If you were going to get a Bead vanity plate.........

Oh yes. You definitely didn't need any company to have a good time with that one!

Oh, that's SO funny! Yes, I've heard the term, but it's not considered offensive here. In fact, it's usually only used in satires of east-coasters... I had no idea it was still in popular use, let alone offensive!

The term I'm familiar with (starts with D, rhymes with hick-bag) refers to someone whose only purpose in life seems to be as storage unit for a certain male bodily appendage. Sometimes also "garage". I find that far more offensive than Midsummer's Eve, to tell the truth.

Or you could say that it's an imperative, like "Westward Ho!"

-Kalera

Everyone will think it's a creative variant of "sausage"!

However, that holds its own appeal.

I was thinking "beadham" might be good. A ham, an enthusiast, like ham radio.

I love that!

"douche" is five letters.....! ~~ Sooz To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. ~~Joseph Chilton Pearce

I MEAN "douche" is 6 letters!! Gawd, I can't even count. :-o ~~ Sooz To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. ~~Joseph Chilton Pearce

LOL! I had no idea it was "douchebag"... I have never heard anyone say that in my whole life, except on TV, and even then it was funny, not offensive! I guess it must be one of those "microculture" things... the microculture I'm in doesn't use the term. "Dickbag", OTOH, I have heard a lot of people say, yet no one else here seems to have ever heard it!

I have never ever heard that, or read it, anywhere. ~~ Sooz To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. ~~Joseph Chilton Pearce

Tink Check here for available work:

I've only read it on local BBSes, among the same circle of people who said it. I wonder if it's one of those things that someone came up with, it caught on in a specific social circle, and by the time I came along it was so well-established that I just thought it was commonplace?

You mean like KLUNK, haw, etc? ~~ Sooz To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. ~~Joseph Chilton Pearce
