hey sometimes when u want to join a mob u need to accessorize first.
Talking about looking gay, I just can’t get this song out of my head…dammit!
(PS: Link included)
Freddy Mercury was a musical genius.
noice
I lolled.
Reminds me of the old (gay bashing) Eddie Murphy bit:
‘Me and my friends like to go harass the homosexuals. Drive past real slow, shouting “F@ggot! Hey, f@ggot @ssed f@ggot!”
You forget, these f@ggots are guys, man. Pretty embarassing sh!t to get your @ss beat by a f@ggot, man! (lisps) “Why are you bovering me, why?!?” ‘
My comments keep getting moderated because I forget that f@g doesn’t always mean “a cigarette.”
lol
I think you can say “Fag” safely on here.
Hey I just did it.
Really? Hmm I was unfairly moderated.
FAG!
But can you say faggot? Let’s find out…
Yes, you can! Someone needs to just post a whole bunch of random swears words and slurs so we know how we can and cannot insult each other.
You can say ass, damn, and bastard with no moderation.
And that’s about 30% of my total vocabulary there, so it’s a good start.
@ eric you need to expand your vocabulary then
&
@ ac – the best insults rarely involve profanity — “she’s a vermin-ridden, pat buchanon-loving, war-mongering pseudo-intellectual egotistical frigid cow”
Oh, BF, I’m a sad, simple man who is infinitely amused by profanity. Frankly, I don’t see what the big deal is. I can be just as offensive without using a single swear word. They’re just words. It’s the intent that’s the important part.
(With the exception of words that exist only for hateful purposes. Those are fully loaded words.)
good thing i like you eric in stl, i’ve verbally stomped the stuffing out of “she who shall remain nameless” for calling me bf
.
profanity has it’s place, but when you start repeating, it gets old…fast.
when my oldest was a teen and the usual assortment of teen boys started hanging around the house, their lack of creativity got tiresome (along with their effort at not using f*ck as every other word) so i instigated a rule – swearing was allowed, but no repeating – they thought it was great for a while, until they realized that was all they said.
when you use the same words over and over, they lose their impact and become just noise, has nothing to do with being offensive or insulting, just not redundant.
I use the f-word way too much, I guess. I just like it. I don’t know why. I don’t expect it to carry any extra gravity. I just like it.
When I did my student teaching my supervisor from the university was this nice little elderly man who had come home from WWII and started teaching. After he retired he started supervising students teachers. When he would observe me teach he would make tally marks for every time I said the word “okay” and “you guys”. He didn’t do this to be a jerk (contrary to what previous students had told me) but instead to illustrate exactly what you were talking about, fairie. Using the same words over and over again loses your audience.
That being said, when I’m with my friends I cuss an awful lot. Also, military guys tend to cuss a lot and I come from a military family. It’s a balance and where code switching comes into play. I can switch to teacher and professional mode and I never have a slip up, and then when I’m with my friends slip back.
as a guess it’s because there are so many ways to emphasis different parts of the word. drag out the u, or heavy on the ck, or extra explosive f….
but it is one of those words that is just over used, rather similar to like in valley-speak
but don’t mind me, it’s just my inner old crone creeping out, lol
Try “-ing!” both stress relieving and not actually offensive at thesame time !
what’s a fudgepacker?
Here, have a seat on this shiny little meatpole and I’ll give you a hint.
I wouldn’t call that bashing… Sounds like he learned an interesting lesson with the @ss beating and all.
Nothing says greater understanding like a well deserved ass beating.
-Tries not to giggle-
*points and laughs*
True enough!
Of course, it was preceded by: ‘ I don’t wanna offend any homosexuals, if there are any in the audience. Do- do we have any homosexuals in the audience? (laughter) Just raise your hands-(audience starts to lose it) No? Good! Let’s talk about them!
It’s hard to remember that just 27 years ago, when he recorded that album, gays in the audience wouldn’t have dared raise their hands, for fear of being beaten. TImes have sure changed.
Aye! A rare DWN sighting!
I was going to say that!!! So, I will….
The pink shirt doesn’t mean he is gay, per se; it just means he did a load of whites and missed the rogue red sock. Not to be confused with a rouge rogue sock. Or is it? What?
I’m always ending with one black sock in the load of whites and it ends up purple. The sock ends up dark purple and the whites end up light purple.
I’ve gotta admit. I’m not man enough to wear pink.
Pft. Eric, some of my Reds are going in with your whites next time you do the laundry. -schedules flight to St. Louis-
Pfft. Like I separate color from whites.
>:D how do you not have any pink shirtses?
I don’t really have many red shirtses. And the ones I do have are really old and were never washed with whites. But that’s more coincidence than anything.
)
(BTW, I just made 14 new LOL’s. With any luck, 1 or 2 will actually be decent. Link in the name.
So, your “whites” are more “ivories”, then?
Or perhaps ‘light grey’s?
My whites aren’t going to blind anybody with their brightness, no. LOL
Eric – I especially love the two leading George Harrison ones!
Thanks. Can’t help myself when there’s a Beatle picture.
Go ahead, just call it coral like the rest of us!
“No gays in Iran.” ? Yeah right!
You jumped to two conclusions there. Way to assume.
You in New York now baby!
Actually, when he said that Iran doesn’t have homosexuals “like in your country”, he meant that it is a very rare “phenomenon”, compared to the USA. He clarified this remark afterwards. Interestingly, I understood it totally different the first time. I thought he wanted to say that Iran doesn’t have a homosexual *culture* like the one that exists in many western nations, since I guess that there isn’t a public Gay Pride Celebration in Teheran this year…or the year before…or the year before the year before.
But believing that he denies the mere existance of homosexuals in Iran doesn’t make any sense, because in that case there would be no need to declare it illegal.
I’m pretty sure I heard him say “We have no homosexuals in Iran. Who told you there were homosexuals in Iran?”
And pretty tight pants too.
well better than a red shirt….. ^^
*looks down*
*realizes I’m wearing a red shirt (with a pocket in front)*
………
Watch out for those aliens with weapons, then!
A red shirt in Star Trek means you are toast. [link]
Poster boy for pink is powerful!
nah, it´s only in america where people are stupid enough to associate t-shirt color with sexual orientation.
Nah, it’s only in America where people associate not having brass balls with being gay.
They didn’t say people who wear pink shirts are gay, they said that they can still have brass balls. Nice try, though.
Yeah, read the LOL again. It’s not suggesting pink shirt wearing guys are gay. It’s suggesting that pink shirt wearing guys are normally considered wussies. And frankly, the fact that you made the leap to homosexuality makes me wonder if you’re the one making that association, Kelly, not the LOL maker.
Eric logic WIN.
3 words that are never in a sentence together.
Except for that one lifetime…. Whose was it? Eric the Great of Saint Louisville?
There was a pink shirt resurgence amongst guys a few years back. One day I went to my bookstore job wearing a pink polo shirt and khaki knee length shorts. My coworker (who is a guy) who was scheduled to be on the register with me was also wearing a pink polo shirt and khaki knee length shorts. Man, the customers loved us and all our other coworkers made fun of us.
Mmmm…. for some reason, that mental image reminds me of peppermint iced cream.
Be right back, gotta finish off that box.
I had some killer lemon creme cake for dessert at this cute little pastry shop my friends and I recently discovered.
i just knew someone was going to be stupid enough to say that.
reality check: people associate pink with gayness in this country. it´s sad, but it´s true. likewise, people associate wussiness with gayness. don´t get mad at me for pointing out the country´s obvious homophobia.
I don’t associate pink with gayness at all, since I know a lot of preppy guys who have worn pink. Like I said, a couple years ago there was this whole pink popularity thing amongst guys and I saw a lot of little boys in the elementary school I worked at wearing pink because it was the cool thing to do at the time. Also, the gay guys I know have never worn pink, although on of my friends does have a thing for Disney princesses.
Pink used to be for boys, at the time that there first was color coding for gender of babies (link). Also, my mother recalls that when she was young (late 1930’s, early 1940’s) green was the color associated with being a ‘woman-oriented woman’ or a gay man. Things change.
Whoa, that explains my bizarre ex-mother-in-law’s reaction when I dressed my little red-head daughter in green outfits! She acted like I was doing something kinky!
Maybe she was prejudiced against leprechauns? [link]
Yes, I had heard that as well. I had also heard that blue was for women as it denoted their soothing nature, whereas pink was bright and bold for a man’s decisive nature. I just couldn’t remember where I’d heard that so I didn’t mention it in case I had my facts wrong.
Damn it! That was me, I’m at my mother’s house waiting for her so we can go shopping. I though if I used her computer my name would still be in the autofill. Damn you Charlie! *shakes fist*
Kelly, saying that it’s America’s bias and not yours only goes to show that you’re trying to generalize our entire country just to defend yourself. YOU are the only one here that made that generalization, I for one thought nothing about homosexuality.
I made the same association as Kelly. Not that strange for someone raised in the US, really.
Oh, and also: the author of the LOL said that this man wore a pink shirt, and nothing about his sexuality. Only about the stereotype that guys who wear pink are supposed to be wusses, but here you see they aren’t. Straight guys can wear pink too, you self-righteous orange juice face balding witch of evil. (Sorry about that, but I wanted to try out insulting without cussing like Eric and Bad Faerie were talking about above;)). You’re the one who jumped to that conclusion, Kelly. You really shouldn’t enable yourself by posting things in your defense that make everyone here look bad. You’re the one who made the jump to the massive generalization, now own up to it.
To quote Kevin Kline, don’t call me stupid.
You made the jump to homosexuality on this LOL. That’s the point I was getting at. YOU made the jump on this LOL. Not the entire USA. YOU did. A guy in a pink shirt does not mean gay. A guy who is wussy does not mean gay. We have many gay stereotypes in this country, you’re going a little overboard. These are a new level of homophobic stereotypes you’re pushing there.
just because you haven´t seen the stereotype doesn´t mean it isn´t there. all my gay friends know about this. i don´t know why you are so unaware. excuse me for making a connection that you can´t.
I’m not gonna excuse you for being a jerk. I’m not exactly known for my brute strength, and I’m certainly not gay, nor has it been suggested. And while pink is known as a girl color, wearing it doesn’t seem to signify gay. If I’m gonna go for gay stereotypes, I’d probably go for rainbow, not pink. And while wussy guys might be the a part of the flaming homosexual stereotype, being a wuss does not automatically signal “gay.” It signals wuss. End of story.
Kelly, I HAVE seen that stereotype. Fact is, I don’t make that assumption because I know I don’t know everyone. You don’t know all the Americans in this country, and neither do your friends. So, you need to not assume things about *everyone* here. You’re being asinine, and need to grow up. Just because Eric chooses not to make the same assumptions you do doesn’t mean he’s unaware, or can’t make the connection. It means he’s less assumptive and biased than you are. The pink shirt comment, actually, would be more an anti-feminist comment, because more often I find pink thought of as “girly”, and that for a guy to wear it makes him a “wuss”. Not that it makes him homosexual, because I know a whole bunch of homosexual people with big brass balls. So naturally, I don’t make the jump you do. However, maybe I’m not as “smart” and “aware” as you. Or maybe it’s just that I choose to ignore most of the biases that come my way, and not act like a stereotyping ass in a public domain?
“Nah, it’s only in America where people associate not having brass balls with being gay.”
Always makes me laugh when I hear people say being gay is a choice. Right, like someone could feel the way I do about women and say, “But no, I’d rather risk getting my ass kicked by rednecks, and endure a lifetime of discrimination in jobs and housing, just so I could look at some guy’s hairy butt the rest of my life.”
Though, if that was true, it would take some brass balls!
PM, that’s the best explanation I’ve EVER heard of sexual orientation!

Read other replies.
Grow brain.
Comprehend.
Yes. That’s a word. Very good.
Maybe soon once he graduates kindergarten he’ll realize it was actually a sentence, then maybe, just maybe, in 4th grade, he’ll realize it was a “comment”?
This reminds me of the riot in Thailand back in April.
Every protesters there wore red shirts. It’s a wonder nobody died.
(According to the government anyway)
the riot police are facing away from the three guys…
they are basically throwing things at their backs FAIL
He may have brass balls(who looked?) but he throws like a girl!!
Maybe he plays cricket. I’ve seen bowlers use the same style.
Maybe he doesn’t have brass balls, but is playing Ultimate Frisbee with one of the soldiers?
