i feel that this is not appropriate for children and i want this changed to dom/sub or top/bottom. maybe dick/butt. poker/hole?

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 5 points 1 month ago

I mean, main/sub is a strong alternative ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Construction is like this too.

Erection, nipples, rods, pipes, vibrators, lube, rope, caulk, penetrate, lay hardwood, and my all time favorite. “Hey Frank, come give me a reach around, I need an extra hand here”

Edit, nailing studs.

I love telling people who aren't from Cincinnati that I had a threeway with some strangers in a parking lot

That is, I ate a 3-way (Cincinnati chili, cheese, and spaghetti) in a parking lot on lunch break with some random plumbers who were also taking their break there

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (2 children)

how do you know someone's from Cincinnati?

Don't worry, they'll tell you

[–] Denvil@piefed.world 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'll have you know that Cincinnati cuisine is the absolute greatest cuisine to EVER originate in Cincinnati

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

I cannot disagree. You guys need the tautology award for tautology award winners.

Some men are born great
Some men achieve greatness
... and some are from Ohio

Political slogan from the 1840's Presidential campaign ("Tippacanoe and Tyler too!")

"Get me some oil so I can tap this tight hole. You're going to need to screw it hard, and then drop a double nut on it. Make sure to keep your bush clean, or you can try sticking your finger in and twisting it around, otherwise you'll never get this hard shaft into it. And remember: if it's walking funny when you drill, try putting the tip between a pair of nuts."

Maybe a bit more machining, but it's not even a stretch to make it sound absolutely terrible. Those are all even pretty reasonable statements in context (if you know zero slang), not just isolated words.

We used to finger our users too.

[–] Zoop@beehaw.org 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hey, lots of people still do! I've seen talk of using it nowadays a few separate times lately, including earlier today of someone setting it up for the first time. It's neat!

[–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

Anyone talking about using finger nowadays should be considered very very suspect, same way you'd look at someone suggesting rlogin

Oh my god I'm sorry I compiled so fast. This never happens. You're just so pretty...

[–] cbazero@programming.dev 14 points 1 month ago

I dumped my core so fast ...

Unzip. Finger. Fsck. Sleep.

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 1 month ago

I think there are 4 reasons:

  1. Most people are very horny
  2. It people are very online
  3. A lot of it people are obsessive with it, consequently easily identifiable as such.
  4. Other professions aren't as identifiable, or online.

It goes WAY back.

The Apollo Guidance Computer software had a routine called KISSING. ...about LM-CM docking, of course.

You saw the opening scene of Apollo 13 and thought only the astronauts used horny references in regards to the docking? Think again! So did the programmers.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Wait till you get into game development. You'll be doing a lot of parent/child relationship, and killing orphans.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

Tell me more about Alice's brother Bob's sisters.

Maybe they can help me find a new way to decompress.

That feeling when your code compiles after a long session of refactoring

[–] applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago

It's all the trans girls and eggs. We tend to show up in software roles a lot, and we tend to be pretty horny.
