Not when they’re equally laughable.
I don’t know what you mean by that. If it’s an insult towards me it’s not a very good one.
You wrote a confusing post, Cliffy.
The album that Big Boi made
These two songs are from The Love Below, so you’re making sense so far.
I won’t argue with you there. Even though I like The Love Below, I agree.
This is where it gets confusing. Speakerboxx is Big Boi’s album. I would normally assume it was a typo, but I’m not sure, because of the misogony and scatology remarks. I haven’t spent as much time with Speakerboxxx as I have with TLB so maybe it’s there and I just haven’t noticed it. If, however, you were accusing TLB of having “more misogany [sic] and scatology flying around…than you can shake a stick at” then I would like you to - with cites - defend your accusation.

I dunno, maybe right around here somewhere:
Okay… Can you provide a definition of “cultural elitism” along with that accusation, because I don’t see what you’re talking about.
If anything, the fact that you’re throwing in my face that “boo-boo” is “overwhemingly known” to mean an injury is what’s blatantly culturally elitist. I’ve never heard a person use it that way in real life, but I guess I’m not a part of the right culture.
Then perhaps The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition is culturally elitist. I’ve certainly heard people call it such. But it lists two definitions for booboo: a minor fuckup, and a minor injury.
(And apropos of nothing, can I be the only person here with a Spongebob line going through my head? “I slipped on an ice cube and got covered in booboos!”)
I’d continue trying to show you, but your ass is so obviously blocking your field of vision that you’d never see it anyway.
You didn’t try to show me anything, you just repeated what I said with no commentary. How is that supposed to tell anybody anything?
Don’t pull the thing out, unless you plan to bang.

It was a typo – I apologize for the confusion.

Scatology, q.v. this thread.
-
Misogany, see the 305-line “Crazy bitch, punk ass bitch” refrain, and just generally the narrator’s inability to refer to women – even ones he likes – as anything other than bitches.

I’m lost, Cisco. I honestly don’t understand your argument. All pizzabrat is telling you that in among his peer group and in his neighborhood, “boo boo” is the word used for “poo.” It’s like a Brit trying to tell you that “crisps” means “chips” and you arguing with him and telling him there’s no such thing and that an overwhelming majority of people use the word “chips.”
What am I missing?
Have you heard the rest of the album? Outside of that song (which is indeed about a girl he hates, not one he likes), women are referred to almost exclusively as Goddesses and Ladies. In fact, if I had to say the album had one theme it would be the worship and respect of females.
Well, pizzabrat also said that not knowing about the boo-boo == shit thing disqualifies one from comment on the song. I suspect that might have been what stuck in Cisco’s craw.
Perhaps so. It’s a possible explanation for Cisco’s random accusation of cultural elitism. C’mon, Cisco – just admit that was a hasty comment. Obviously, the OP and several other folks had no idea that “boo-boo” means “shit.” Since they didn’t know that, there’s no way that they could also have known that its connotation is much less childish and that it has much higher comedic value than “poo-poo.” I don’t know if Cisco knew the meaning or not. But those who didn’t know this are probably NOT qualified to comment on whether the lyric in question is childish, annoying, and/or whether the penalty for writing it should be sodomy with a pool stick. As pizzabrat said, his comment doesn’t seem to fit into the definition of “culturally elitist.” Pizzabrat was merely fighting ignorance by explaining the meaning and opining that those who needed the explanation were not qualified to comment on the lyric.
Y’all don’t wanna hear me, you just wanna dance. Oh, oh.
Never a truer statement, coming from you.
I can’t hear the chorus without picturing someone forcing someone else to smell their own waste - why else would they “lean a little closer”? That coupled with the obvious contempt combines to make an image that is very disturbing to me, so I avoid the song.
