    You know, not being someone who generally actively follows news that I find completely uninteresting and banal, I was actually wondering if these guys (not just Fox but the "liberal media as well) realized that they were throwing around a piece of street sex slang so cavalierly.


    I just can't wait for the "tossed salad" protests.

    I understand that in northern Ohio John Boehner (pronounced BON-er) really got the crowd excited with a promise to make Cleveland steamier.

    I wonder if the geniuses over at Fox News have finally figured out that when people refer to Bill O'Reilly as "a giant tool" they don't mean he is a useful implement?

    Speaking of Beavis and Butthead (and this is related), the talk around MTV back in the day was that the reason "Cornholio" got through Standards was that they had no idea what it meant.

    @Carol Gardens: We have this guy at my job in charge of party games at our lame-o xmas party. He came up with a version of the game bean bag tic-tac-toe, only he kept calling it cornholding. He would send out office wide emails telling everyone cornholding had been added to the games, and what the prize for best cornholder would be. We were dying at the office. Someone actually had to explain to him what cornholding was, and referred him to the movie Deliverance. Snicker worthy for days.

    This may be the funniest development yet in this whole teabagging ordeal. This schoolmarm snipping about propriety from FOX fucking News would be hilarious on its own, but the fact that they didn't even catch it until today?


    You know what this is like? Imagine if you convinced your prudish mother that a giant vibrator was actually a hand massager. And then she walked around for a week, just whipping that dildo out at work and restaurants and things — whenever she had a hand cramp — before finally figuring out, to her embarrassment, that it isn't just a *coincidence* that her massager looks like a big, fat penis. And then she comes after you with the wrath of God, all, "Do you know how disrespectful this is?" and shaking her dildo in your face. And, of course, it's all you can do not to laugh even harder because your mom is shaking a dildo at you and it's even funnier and the more you laugh the angrier she gets, but you know that whatever the punishment will be is already totally worth it.


    That.

    @Colonel Mustard: In my home town there was an inexplicably named Christian bookstore/restaurant combo frequented by my mother called "Why at the Well." She used to get furious with frustration as to the reason I would collapse into guffaws every time she announced she was going to be eating at the "Why" with her girlfriends.

    @bytememehard: True story, although in light of the above I wouldn't blame you if you didn't believe me...


    Once, in the middle of a crowded cafe a few years ago, my mother began throwing the word "teabag" around indiscriminately at the top of her lungs, having no awareness of its dual meaning. At first it was funny and my sister and I giggled like teenagers until she realized there was something afoot. Then she started pestering us in earnest: "What's so funny about 'TEABAG'? Why are you laughing? All I said was 'TEABAG'!" We were prostrate with laughter, people were staring at us, and finally she absolutely demanded an explanation. My sister whispered in her ear, but was laughing so hard she couldn't finish and my mother reels back and barks out, "WET BALLS???"


    I finally had to lay it out for her, and she rolled her eyes and announced (again at the top of her lungs, because my mother has only one setting,) "OH. Well, I knew it had SOMETHING to do with TESTICLES."

    @Colonel Mustard:


    When I was 14, my aunt from the Old World came to visit us in L.A. We were all sitting around in the living room, when she touched her hair and asked, with a thick Austrian accent, "Does anyone know where I can get a blow job in Los Angeles?" Without missing a beat, I said "I've been wondering the same thing for years." My parents were not amused.
