably regional or it could be generational. Queer did not become a popular word until recently it seems – or no one in my area ever said it at any rate.
PS – yes, I know it meant odd. Doesn’t mean the most COMMON use is acceptable to me because I am quite sure when one person calls another queer they mean gay ( possibly unless they are over 60ish)
It depends on your vocabulary I guess. I use it when it applies, and do NOT use it to refer to gays.
kill the pill
Um, shaddup. You’re queer little comments are queering our fun.
lol comment win!
You doofus – he’s referring to an old grade school game.
What kind of grade school did you people attend? Smear the queer is another phrase for gay-bashing … you know, hate crimes.
So apparently you were never a pre-adolescent boy? They tend to use words and phrases like that for things without truly understanding them.
I can honestly say that I have never in my life been a pre-adolescent boy. I have played that game under a different name but even raised by republicans (yes, similar to being raised by wolves) I would have had my mouth washed out with soap for saying queer.
My whole point was that the name of the game is essentially harmless. You do realize that queer doesn’t mean gay right? It means odd or different, and has only come to the gay connotation as an extension of its original meaning?
I was raised by democrats! That’s funny
I was raised by wolves! Funny!!
Smear the Queer was a game involving the entire group trying to tackle the carrier of a football. (Gridiron ball for you from outside the US and Canada.) It generally gets played by pre-adolescent boys and teens. The name comes from the archaic meaning for ‘queer,’ which meant ‘oddball, person who is different.” The name was given colloquially long before the perverted meaning came about.
Even today, with all the prejudice I have encountered on so many different levels that it would take too long to list, the name from the first post reminded me of the childhood game, not gay bashing… which, by the way is another definition perverted from the original.
At least he didn’t call anyone a bundle of sticks or cigarettes.
HAHA, I always laugh when people know the REAL meaning of that word.
… I still _use_ the real meaning of the word… Is that a no-no? Should I refrain? I don’t want to get punched or anything randomly…
I don’t know, I’ve only heard it used commonly by Brits in recent years.
Well, I’ve always had this interesting accent…
Really? That’s queer.
One must not be niggardly in ones use of words.
That’s horrible that you would use that word like that!
You should have used “one’s”!
>D
A top aid to the DC Mayor was let go because he used that word… pretty weird times we are living in.
Public.
…. soooo…. in your narrow view, “queer” always and everywhere meant homosexual? There seems to be a huge correlation between anger and ignorance here.
… there usually is.
Well, I think that angry are often ignorant, but the ignorant aren’t always angry.
(BTW, the angry usually think other people are ignorant.)
I do know what the original meaning was and when spoken the tone is usually a good indicator of intent BUT on the intertubes can you honestly tell me that you see the original meaning used more often or even nearly as often as the more recent meaning?
This is the same argument as saying crackers are just crispy little bread like snacks and the N word really means ignorant. It is sophistry and it is often used to justify people who want to say a naughty word then get caught and try to back pedal.
I apologized for misunderstanding the original post – I explained my reasons and I thought it was written off as a regional difference or attributed to the fact that I have never been a little boy.
I have never hear the phrase “smear the queer” mean “gay bashing”. If you are going to attempt a contextual defense, you should research it first. The first page of hits on google describe the childhoood game…. there are two exceptions, having to do with gays… but they are referencing the game as a way of being (cough) clever.
You were wrong; you pounced out of ignorance. Admit it and go on with your life.
Cheeeeeez.
I have admitted it.
The normal kind, not the sheltered prep school you apparently went to. We playit all the time MN when I was growing up in the 90s.
Nothing to do with gays, unless of course, you are one of those professionally offended types obsessed with finding the fault in others.
Bite me
What a queer thing to say
In Soviet PunditKitchen, queers smear you!
So many number 5’s… o.o Why?
If I had to guess, it would be the divisional identifier… the 5th battalion or district or something like that… That would make the 3’s their unit or squad number.
And the Triforce their nation of origin – Hyrule.
Hyrule rules. Death to Gannon!!
Ah, thank you. And indeed, death to Gannon!
and little 3’s under them.
HOLY CRAP THAT’S A TRIFORCE NEXT TO THE 3!!!
Just thought I’d point that out. These people are obviously friggin’ Hylian.
Someone needs to go the the Lost Woods and find the Master Sword before Gannondorf gets the princess again… oops… too late.
I’d love to, but I can’t get this shadow bitch off my back…
*passes Anon the Blue Potion*
Hope this helps…
yikes! what does that mean? sounds ominous
The Tri-force symbol actually has its roots in sacred geometry, which goes back thousands of years… But yeah, scary.
sierpinski triangle after 1 iteration init?
Among other things, it also appears in Shintoism, and sacred geometry, as I mentioned before. Its one of the semi-universal symbols (like the swastika, which also thousands of years old and usually means peace), that has several different origins and meanings throughout history.
Then it became a symbol of Nazism.
After that, it became the symbol of Dumbass Protestors.
Ah, evolution.
Apparently you need to get one of the hats with the 5 on it or you are SOL.
I just picture someone trying to draw a big yellow five on their head with crayon or something – “Don’t maim me! I’ve got a five, too! *sob*”
probably what I would do!
sad, but 
Um… I just got an ad for an adult superstore… Is anyone moderating these advertisements?
Costco?
Oppression Win!!
Liberty lose!!
altho it does look like the one Inflicter of Justice(cop) has a 1 on the back of his helmet, altho i spose it might be a 7. In the same place where the 3 is.
This pic looks like preview night at the WB booth for the Wonder Woman bags they were giving out at the Comic Con.
Oh look…it’s Johnny number Five.

You are number 6.
Who is number one?
You are number six.
Uh oh! You’re showin your age !
If you understand where that comes from..
This is Obama’s America.
You know, simply taking the sort of thing that Bush and his Repug cronies have already done here (free speech zones, cops bashing heads in NYC) and claiming Obama will do it isn’t good argumentation. It just reminds people of the things your hero has already done to them, rather than making them fear your enemy. The idea that Obama will be more of an authoritarian than Bush is laughable to anyone who has been alive and conscious these last eight years.
Snicker…. yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhh…. that’s excaaaaaaaaaaaactly the saaaaaaaammmmmmme.
By the way, if you could go ahead and work Saturday, that would be greeeeeeaaaaaatttt…..
Uhm, yeeeeaaaaaahhh, were gonna need you to pay more in taxes now, so if you could just go ahead and hand it over, that would be greeeeeeeeaat, yeeeeeeaaaaaah…
Ummmm …. Obama is proposing tax increases for people making over 250k a year. McCain has also said income tax increases are NOT off the table in his efforts to shore up social security.
Claiming McCain will not raise taxes isn’t exactly truthful.
Did you know that NY is a state, and NYC is a city? They are not controlled by Bush.
Logic FAIL.
I’m pretty sure that that is a racist comment, according to Obama.
Nah- That’s Chinatown in San Francisco after someone used the word
” Niggardly” in Obamaland of the possible future.
( Actually, they said “Niggaldry”)!!!!
Ooh, the Obamatons are gonna get you for saying that!
problem… Chinese riot police dont wear english on their backs
