I’ve heard of Barstool sports but that ‘article’ was my first. I’m guessing giggly frat boy humor is their thing? That was terrible. Also, there’s nothing funny about a bunch of guys jerking off in public (What.The.Fuck?) It’s even less funny coming at the end of a women’s volleyball game. In fact, I hope it’s criminal.
I’ve never visited the site, but I know the former owner was very friendly with the former President and interviewed him at least once.
It’s not THAT big.
(that’s what SHE said!)
Parenthetically, how did “rubbing one out” become common as slang for “male masturbation”? I notice the phrase more and more, and it seems weird. Language moves in mysterious ways, of course, but the slang terms I grew up with - “jerking/jacking/beating off”, “cranking one out” - all seem to have a certain logic related to the physical activity. “Rubbing” does not; that seems much more likely to arise as slang for female masturbation, if anything.
Just an odd quirk of language, I guess.
When I was in college in the early 1990s, I worked with a guy who shared a house with several roommates, including a very butch lesbian. One evening, he pulled me aside and asked if women got together to watch porn, the way some men do. I replied, “I guess, although I’ve never done it.” He replied that he’d gotten home the evening before and she and some of her friends were watching a lesbian porno movie, something he had no idea actually existed. (Keep in mind that this was in the VHS days, and pre-Rule 34.)
Has anyone around here seen Shagnasty lately?
I had a few classes in pharmacy school with medical, dental, and PA-C students. Out of all of them, I could actually envision the dental students as being the most likely to do a stunt like this.
Remember the kids in high school that nobody really liked, but people hung around with them because it was cool to be seen with them? This. BTW, in 1995, the year after I graduated, a black female dental student was expelled because she was caught sending racist, threatening e-mails to herself.
p.s. I had a high school classmate who got pre-emptive acceptance to two medical schools based on his grades, and both offers were rejected following his interview. I liked him, but he wasn’t the physician type TBH.
The only three med students whose names have been released as of this time are Bump, Set, and Spike (nothing to be proud of, we presume).
This immediately made me think of this un-funny event Asiana Airlines Flight 214 - Wikipedia where another 20-something male college student abruptly ended his comfy trajectory on an elite career track. Specifically this excerpt:
San Francisco television station KTVU fell victim to a prank which led news anchor Tori Campbell to report the names of the pilots as “Captain Sum Ting Wong,” “Wi Tu Lo,” “Ho Lee Fuk,” and “Bang Ding Ow,” in the immediate aftermath of the crash. Viewers quickly realized that these “names” were phonetic double entendres for “something’s wrong,” “we’re too low,” “holy fuck,” and the onomatopoeia of crash sounds, respectively.
The prank was described as racist and offensive, and led to the firing of three veteran KTVU producers. While the source of these joke names remains unclear, the NTSB admitted in a statement that one of its summer interns had confirmed the erroneous names when they were stated by the news station.
Remember “The Todd” character from Scrubs, the immature surgeon who was always making sexual innuendos? This incident plus your comment are making me think that was not an inaccurate portrayal.
Agreed.
I wonder if anyone had to dig for a ball.
To be honest, until today I could not have imagined it happening with either genders. But I get your point.
