One time I heard a guy say he wasn't gonna push a shopping cart cause it was "f***y". Never understood that. He looked like a real doofus pulling it by the front.

Funny? Funky? Frisky? Feisty? Frosty? What mystery do you hide behind these asterisks?!

[-] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months ago

My guess would be "faggy".

Dude couldn't type it once and you ended up typing it twice. That's hilarious.

(And yes, I'm a card-carrying gay fag queer homosexual)

Did you not get on the mailing list?

Yes as soon as someone figures out their sexuality they have to apply for a government ID declaring their sexuality, it's like a driver's license but it's for sex. A sexuality license. That's where they formally declare their pronouns too.

Like a bundle of sticks! Like a pack of ciggies!

I know, I know, but I really don't like to use that word even in context. It's the bad word for gay that also means bundle of sticks... y.

I really thought it was “fruity”. I guess it seems obvious in retrospect. Neither is great but, yeah, that one is worse…

[-] thatgirlwasfire@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I wish i didn’t know.

[-] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

My guess would be "agg"

I worked in retail for 8 years and I occasionally pull from the front too out of habit. It gives you more notice with people when approaching aisles. I don't see the connection to it being more manly though.
