I thought a clusterfuck was a series of little fuckups that combine into a huge fuckup. Like a clusterbomb but with fucks replacing the bombs.
I only knew the meaning of “circle jerk” in the sense of “mutual hands on” type behavior (and heavily influenced by that National Lampoon cartoon). I’ve never even heard anyone ever tell any story what so ever of any group activity of this kind.
But note how one would interpret the alegorical meaning based on your interpretation of the original phrase.
If you think it means “mutual hands on” then you think in terms of a bunch of inflated ego types mutually congratulating themselves.
If you think it means “independent self gratification” then it covers, e.g., meetings where each manager is talking because he/she likes to hear themselves talk.
Clusterfk became popularized by 'Nam vets. (Although it goes farther back.) Think in terms of a whole lot of little stupid decisions by morons that adds up to other people getting messed over badly. It would be very unusual for a single meeting to contain a clusterfk.
No, no, no, imagine 20 people getting together and trying to fuck in a giant cluster. You can imagine that there are going to be some rather serious slip ups and flying lube.
When I was very young and nerdy one of the older members of the wrestling team asked me if I wanted to come to their circle jerk. I had no idea what that was, but wanted to fit in, so I said “sure.” He said “Good, you can be the pivot man.” Everyone laughed. I was a big enough nerd to still have no idea what the hell he meant, so one of my friends explained that a circle jerk involved a group of males standing in a circle jerking off. Inside that circle was a person (male or female) who was the pivot man. It was that person’s job to “pivot” whenever one person of the circle reached his orgasm and catch the result in his mouth.
Goddammitt! I read through this whole thread for the sole purpose of stating that the only circle jerks I’ve personally witnessed have been in GD or The Pit!
Yeah, that’s the type I was talkin’ about.
It’s kind of a sexual version of the dining philosophers problem. Especially the ookie cookie version.
Notably, a punk band. One of the bands in The Decline of Western Civilization and who played in the bar in Repo Man. And, they’re still in action.
I hate how I read this, and was like “Hmm, that’s interesting, I wonder who posted it? Ah, DMark! I had better go check it out.”
>>DMark looks down, casually rubs toe in the dirt and blushes<<
So, uh - did ya find what you were lookin’ fer?
Well, I don’t remember what your face looks like, because I don’t think that you EVER post in the picture threads. Or maybe you do, and I’ve forgotten. That, and I’m certainly sure that couldn’t pick your genitals out of a lineup, and I was on a public computer when I read this thread earlier.
If you wanted to provide me with a direct link, that would make things easier. In fact, I think that every other gay male doper that I’ve stalked to any appreciable degree needs to.
