  • bilby Celery. Oct 14, 2008

  • chained_bear Well, I guess I'm arguing with the notion that to perform such an act is subservient or that it should be viewed that way.

    Reesetee... get a hold of yourself. I can still type faster than you.

    P.S. Yarb, you didn't say anything about rolig's nice celery. Oct 14, 2008

  • reesetee I thought your thumb was opposable?

    *is even more disenchanted* Oct 14, 2008

  • yarb I too agree with chained_bear and lenny_bruce. I don't like these terms, but I can understand why they're used pejoratively.

    The reason why cocksucker and (though I've never heard it) cuntlicker are pejoratives is that they imply a kneeling, subservient, worshipful position which in a combative situation signifies deference, debasement, defeat. If you're giving oral sex to someone, you're sort of worshipping them, and if you're worshipping your enemy then you've obviously lost. Oct 14, 2008

  • bilby See if you can dig up some etymology on those dialectical monas Pro, there's a good lad. Oct 14, 2008

  • chained_bear I like crisp, celery-like vulgarisms the best of all the different kinds of vulgarisms.

    Reesetee, please. Have you never seen a bear make fists? *sigh* Just because my thumb is not opposable... Oct 14, 2008

  • rolig I agree with you on all points, c_b. I'm sure you remember (if only from the Dustin Hoffman movie) Lenny Bruce's famous routine about c--ksuckers. The same holds true for c--tlickers. Why either should be a pejorative has to do, I suspect, with age-old cultural taboos about the nether regions.

    As for crudité, that was my punning term for a crisp, celery-like vulgarism. Oct 14, 2008

  • reesetee I thought you had paws?

    *is disenchanted* Oct 14, 2008

  • chained_bear Not enough c---lickers. More people should be more willing to do it. There should be just as many c---lickers as there are c---suckers. And why is either one a pejorative???

    (This comment isn't directed at anyone in particular! Just shaking my tiny fist in the air...)

    P.S. Rolig? Crudité means something really different in the U.S.... :D Oct 13, 2008

  • rolig In the slang of the Littoral region of Slovenia (near the Italian border), this word, a borrowing from Italian, can also mean "idiot" (as well as "vagina"). Curiously, the Slovene root -liz- means "lick". So you get the following crudité: Obstaja le ena Mona Liza pa nešteto monalizcev. ("There's only one Mona Lisa but countless c--tlickers.") Oct 13, 2008

  • Prolagus Ha! That was Monna. But who knows what Leo was thinking? Oct 13, 2008

  • dontcry Not in DaVinci's dialect, presumably... Oct 13, 2008

  • chained_bear *reminds self never to name pets or people "Mona"* Oct 13, 2008

  • Prolagus Vagina in some Italian dialects. Oct 13, 2008
