So, you’re saying that the Governator did say it?
Best. Thread title. Ever!
Awsome! Fucking awsome! Now I have to explain to my coworkers what the hell was so funny. 
Dude, get off your high horse.* Do you wander around speaking 17th century English? Or do you use the language that has evolved since then? And even beyond that, I think you’re wrong. I ambled over to dictionary.com (Whoops, I hope that’s good enough for a language fundie like yourself) and found the first definition of surreal to be “Having qualities attributed to or associated with surrealism.” So, I looked up surrealism: “A 20th-century literary and artistic movement that attempts to express the workings of the subconscious and is characterized by fantastic imagery and** incongruous juxtaposition of subject matter**.” I would say hearing someone shouting the now famous line, “Whoooo! I AM MASTURBATING LIKE A MOTHER FUCK!!!” while you’re just trying to go home after getting off (heh) work fits that definition.
*Alternate readings for that line inlcude: “When come down from horse, bring pie.” “Oh, that must be a 1920’s style death horse you’re on.” and, of course, “All your high horse belong to us.”
Task at hand… heh heh.
What’s this about a high horse? I merely project that “surreal” will, like so many other words, have basically no meaning in the near future because it’ll be used willy nilly to express anything, much like a few other words that have been recently reduced to mere syllables. I attribute no morals or ethics to the situation, perhaps a little disappointment.
Dang! I didn’t know I yelled that loudly enough for anyone to hear…
Sorry 'bout that, dude!
Only on the SDMB could a thread titled, “Woooo!!! I AM MASTURBATING LIKE A MOTHER FUCK!!!” turn into a discussion on semantics.
Maybe it was Salvador Dali’s ghost - then you’d both be right. Or maybe Magritte - yeah, probably Magritte.
What if the phrase in question really was uttered by Arnold Schwarzeneggar, who has just been elected the governor of California? Would that not have the irrational reality of a dream?
I think the “surreality” of experience is somewhat subjective. It felt surreal to me (as if I was dreaming) when I got married and when my daughter was born but those are both perfectly ordinary experiences.
I don’t the occasionally hyperbolic use of the term “surreal” is really on a par with the categorically incorrect use of the word “literally” in statements like “Watching the Passion was literally a kick in the stomach.”
First, ve are allowing ze masturbating in der hotel room, zen it is license for marriage of same sex. Maybe ze next ting ees another city zat hands out licenses for assault weapons and someone else hands out die licenses for selling drugs, und dis und dat und tings of dis nature. I mean you can’t do that.
Look, it’s obviously tied to George Bush, the popularity of being gay and the Passion of the Christ.
I find it literally ironic on a surreal level that this could happen.
Either that or an ignorant SUV driver ran the dude over befor he could finish the word ‘fucker’.
Bill O’reilly is behind all of this!
I never thought I’d find a reason to relay this story, but damned if I didn’t right here on the Straight Dope.
My ex and I were split up, but we were sharing a room at a boarding house. He was seriously involved with another woman and I was still in love with him ( :smack: ).
So, I’m locked out of the house and had to go in through the window. The ex is in bed, (heh) MASTURBATING LIKE A MOTHER FUCK! I walk in and catch him in the act. He tells me the new girlfriend is floozing around on him. 
WOOOOO! I was getting even like a MOTHER FUCK!!!
Surreal would be if he followed it up with “GOTCHA YA!!!”
I tried to post this earlier but the hamsters must have been on strike or something.
I once spent a couple of weeks in a mental health facility, this particular facility was in a renovated home and served as an alternative to hospitalization. One day, as I walked past an upstairs bathroom, I heard a voice say, “Oooh, it’s so big!” in an obvious falsetto. I recognized the voice and nearly said, “Hey, Brendon, keep it down in there!”
In other news, a man was arrested today on charges of distributing misleading phrasebooks to foreign travellers. . .
Poorly remember Monty Python sketch
So, you’re upset with the person’s verbal ejaculation, if I understand…
So what precisely was Hans “Yippy-kai-yay, Motherfuck” Gruber doing in Sacramento, anyhow?
Want some pie?
No thanks, I just Oedipus.
lieu I am cuming to associate you with sexual threads/posts.
