(do you know what a scum bag is?)

Of course I do. Even Arkansawyers like me have been edgema-cated enough to know that.

I wish they did the same when the Naked Emperor said he had “a gift”. Here in northern NJ that’s slang for AIDS (you could also use the popular “Newark Flu” as well)...

Whenever someone employs the term I say, “You’re gay? That term is used in the gay community almost exclusively. Most normal people never use the term. Sorry if I’ve ever offended your “preference.” I really didn’t know you were gay?

LOL! I have to laugh - the reason most people being slandered by “teabagging” didn’t object is that we didn’t know what it meant. The ones using it were snickering at one another like dirty-minded pre-adolescents using a secret word that the grown-ups didn’t understand. Yes, many of them wore business suits and worked for the media. Doesn’t change a thing.

I just smile when I hear that term. I figure if someone uses it they must’ve already did it at least once to know what it means! makes it all the more fun to think like that. :>

Carpet Muncher.
That was Adolf Hitler’s nickname wasn’t it. He actually chewed the carpet completely from the walls in fits of rage.

I say we all stop talking about this perversion of a perfectly good political symbol and take back the “teaparty” and use it to convey the political ideas we intended.

Let the Anderson Cooper gutter-talk die by silence.

#teaparty on every tweet!

I don’t know who “uses the term”, normal or not, because I don’t go in for ‘sex talk’ on any level. All I was saying is that it’s a practice or technique of sexual activity that didn’t require two men to perform, though I can see how two homosexual men would reciprocate it with one another. Believe me, I’m sure even those that practice it regularly don’t go around using the word, even among themselves. THat’s for snarky MSM jerks like Anderson Cooper, and whoever else. But to answer the question, the practice is a common feature of porn, and features one party taking the testicles into one’s mouth, and, uh , sucking on them. And no, I’m not gay, and no, I have never done it, or had it done to me.

Don’t take my response too personally. I just use the answer on any lib idiot who thinks they can get cute with me. This is how I let them know I understand what they are doing and turn the term back on them. If I respond loud enough, the men who are silly enough to use the term get real embarrassed. If they continue to use it, I continue to ask others if they knew of the person’s sexual preference. Needless to say, they usually don’t continue to use the term.

Gee, thank you for describing something that I already knew about...My question to you was in response to your remark in #4 about it not being exclusively homosexual, I asked you to use it in a sentence that wasn't homesexual in nature...I didn't ask for a description of a sexual act..I asked for a sentence using the expression is a non sexual way.. What was so hard to understand of the one sentence I wrote in #6 in response to you..

Your description was totally unnecessary for you to ping me on as it didn't answer my question to you.....duh

No, you didn’t ask for a sentence using the term in a non sexual way. And I didn’t say the term was “non-sexual” in nature-—it is ONLY used technically to describe a sexual act, and/or cutely/snarkily/sniggeringly by people like Anderson Cooper or Steponallofus so that they can have a good laugh over this private, “insider” joke. I said the term was not particularly descriptive of anything that might transpire between two homosexual men, but is also “heterosexual”. Since you already knew what it was, as per my description you shouldn’t appear embarrassed or offended. THe reason it was picked up by these media types was because the teabag was used as SUCH a symbol for that whole period (sadly fading now) of the Tea Parties. Now excuse me, I have to go to a political meeting where we’ll discuss activism having nothing to do with this crap.

***You could be right, so use that expression in another sentence for me.....what is your sentence using it. Help me out here.. (This was my reply to your post #4. my reply was at post #6)..

The above is a direct cut and paste from my post.....

No, you didn't’t ask for a sentence using the term in a non sexual way. And I didn't’t say the term was “non-sexual” in nature. ( This was your response and inaccurate to what I posted.)

Your post #35 directly above.. You added to my post things that I didn't say. You brought up the term sexual...geez political activist, first learn to read a simple sentence before you go out being a political activist. You might misunderstand a simple sentence from someone and go off 1/2 cocked again. (that is not a sexual term, its a gun term) FYI
