Well, you're missing the 2nd funniest thread on the site - other than the "Cry like a little Biatch" thread...

this thread is turning into a ST all time top ten best.

Sorry to any thread that isn't in the top ten (they can have a finishers medal - I've got plenty to spare); no offence to finishers or medals intended.

Also, no reference to a certain male genital part was intended with the "top ten" reference above which, upon further consideration makes me concerned about the ever popular NCAA conference: "Big Ten"

List of what life owes you:

I was just about to post "10 pages and no reference to the cry like a little biatch thread?"

I agree with this. If a shitty piece of useless equipment that always fails was called a 'crack head' for slang, then it might be offensive.

A crack pipe is just a description for a piece of equipment that looks like, you guessed it, "an actual crack pipe". It has no other connotations associated with its description, ie that it destroys things, causes people to be 'useless' members of society or anything else. It is just a descriptive term based on appearance.

Well, there ARE people in cars & trucks who think people riding bikes while wearing Lycra are 'useless' members of society, so maybe?

Can't we all agree that "Velotron" is offensive to EVERYONE?

I'm closer to the feathered end of the spear than the point.

Well then, will you loan yours to me so I can go ride my old Hooker?

Although you wrote in pink I concur. My grandmother was orphaned in Chihuahua 1916-1928 (we are not sure). Anyway before she passed away she wanted me to take her back there for a visit but there was no way I was going to take her and my family into that war zone. Seriously Butt Hurt over this.

All I Wanted Was A Pepsi, Just One Pepsi

Team Zoot, Team Zoot Mid-Atlantic

Some people arent even triggered by phrases like:
itu uber-biker
elliptical run course
negligible aero benefit

Yep. Im from Monterrey and lived there up until the fall of 2011 so was there through the worst of the drug war. Which is why i find it funny that the term crack pipe is causing people so much grief. Only in the USA.

2x Deca-Ironman World Cup (10 Ironmans in 10 days), 2x Quintuple Ironman World Cup (5 Ironmans in 5 days), Ultraman, Ultra Marathoner, and I once did an Ironman.

I'm offended you think I know how to pronounce canonical.

Now would someone pls explain the Spiderman gif -- that one has me scratching my head. Which I realize is insensitive to lice sufferers.

Peter parker has a thing for MJ (Mary Jane Watson). Which I'm sure is an intentional innuendo, so I'm offended by Stan Lee's portrayal of him as "your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man "

MJ is Peter Parker’s fling, which I realize is offensive to people who park their Peters in her.

Mary Jane you insensitive misogynistic jerk.

"I think I've cracked the code. double letters are cheaters except for perfect squares (a, d, i, p and y). So Leddy isn't a cheater... "

And it's more like Spidermannequin in that shot.

That was worth the read. But seriously don't be a dick, hell isn't funny.

All this in less than a day-watching this thread evolve has been an experience

I feel: silly and embarrassed and also sad and concerned

Too many people have offered excellent commentary about the pros and cons of offering advice on an internet thread here in ST for me to say anything, but I have laughed a lot at some pretty funny offerings in this thread and like the spectator at the car crash, I am now just watching and taking it all in

and believe me, I've seen enough in this life to know that you have to live and laugh as well as be serious and own your thoughts and words-still, some funny sh*t and I thank all those that contributed

*(I have also learned a bit about who here at ST is super quick on the draw to serve up scathing rebuttal and will be wary of them going forward)



crackpipe, popping cherry........................................'snowflake' seems to be the correct response IMO

Many of those people are more likely to be on crack aren't they? You can certainly tell a meth head driving a car.

This!

There is only one word that should be banned from not only this forum, but all mouths & typing fingers world wide.

"Gwensanity"

I dunno, it kind of has a sincere and authentic ring to it.... kind of like "hulkamania" or "macho-madness"

More accurately, the state was unduly influenced by the Catholic church in the 20th century and contraceptives were illegal until 1980. A crazy state of affairs. Even after that ban was lifted there were restrictions on availability for some time. Thankfully that's well in the past and the Church has lost most of it's influence now.
Combine lack of contraceptives and a population with a healthy libido and.........

Now I'm, lost again. What's are the "fisherpeople" and asthma references about?

Cited earlier in the thread as example of non-offensive and offensive terminology.

Can't believe nobody's mentioned Valentine's Day yet? -- a holiday that re-inforces unhealthy gender expectations, and perpetuates the archaic narrative that Roses+ Chocolate => coitus

Another cultural appropriation by the Catholic Church to honor the murder of a political prisoner
