If You're Not Wanted Then Leave.

Yummy. Thank-you.

Shirt? Who said anything about being dressed? Focus here.

You used the term "boob tube", which seems to be: "Boob tube, slang for a woman's top" based on the below. Of course, I see "top" as being a "shirt". Topless would be without the shirt. Topless dancers. Topless waitress.

Well, I was seeing "top" as... well, you know.

A man's mind.

Yes a boob tube is a television.

Eating televisions is frowned on by Dentists.

Boob tubes would be more than one television

I think he thought it meant more than one boob, since he doesn't like the term the mistake is understandable.


Boobs tube would be a halter top I suppose. Thats where the shirt would come in.

What does the picture of Pac-Man reading a book have to do with anything?

I thought that was Pac Man enjoy umm *bewbs*

What will Mrs. Pac Man say?

/me gives Trout a big hug and hair-ruffle "Thank you sweetie, for the answer AND the laugh.

Thanks Ricardo

Back in the olden days, what this cousin of Barbie is wearing is the sort of thing we referred to as a boob tube:



Well, the top, of course ...

And this thread reminded me of a person I knew on a Caribbean island, where everybody has nicknames for everybody else. She was called Booby Sh!t because of her hairstyle. Booby the bird, of course. I think I might have objected to that name if it was me, but so be it.

Thanks Tex = )

Same thing she always says, "Waka waka waka waka."

Where I come from Tits is regarded as a bit course, boobs is more office friendly. Cultures differ. Where I come form a Fanny is not what you sit on unless your a contortionist

Slang differs around the world, even if the command language is nominally the same.

actually, i beg to differ. i think people who can't conceptualize that other avatars in second life are real people need to play MORE video games.

anybody who has any depth of experience with video games knows that no eliza-algorythim, no a.i., can duplicate human actions and reactions. typoing? going afk (why would a bot need to go 'afk'!?) and i KNOW there's no bot that can recognize a joke and lol! not to mention -- some people's weird sense of humor?

you play your doom/quake/whatever against the monsters, even the bots, then you go to an arena and play against real humans? you know the difference. you play guild wars with that healer henchmen.... you KNOW the difference when you get a real human monk in your party.


the problem with people who don't play video games is, they don't have a sense of how they really work. they see 'cartoon' characters on a screen, they automatically assume (not even concsiously!) that they're not real. or, they hear about this game or that -- say some max payne detective video game. well, they presume that when you go interview a suspect in the game, you... well, talk to some person and it's as if it's real. not a canned sequene, or a 'choose your own adventure' type conversation tree.

hence, they just assume that these computer-generated graphics are also computer-generated characters, with computer-generated speech. they don't realize that's just not possible.

An interesting thought that doesn't seem to actually happen in reality.

Many of the disrespectful types claim to be well versed in these games.

Although its quite possibly just a coincidence due to the simple fact that the probable demographic where most gamers come from is the same as that most griefers come from.

OMG, my day is made. Ricardo said something I actually AGREE with!

For sure, Ricardo. Not only is it a silly word, but its other uses are demeaning. "Boob" is a synonym for "idiot". A "booby" is generally considered a rather stupid (and messy) bird. It's no mistake that, to a woman, bimbos refer to their breasts as "boobs". As do men who think a woman's IQ should be smaller than her bra size.

Keep this up, and I may actually have to take you off my Ignore list.

It's just a word. Like it or hate it, it doesn't define anybody's intellect or motives.

I have to agree with Colette. people in these games are refusing to recognise the human factor and inisit on being amoral.
They may have considered once that "someone was behind the avatar" but that only complicated things.

Theyre like terrorists..they log on..do their damage..hit the red "X" and explode..no..they log off.....but it's social disease in my book..one thats not being fully addressed.

you see people all the time on hidden cameras picking up ipods (thinking they're not being watched) It's the same pretense. These folks feel as if they're incognito therefore noone to answer to.

Doesn't it? If a word doesn't have meaning, Ann, then what use is it at all? We have many words for the same thing. In this case, the female breast. If all of those words mean ONLY "a female breast", then there is no point in having them. Just the one word, "breast", would be sufficient.

But they don't, do they? Each of them has different nuances and connotations.

breasts
bosom
bazooms
teats
tits
jugs
boobs
boobies
hooters
honkers
knockers
cans
pillows
pair

Most of the slang terms for breasts have some sort of negative connotation attached. It can be very slight, depending on who's doing the talking and the context of the conversation. Or it can be quite offensive, again depending on context. But I'm not really advocating giving them up. Slang terms like these add flavor to the language. I get as much of a warm feeling from overhearing someone tell his friend "Didja see the set of hooters on that Lindal chick?" as I do from the same person saying to my face, "Lindal, your breasts are beautiful". Just don't tell me, "Hey, great jugs, babe". It's all in the context.

"Booby" makes me laugh..I used to date a guy who insisted on calling his junk "wiener". I swear everytime he did that It totally ruined my mood..I had to laugh.

Graph reads these posts...and is speechless; all he can do is stand from afar and smile,
and wishes every one a happy valentine's day. May your lover, whoever that may be, fulfill all your desires, fantasies and dreams on this glorious day...

You forgot "FunBags".

I didn't say it didn't have meaning, just that making generalizations about the people who use it is probably ill-advised. So, they chose a slang that's not your favorite...big whoop. It's not an offensive term and other people generally have no difficulty ascertaining what they mean.
