More SoE office drama

Nothing pisses me off more than a bunch of men pretending to be experts on women.

Turnabout is fair play considering Cosmopolitan is still around.

Over 38% of Maxim readers are women. Just...putting that out there.

[Signe]

This site appears to be broken.  I can't go into it further as I have to do something else.  Someone do something!

[Xanthippe]

Okay. Signe's mad. Not good.

Maybe this will make her feel better.

[Righ]

As Ironwood just said, it barely registers.

Ironwood was talking about Glasgow. Heck you only have to go as far south as East Kilbride for Glaswegian vernacular to be unacceptable. Actually the younger generations in Glasgow (post city of kultchir) are more uptight about colourful language than Billy Connolly's generation.

[Strazos]

If you really want to be cutting edge, you call a woman a Slore (slut + whore, i think you get it).

It'll put hair on your chest, I swear.

I freely confess to not being an expert on women, so I asked one. She looked at me with that "Are you *seriously* asking me this question" death stare, so I'd have to say no, being called "whores" do not amuse women. Generally, I've found they prefer being called by their name, or occasionally "pooky", or in the rarest of cases "chica". But if you use "whore" as an endearment, you probably think you are a "pimp". Note: you're not.

[MrHat]

Boo boo kitty fuck?

[Strazos]

She must be new at life, or something.


Cry. Some. More. Newb.

I saw bruce running amok tonight.

It sent shivers into my waking soul. Help me.

Now I see what's wrong here. There seems to have been the belief that I meant you could call a random woman on the street or someone who is almost a stranger a whore. No, you couldn't even get away with "idiot." But if I'd said to one of my friends in high school "Stop being such a whore" it wouldn't have even set off the "you done hurt me" meter.

Don't explain yourself. Nobody listens.

[schild]

Don't explain yourself. Nobody listens.

That's because people on the internet go to stage 6-2 of Super Mario Bros. 3 and get the Hammer Bros. costume when they get offended by shit that shouldn't offend them. Because it's the internet.

[Fabricated]

so how about that internet?

[Azazel]

I hear the explanation changes every post. GO GO INTERNET!


But we were at one point discussing if Ms CSR was a "whore" since she poses naked on the interweb which somehow morphed into "calling her a whore really isn't offensive, says me, so it's ok."


Swearing in Scotland is ok, 'cos they're all 'ard men. And you know what they say about 'ard men...

But we do agree she's a whore right?

[schild]

Fabricated beat me to it.

[Der Helm]

Reading this thread made me listen to the conversations of several specimens in schilds supposed "age bracket".

He is right. Well, in parts at least. The German equivalents of whore (Nutte and Hure to be specific) are comonly used amongst them. But the intention is still to piss of the other person, but it does not seem to make much of an impression. I was surprised, but I am not willing to put this theory to a test and actually call another human being ( or a woman for that matter ) anything degoratory, I am too old to run away from mobs of mad women.

[Tebonas]

Finally I see the problem.

Me being in the 30-40 bracket, Schild is one of those youngsters that don't speak the same language as us old people!

Get off my lawn, boy! And take that Fabri friend of yours with you or I'll call Mrs. Cated!

@Der Helm: Use a bicycle!

[Der Helm]

@Der Helm: Use a bicycle!

Hm, I have to think about that.

My point.

Agreed.

But, but! We were going to go see Leo Auffmann's Happiness Machine and get some shaved ice!

God, you reminded me of how much I hate Ray Bradbury.

[Azazel]

Of the attention kind, definately, of the slut kind, nope.

[Calantus]

Not that I particularly want to wade into this whole whore debate, but schild is actually right here. I use "whore" and "slut" all the time (though most often addressed to my mates/brother). I probably use it as often as I use "bitch", and I've never had anyone get pissy at me over any of them. And yes I mean things like just flat out calling a girl a whore or slut to her face for something she'd done/said and she not going berzerk over it. Naturally if I called someone a whore just out of the blue I wouldn't make a very good impression, but I'd get much the same reaction calling them an idiot under the circumstances.

So yeah, you guys must be out of touch or something. :P

EDIT: I DO remember one incident when a friend called a girl a slut and she went off crying and wouldnt look at him for days, but that was back in 7th grade.

[Ironwood]

I have it on good authority that her milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard.

7th grade ? Whoa, I am more out of touch than I thought. I am not sure lots of 7th graders knew even the meaning of the word slut.

(7th grade means you are somewhat around 12 years old over here, YMMV and whatnot)

[schild]

7th grade ? Whoa, I am more out of touch than I thought. I am not sure lots of 7th graders knew even the meaning of the word slut.

12-13 years old in the states. And hell yes most 7th grade girls know about the word slut. Hell, I remember hearing it more during the summer between 6th and 7th grade than I did during my entire time in college.

[Tebonas]

I feel old!

Fuck off and die the lot of you!

Well, 5 years really seem to make a difference. But you Americans always have to be ahead of the curve, don't you.

[Der Helm]

You first old man.

[5150]

Raph's manual really is more interesting than her.  Promise.

Agreed

[Signe]

Not everywhere.  If you use that sort of language in Edinburgh, they'll Morris Dance you right out of town.

[Xanthippe]

I think I've come up with a great intarweb test for mmog players to find out if "she" is really a female or not - (or maybe just if "whore" has lost its punch among women).

While grouped with a female avatar, try this - call the females whores when you speak to them.  See who quits the group.

I d-double-dare you.


 

[El Gallo]

Woot, page ten.  The highlight of my internet career.  I'd like to thank my momma, Elvis, the academy and all the little people who made this possible.

[Typhon]

Admit it, El Gallo is paying you to "get my baby to 10!"

I'm modifying my theory, I now believe that El Gallo is paying both Schild and Signe to keep this thread going.

Edit: see?! he's there, ...watching, ...gloating.  A payoff is the only reasonable explanation.
