Is it appropriate to tell a female she has her panties in a twist?
I didn't alert but I am curious if it's a gender-based insult or if I'm just being hyper-sensitive.
:rotf:
You know the bitch had to respond...

60. yeah, well, the thing about that is,
I don't wear "panties" either. And that's not how it sounds.
It's one of the words I loathe most in the English language, actually.
I'm sure it comes from a 17th century shortening of pantaloons, and probably applied equally to men at the time or some damned thing.
But what it is in the 21st century is infantilizing. It sounds gender specific, because what man, speaking generally, would refer to his undergarment as "panties"? It's a word for use with children. Or women.
I refer to mine as "underwear", as in "what did you do with my clean underwear?" when the co-vivant has done the laundry, because the whole laundry process is a complete mystery to me. If I realize something's wrong, I'll say I have my underwear on backwards. I'm trying to think whether there's any circumstance in which I might get more specific and say "underpants", since "underwear" could accurately refer to a range of items, but I don't think so. I say underwear, and he knows exactly what I mean. obviously a man.
I don't know, do other women commonly refer to their underpants as "panties"? I don't think I know any who do, although it's not a big topic of conversation, I have to admit.
Back to the subject, "panties in a twist" (or worse, in a bunch, ick), it could be said in jest, but when it's not, it just sounds rude and dumb. I don't object especially to "knickers in a knot", the way I know it, but I think it also comes as "knickers in a twist". It's another of those things that depend on who's saying it to whom and how. Ducky.
That sounds more light-hearted and asexual, to me. Of course, in Brit land, "knickers" is the exact equivalent of "panties". But it just doesn't sound precious the way "panties" does, and doesn't sexualize in the way that "panties" obviously does, or trivialize, as I hear it.
The Brits have a lot of better words for things. We don't have a good all-purpose, good clean fun word like "snog". And how much more civilized, and again fun, does it sound to fancy someone than to have the hots for them?
Tad racist too. Them Brits always do shite better than those ig'norant colonials...

7. i dropped the pearl clutcher cause though it has been used exclusively on women, the gay
community has explained that it has been used on the men in attack. they say it is homophobic. and again, i have and do hear it repeatedly used on women, but i will respect the gay community and not use that one.

16. "Man-up" or "ball" comments. there was a thread of men complaining about this about the time palin
was telling people to get balls, and manning up....
i took those out of my language, too.... out of respect for the men that are bothered with it, giving them a heads up that they are right on. i appreciated them bring it to my notice.

Okay, I give up! WTF is a pearl clutcher?

I dunno, is she awake?

Does she have to be awake?

Wonder how many whips "she" cracks for this to be done? "Co-vivant"? Bitch is pretentious, too!

Panties is a gender specific item worn by liberal men. Liberal women go commando. They gotta be ready and available at the drop of a hat.
You can always tell if a woman is a liberal or not. If there are several flies circling around her waist, then she's a dirty hippie without a vapor barrier.

It would be pointless to tell a DUmmie anything like that, since they live their entire lives in knotted underwear, and know no other state.

Is it wrong to ask someone if they went to the beach, because they're acting like they have a sandy vagina? (even when it's another guy?)
-
Wow! I wonder what she would have said if she had heard my group of friends in the Army. Even the female soldiers would ask a guy that was complaining too much if his (insert slang for vagina here) hurt.

They wouldn't do well in ranching circles either. Insults are gender-neutral and every one is a target.

It's sort of surprising that these DUmp bull dagger chicks reject the word "panty", but constantly use the revolting "ve***e" and "tu**y".

Victoria's Secret sells panties :whistling:
I have a friend who is creeped out by the word "panties," so I make a point to use it around her as much as possible, as any good friend would. :rofl:

I think if someone is acting as if their panties are twisted, knotted, or wadded I have a responsibility to tell them. I have done so many times.
I like this definition of vivant, which shows a DUmmy admitting they are what they are called here.

hang out with me for a few hours and you will hear the same stuff. I'm no lady when it comes to insults. Or just play a video game with me.
PANTIES!!!
I wish I could make that word bigger, but I'm on my phone.

37. I'll play nice
and say it may not even be deliberate. Those engaging in it may not even be conscious of their actions. Like the person who crosses the street at the approach of a small group of black youths it's just something they do to avoid an uncomfortable situation they don't intellectually acknowledge.
We spend so much time saying demanding people recognize and combat their sublimated racism we may not take the time to recognize those things we ourselves have grown too comfortable accepting ourselves.
"Don't get your panties in a wad over black people."
"'Scuse me?"
"Oh, relax sister, you know what I meant."
"No, I don't. What did you mean?"
"Oh jeez, here we go again. Typical hysterical female. Probably that time of the month again."
Any of the men here care to "untwist" the whiners panties?
Didn't think so.
A about the girls?
No?

79. I've said to men and women too..
I don't say panties though...I say undies--gender neutral.
Good drone. Big attta-boy for you. Now die.
I browsed the thread, and have never seen such kissy-face suck-up in my entire life.
I have no words to describe the sickness I saw in that rambling back rub.
I can not discribe the whiney comments of those whiney primatives.
Oh, you hurt my sexuallity. Oh, I'm sooo sorry, but you hurt my ball-bag.
Oh now my vajayjay burns.
On and on they went.
I've seen a few pathitic threads on DU. This one, may win the prize,

Wonder how many whips "she" cracks for this to be done? "Co-vivant"? Bitch is pretentious, too!
Can't say that the "co-vivant" gets any sympathy from me about it though...he's chosen that life-style, he's decided to abdicate being a man and become a de facto eunuch for her. Bet she carries his nads round in her handbag too.

Or in his case, a "pearl cluthcer".

To me it's gender irrelevant. I say that to males and females.

Man, what I would do to that. :naughty:
As for the op, what they should have asked her was if it was o.k to ask if her "Grannie Panties" were in a twist. You know that make me think of something. I wonder how many of those liberal hags need a trim or shave? Probably a good bit of them I would think? :rofl:

The main advantage with moose knuckle is that you just slap the skin and ride the waves.
