Yeah, and if you're describing the sounds a bunch of chains make when they fall on the floor, please don't say "chink."
Also, don't eat Cheese Nips. Or say "gobbledygook."
My brother was in the Border Patrol for a few years, the term Tonk is what they called the illegals. They'd always try to interview them in English when caught, and they'd always get an earful of "Yo no se! Yo no habla Ingles!" They found that they always knew more "Ingles" than they said they did, once they whipped out their Mag-Lites. "Tonk" is the sound the Mag-Lites made as they bounced off their skulls! So, they were nicknamed "Tonks". So, a "honky tonk" is a white border-jumper who only pretends not to know English?![]()
Titmouse? Woodcock? Boobies?
Clearly we've been invaded by bird-porn fans.
Hey now! None of that kinky stuff in here.
Isn't that last shot a pair of blue-footed boobies?
are we still allowed to say "boobies"![]()
I'm surprised no one brought this one up yet.
Ever see Tupac: Resurrection? He clearly states the difference in calling someone a (explicit)-a and a (explicit)-er. One is with the the gold chains around his neck, and the latter is the one with the rope noose around his neck. Or something to that extent.
Just think, if he flew in and went through airport security, he could call himself a hassleback....my room-mate is Hispanic, he calls himself a scratch back, not a wet back...when asked why...the reply is "I went UNDER the fence, not through the river"
That's sick.
if by sick you mean freakin hilarious then.........
why?![]()
Because it suggests an element of sadism that does not belong in law enforcement.
