"Metrosexual"
 

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Alright, I know what people are talking about when they say "metrosexual", but...


Why the fuck would you use that term in the first place? To me, the obvious meaning that one should derive from the term is someone who fucks cities. I'm sure that with all the brainpower at Pixies, we can come up with something less..err...nonsensical? Yes, that's the word, nonsensical.

Forgive me, I'm just in a mood. >:( :p

sexual

makes me think of people who only have sex in large city parks... LOL..

ya rofl!!! it reminds me of the people having sex in subways or on a train.. metro.. yeah lol

I posted a thread a while back on an erotic dream I had with two metrosexuals. I actually love the term. It reminds me of a lot of guys I know - they dress well, wear moisturizer and have lots of hair products :)

Maybe they are called metrosexual becuase they get it on with the enitre city?

New english words are invented everyday, and the wonderful thing about english is that their literal meaning can be completely different than how it is used.

Like if you think about it cocksucker is defined by webster's as a mean despicable person, but in reality a cocksucker is a man's best friend.

Oh I hope I can say cocksucker. What is the vulgarity limit for these boards anyways? Any words that are forbidden?

Generally there should be some sort of relationship between reality and the word's literal meaning. Otherwise, we get words that are nonsensical. Cocksucker, in both meanings you mentioned relates in some way to the act of sucking cock; a despicable person sucks cock to unscrupulously influence another, a friendly person sucks cock purely to give pleasure.


Oh, my fucking word you can. Even complete arseholes like me can say any cunting word we like.

I've always thought cocksucker was used to belittle the man's masculinity like most other homosexual epithets.

I have also used it in traffic to denote that the person in front of me is probably too busy giving or recieving oral sex to know how to drive properly.

Maybe I am jsut jelous since it has beena good long time since I have ever recieved oral pleasure, and it may still be years to come before I recieve any again.

Possibly that too, but it should really be a unisexual insult :)

I went to an all-boys school, which was extremely homophobic. I always understood the term cocksucker to be an anti-gay insult, too.

Although I have heard it used by some 'uneducated' redneck misogynist men to describe women, in the same way that 'bitch' and 'slut' and 'cum-catcher' all refer to women. It's not even meant as an insult, when used by these people, it's more just a synonym for 'woman'. Pisses me off, tho.

BTW Belial - "can say any cunting word we like"??
So..... if the meaning of the word should be tied to its literal meaning, are you saying we can use any vaginal word we want? :jester:

Hehee!
And I'm not a fan of 'metrosexual' either. But then, I can't think of a better term for them. "Straight-girlie-men"? "Pansy Hetros"? "Powder-puff-men"?

Shrug.
Just words, in the end....

Surely it won't be that long :) Can I be a volunteer???

I was MAINLY a reciprocating(props) engine mechanic when I was in the Armed Forces.I went to Tech School for engines.(Lackland)
Tx.The truck that delivered the mechanics,to the returned airplanes,on the flight line,was called a METRO!It was the type that you usually associate with UPS.Different terms,mean many
things. Irish
P.S.As a reciprocating engine mech.,you can cross train to Jet
Engines.If you're a Jet Mechanic,you have to take a test,to show
that you have the mechanical apptitude(smarts)
The "Recip"shop & the jet shop were in the same bld!
Old dig---Would you rather screw,your way accross the country,or
BLOW your way accross?

Yea,and while we are similar subjects,why would you say "FUCK YOU" to someone you are angry at?

Just words or not... my wife says I am metrosexual, (maybe cause I fucked alll the women is Seattle, I dunno :p ), but the first person to call me a powder-puff-man is gonna see me get all wookie on their ass and pull one of their arms out of it's socket!

and then I'll beat them with it:p

all the brands....cant we all just fuck and get along???

thats why i usually say "fuck off"

or "go fuck yourself"

its like "make love not war"

heres George's Carlin's version

"Make Fuck, Not Kill"

I knew there'd be a George Carlin reference, and MM, I knew it'd be you that made it :)

It amazes me to watch the evolotin of words in America. This term first appeared in a New York Times column (if I am correct) and the lexicon spread from there, and it is not like most American words deemd cool (that is created by urban and african americans, used by everyone else, and then exploited by the media, and thus played out) no metrosexual to on a growth pattern all to its own. Mainly becuase gay is just so in.

So what are we going to call a guy into style with a neat bedroom and knows all the hip joints. Well we can't call em gay, that's the point of metrosexual. Oh yeah its obsessive compulsive. Damn someone thought of that first too.

I had one friend explain it to me that "fuck you" meant go fuck yourself.

Of course, I have gotten so tired of telling one friend in college fuck you in college that I started naming positions and or various kink.

Jenna,



Of courtse you cna volunteer, but I must return the favor and I have been told that I have the best toungue between Houston and New Orleans.

hmmmm... I am willing to put that theory to a test :)

me too, purely for scienct you inderstand :slurp:

Wow I am simply amazed at both of you ladies for showing such an interest in science!

Ok.
I suffer from having first had loving, educated parents, (my Papa' was a Lit Professor. Mama' was one of his students), and now live with two writers, so I am I constantly aware of the silliness of new words.
Metro= mother
Polis= city
Metropolis= " Mother City" the biggest, or most important, the capitol.
Sexual, = about sex or reproduction.
So metro-sexual=
Oh dear.
Mother Fucker?

(By the way, most of the men my own age who use skin care products are too wrapped up in the way they look, even more than me, and that is too much!! I guess that I want men to be men... the belches and "other noises" the bad house keeping, and bad dressing. I do want them to be clean, well -mannered, and good dancers!!)

Wanda

Wicked Wanda,

I jsut had to look up the etymology of metropolis just to see if you were right. It turns out that the prefix metro- did mean mother in the Greek.

I guess it is funny how we English speakers (or is it us English speakers) have bastardized words so far from their original meaning.

The Cunning Linguist <-Who has a hobby of murdering the English language in new and inventive ways.

Hee hee hee. :D

Hmm, I had the etymology wrong too.

Yeah, and as if Central Park in New York isn't big enough to fuck, let alone scream that firing hot orgasm! :p
