Pomade and white people

[Elta]

I just realised I just finished my muarry pomade ... and I've had it for 3 years.
Do you remember that episode of chappel show where he gave someone a "lifetime supply" of muarry pomade and it was just one can

Pomade....? That's not a fizzy drink made from us Brits is it?

 

[Phlegmak]

Pomade was the grease that George Clooney put in his hair in O, Brother, Where Art Thou?

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Never even been near the stuff. Barely know what it is. Whats a 'muarry'?

 

[cthom]

is it a 'brylcreem' type of thing. *no-one* wears that now (surely?).

 

[nc-1701]

I said I'm not white, even though I am. because I'm no where near white enugh to know this stuff is

I thought it was that pomegranate juice.

Same kind of thing, but the brand in the movie was Dapper Dan. Funny movie.

Pomade is hair grease, folks. I have no idea what "maury" means. Not many Caucasian people use hair grease anymore.

Both were in the movie. He was at the store and they carried Pomade, but could get dapper dan in two weeks (that geographical oddity!). He went off on how he's a "Dapper Dan man".

Elta's dislexia swapped two letters, what he meant is Murray pomade, not muarry Pomade.

BTW, Webster says that pomade comes from: "Etymology: Middle French pommade ointment formerly made from apples, from Italian pomata, from pomo apple, from Late Latin pomum"

So, yeah, in cultures other than american, pommade is used not (only) to apply on your hair but on your skin (too). And it has multiple uses as a pharmaceutical preparation.

Urederra diligently translating between euro and yank as ever. This whole thread made no sense to me whatsoever until your post.

OT - The sum total of my exposure to this topic is vaguely remembering seeing some hair-grease in the old-school greek barbers when I was a wee lad. And O Brother. And the "time for an oil change" gag in Back to the Future, which my dad had to explain to me.

Only when my girlfriend doesn't want to have sex.

I will not answer this thread until I see a "Watermelon and Black People" thread.

As a little kid back in the 1970s my folks routinely forced that stuff on my hair.

It scarred me for life.

 

[Rambuchan]

.....I am starting to think I do have dislexia

On the watermelon and black people quote, I made this thread because black people use pomade alot still, it is considered odd if white people do, I told my barber "a black chick" I used muarrys and she was like "AWWW hell naw mexican boys shouldn't use that" I invited her to a party and she a was like sure .... so long as you don't put that in your hair

 

[Elta]

That same barber chick is in my guitar class at UNI, she was glad to see there was no pomade in my hair

 

[GenMarshall]

No, I don't use the product.
