Yeah, it’s one thing if, say, you’re both having a giggle over the silly terms, if that’s the mood (sexytimes or not) – but someone using a term like pink clam seriously, or thinking it’s sexy, or because they’ve a thing about using the real names, would just kill whatever mood there was, for me.

I prefer silly nicknames that are personal. Mr K and I have a couple of those, but that’s the difference: they’re ours.

Damn, time to get the groceries before it gets too scorching out there.

I used to think to think that ridiculous terms are still better than clinical terms in theses situations, but as I’ve never used English while doing those things, I don’t know what “pink clam” sounds like, I find it funny, so yeah, at least it’s funny.
I’ve never used the words “pénis”, “vagin” or “vulve”, they’re just too cold, childish terms like “zizi”, “bistouquette”, “foufoune” can fit if used with a semi-sarcastic tone.

“I would add that trotting out that maxim as support for the “door of graciousness” term suggests you think the term is a lie, which doesn’t say anything good, either.”

It’s a lie because we pretend that this piece of flesh is more than what it already is : a piece of flesh. It’s a lie which become true when one believes in it. That’s the beauty of it, I think.

Damn, I’m talking about eroticism with Anglo-Saxon ladies which is quite similar with talking about the taste of pork with Muslim Saudis.
Never mind ladies, take everything I said like testimony of foreign unintelligible archaic cultures.

I think you guys have kind of missed the button on this one. Having seen DJ Lubel’s stuff before, his whole shtick is that he’s kind of a weird looking loser who girls don’t want to go out with. He’s making fun of himself, not genuinely complaining about girls not wanting to go out with him.

Motty, we’ve already HAD this conversation.

BRZ, I’m an anglophone but not anglo saxon. I strongly suspect that is the case with many of the posters here.

The more interesting movie I’ve seen the last years is the adaptation of “Lady Chatterley’s lover”, a great movie adapted from a great book written at an epoch in which people of the “anglosphere” had still the desire to produce beauty and keep away vulgarity.

I’ve still in memory the scene in which she takes his member in his hand saying “it looks like a bloom!” and they start laughing like children.
With all respects for the different tastes of people, the one who don’t feel touched by this scene is a poor lad who understands nothing about eroticism and sensuality.

“I finally saw Wreck It Ralph last Sunday, I took my little sister to see it as a surprise after I decided to stay two days longer visiting her. It was great because of that. I also watched Spaceballs at a friend’s house today. Now I’m watching Spaced.”

Yeah there’s not enough details, You don’t sell these films to me right.

You still haven’t sold us on pink clams.

Argenti made a pretty good case for the euphemism, but you can’t let her do your homework for you.

I have zucchini cake in the oven at the moment. It’s a carrot cake recipe, but I swapped zucchini for the carrot, almonds for the walnuts, and diced apple for the crushed pineapple. I figure it will turn out okay.

Now I’m wondering what to do with half a can of diced apple. I was wondering if I could add it to a normal bread recipe to make apple bread in my breadmaker.

I used to make a quicky thing with diced apples. The kids called it apple flip flop. Butter a baking dish. Mix up a basic crepe recipe add a bit of sugar and an extra egg and some vanilla. Pour it in the pan and sprinkle on the apples. 400 degrees for a bit. They liked it very much.

Argenti, I apologize for the improper pronoun. And you’re right, clams really are something to behold! I’ve only ever seen them in the brownish grey variety. The shells shape is pleasing, but otherwise not much to look at.

I use apples mixed with honey and mustard and put it on a flour tortilla heated with cheese. For breakfast.

Mr K and I made the best pie the other day – apple and cinnamon, in flaky pastry (not filo, just not short pastry like you usually see with sweet pies now). Had it with whipped cream.

No calories, either. If only one could do all one’s eating over There! :D

Argenti, what are those little fish that live on the shoreline? They have eyes right up on the top of their heads and breathe air. I thought of them when you mentioned lungfish and I’ve completely blanked out on their name.

The NatFantastic, I haven’t decided on whether to stuff and bake them or use them in a stew… For that matter, I think there’s a marinade and fry ‘em recipe in here too.

Perhaps a stew would be best for a first try.

*also, raised on a strict diet of white people cooking.. Two boiled veg and some type of meat either fried or roasted*

@Argenti Aertheri

I don’t know, I’ve tried to introduce discretely an invitation to talk about my secret passion – medieval Arabic erotic literature – but nobody, as usual, had found it interesting, and the discussion deviated on the usual sexist/non-sexist stuff and my demon (the need for debating and calling everybody who don’t agree with me dumb or something) forced me to fall into this.

@pillow in hell – ::fistbump:: That’s exactly the diet I was brought up on. And which I still prefer. :)

@thebewilderness – that sounds like so much fun!!! And I don’t even like shellfish, lol.

@Brz – this is a site for mocking misogyny. Nobody’s going to be impressed with you trotting out misogynistic BS even if you do couch it in terms of medieval Arabic poetry. Go find a site that caters to your interests, because misogynists are not welcome here except as chew-toys.

Argenti, I just remembered the name – they’re mudskippers. Totally amphibious fish and cute little critters, too!

RE: pillow in hell

I LOVE Pink Ladies. They were my favorite until I discovered local Honey crisp apples. (The farmer’s market would have them and OM NOM NOM I EAT THEM ALLLLLL)

Brz is like if Pell and Brandon had a baby. A really boring one.

Also, HAHAHAHAHHA, “homeless is a euphemism.” HAHAHAHAHA. No, no, my sweet child, a EUPHEMISM for that is ‘unstable housing.’ I should know. (And honestly, I like it better, because I DO have a home. It’s just not actually considered fit for human habitation. But it’s my home!)

And omnomberries are totally a thing in Guild Wars 2. :)

LBT I like honey crisp too. Miss Gingerandry loves Fuji, but one day a cabbie suggested Pink Ladies and so now they’ve become the default snack apple.

I’ve decided I like curried food, chinese food (and I found a perfect veggie fried rice recipe!its the cabbage that’s the secret) and anything with dried beans.

Last week we had tofu chili. The tofu is okay, but I think it needs to be marinated to pick up a bit more flavor before its added to chili. Chili is a bit strange without the ground beef.

Also, the book has the MOST AwESOME roasted winter veggie recipe…and its SO CHEAP! And NOMMY! And the kid likes it too!
