On “Deadwood,” cocksucker is used like a comma. So maybe Strunk and White have something to offer as to its vulgarity

TCOAN, I feel the same way about the term “cocksucker”.

Why is that an insult?

Only on EDSBS is there an arguement of such complexity and the willy-nilly use of grandiose vocab.

Yes, I just used willy-nilly.

Better than Timmy is Geoffery.

Sorry, jon…with the fresh review the morning brings my only defense is that gin must make me belligerent…and I do think ‘nuns using “butt pirate” all the time’ is hilarious. Frankly, I didn’t recall what PCU stood for besides the obvious “politically correct”.

Wow, jon, nothing critical in my comments about your academic qualifications, and nothing evident in your comments that would indicate sarcasm regarding the nuns at your school…how would I perceive your apparent sensitivity when you brought it up? Regardless, I have indeed enjoyed my martini, and that would be Mr. Bond to you.

#28 and TCOAN: If South Park does it, it’s OK. Remember the episode (the one with the sled race) when the girls used basically every insult for gays against the boys? “Pillow biter”, “rump ranger”, and “butt pirate” were all in there.

i think the usage of the full name of the fictional university suggests that i have seen the film far too many times to be appropriate of someone who makes their living teaching university film courses.

and while i did indeed hear the term in grade school, the part about the nuns was a wee attempt at sarcasm.

enjoy the martini, Mr (Ms?) Bond

jon, in what context were the nuns using “butt pirate”?

Have you seen the movie? Jeremy Piven and David Spade play opposing leaders of student segments while the hijinks of a visiting high school student bring the polarized student body to an imbroglio of epic proportion, illustrating the ultimate failure of a democratic society intent on non-offensive/wholly offensive diversity wherein noone will acheive satisfaction. Some strong lessons for our time extracted from this difinitive movie of its genre include “Beer, multiple, cold and domestic.”, “Funkadelic in the Age of Enlightenment” and “Afternoon Delight, Curse or Cure”.

Its Friday afternoon and I need a cocktail… of the gin variety, with some vermouth (very little) and an olive.

I can’t speak for Port Charles University, but I remember the term “butt pirate” from elementary school in the early 80’s. The nuns at my Catholic school said it all the time.

Oh, and not so much “gay” as a pejorative, but fun terms like “pillow biter”, “rump ranger”, and “butt pirate”, all of which were brought into the public domain by the movie “PCU”, have been not only more fun to talk about, but enjoyable to use when slinging verbal arrows of that nature.

sb, what about “friends of Dorothy”-ness?

calling someone “gay” is much faster.

remember, stereotypes are a real time saver

Tcoan, pricks, dicks, dildos and the like are adequate descriptive terms for a class of individual. The term has transcended the anatomical organ. Can’t really see your enjoyment of the big D as hypocrisy.

However, denigration of vitamin P has a distinctive mysogynistic aspect that is never attractive in a male, and I haven’t heard it mentioned by lesbians, although it might have more significance to that group as they all have them.

Regarding “gay” as a pejorative, I have had to bite my tongue on several occasions due to adolescent, anti-gay conditioning. Regarding its acceptance as a pejorative, those I know who use it are gay and they’re using it as to degree of lack of masculinity, “swishiness” or “nellyhood”, (?) distinctions of which I am not aware.
