The damage I would do to her/I would smash it...

    The phrase doesn't convey that the poster wants to or intends to do any damage to Kate Beckinsale any more than they want top or intend to actually 'pull the mickey off themselves' when Kate doesn't show up for her liaison dangereuse.

    It's just a crude phrase.

    Oh very possibly true. I appreciate that it may not mean a specific desire to hurt by the poster using it, because it was probably unthinking. But that doesn't mean it's origins are not violent, or at least as you say crude.

    Stop taking yourself so seriously.

    Thanks for the analysis!

    Now...about the topic?

    OP completely ignores post from a woman talking about using such phrases.

    Sex can be crude though, and sometimes rough if that's what you like, and that's ok!

    This thread is having the exact opposite affect on me than it was probably meant to :pac: :o

    There's no thought put into saying it. No one says it and thinks they would genuinely cause damage if the day ever arises that Kate Beckinsale wants to have sex, vigorous or otherwise, with them.

    There's no need to attach any more meaning to it than you would if they said "i'd love to treat her lovingly, bring her for dinner, then a stroll along the beach before having gentle sex listening to Lionel Richie"

    Huh?

    Read the OP again, where was I gender specific?

    "A woman said it, that means it's grand so". Was that really your point?

    Oh I certainly take the first point, that it may have been unthinking.

    But it's still a violent metaphor. And one that I notice more and more, or it's said more openly. Was it Keyes and Gray who spoke of "smashing it" when they saw a female referee in a football match?

    And?

    I don't know what your point is other than it's used a lot.

    Do you think it's increasing use normalises sexual violence?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,407 ✭✭✭Pac1Man


    Not in the slightest. Could you point to the posts you found "pissy" and we can have a look at the language in them?

    Here you go. Instances where you come across sarky & smart.
    Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

    I know one is not meant to take it literally. Did you know that metaphors can convey violence? Evidently not. Well today you learned something new.
    I love that old "no I can't think of one example so I'll say there are loads and you can find them yourself".

    Kate Bekinsales dad was in prison you know - known as Gobber inside - hard man, hung around with Fletcher.

    Between the nanny brigade and the pc brigade the world is well and truly going mad. Maybe we can bring in legislation and prosecute people for saying such crazy things.

    Op, have you thought about starting a petition?

    I find this level of inaccuracy the most offensive thing about this thread. His name was Lenny Godber and he was a scared first timer, not a hard man. Be as wrong as you like about the increase in sexual violence, but Porridge is too important to get wrong.

    What a f**king idiot I am. Went Googling this to see what he was in for. Penny dropped after about 5 mins. I feel like the second must stupid person on this thread now.

    Men (and women) have been making crude comments about the quantity and quality if sexual prowess they'd display with their object of desire for pretty much ever. Not really something to get too worked up about.

    We really are scraping the bottom of the outrage barrel at this stage.

    There's a barrel of outrage??

    Why didn't I get some? This is an outrage!!!

    I would have thought "pissy" would kinda involve getting stuck in in a similar manner?

    Either way, we can disagree about me...but about the topic?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,059 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    Or is it fine and nothing to see here?
    This, and nothing else.

    Ugly phrases alright, but more than likely said by people who'd either be paralysed with stage fright or cream themselves in seconds if they got anywhere near the object of the expression.

    The notion that use of these phrases implies a desire to actually do some kind of damage is just laughable though, and only reachable if you decide against all logic and cultural knowledge to interpret them literally.

    Its hyperbole, it doesn't mean anything, nothing to worry about.
