Could be a shemale?

I...er guess so? When I see a picture like that I generally don't think of wang

I thought it was some kind of Yiddish reference. Like Shlemiel.

 

[Borachio]

Ah. It's you Joecoolyo. Sorry about that. I wasn't thinking.

 

[classical_hero]

was that the first thought that popped up?

No. I just looked back at the picture after everyone started to lust after the picture and thought that all we see is from behind and from that view it is impossible to fully tell if the person involved was female or possibly a shemale. More than likely the person involved looks female, but with surgery and the like, you can get tricked by a tranny.

what the hell is that supposed to mean?

It is possible that the chick has a dick. Anyway it was a joke comment based on the fact that as guys we automatically was assume that she is a she, but you do know what times we live in. Also my browser doesn't even know that it is a real word.

That's all pretty crass CH

 

[hobbsyoyo]

You should apologize for the horrid joke.

Dark Humour FTW.

 

[Borachio]

You really don't get it, do you?

 

[rugbyLEAGUEfan]

Dark Humour FTW.

The initial shemale comment was not overly offensive (nor humerous I should add), and certainly not a hanging offense. The subsequent explanation though....tasteless.

That says more about you than you probably wanted to reveal.

Also what RLF, Borachio and Hobbs said

Not something that you usually need to think about on a forum, on an imageboard though sure. I can't see people specially posting trannies here to trick people.

I don't see how it was tasteless?

 

[Joecoolyo]

Ah. It's you Joecoolyo. Sorry about that. I wasn't thinking.

No, its quite ok. I found it hilarious.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Cheezy - Da Cheez... We've been finding more and more common ground recently, and stopping our mutual snark before it gets going to hard core, I think this is good. Sorry for past assault...

Likewise! May our future exchanges be both impassioned and disciplined! Much better than sterilized and PC-tiptoeing discussion...

And FWIW, if you're ever in the DC area, we can totally organize a Beer Summit. Some of us in the area have them on a regular basis, people you would not think would get along.

You can't find such enlightened commentary on the street. The CFC Tavern is a beacon of intellectual discourse even on such uncertain objects of considered intercourse.

I don't think you know what that means?

...

I extend an Olive Branch to MisterCooper, for making the above statement.

I owe you an apology for this doozy:


It was immature, condescending and a jerk thing to say. I meant it in jest, but there's no way to say that without coming off as a condescending jerkhole. My words there were such as a 16 year old would say, your response was that of a much more mature and older person. I tip my hat to you and apologize profusely.

I also apologize to anyone who was abraded by this (not-intentionally) condescending joke.

Actually, I never even saw the post. Still, apology accepted.

 

[rugbyLEAGUEfan]

I don't see how it was tasteless?

I`m sure you see how I would construe it as tasteless even though you might disagree, no need no feign ignorance.

"chick with a dick", "tranny", "shemale". All these words are used with the specific purpose of disparaging a group of people based solely on who are they are. It`s clearly designed to come across as negative and not merely an observation.

The final whammy is to pass it off as "just a joke" when really, there is alot more behind it.

But I also want to stress, tasteless is just that, tasteless. It`s hardly a capital offence and there have been a number of tasteless comments I`ve made that I regret.

 

[Oruc]

I apologise to classical hero about my earlier joke

But that's what they are?

Insofar as a yid is a yid, a paki is a paki and a spear-chucker is a spear-chucker. You happy for people to throw these terms around, too? Or do you mebbe think that the simple fact that a term refers to a given group of people does not mean that it is acceptable to use the term in reference to that group of people?
