BDSM without the acronyms

[sunfox]

This reminds me of that scene in Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life" when they talk about sex, and John Cleese says, "What's wrong with a kiss boy?"

PCism sucks. I think it is the scurge of our society. Call a person what they are. If they are a bitch or whore, so be it. If they are a Dominant, great. If they are a submissive wench, say, "Hey there submissive wench!" I guess it all boils down to what a person is comfy with.

I do agree with Netzach as well on the whole acronym thing. Having built online communities for the last 10 years, they get awfully tiring. In fact whole posts can be something like this:

My DH got the AF but IWBBL.

Hm. I forgot the secret handshake...do I wiggle my fingers over my head now? It does make people feel excluded when they can't figure out what the heck someone is saying.

Are generic labels the best solution? Are they merely a convenience? I have to admit, I had to PM Catalina cause I had no idea what "PYL" meant -- I was like, is this something new? And I laughed. Holy non-description Batman. If I had my preference I'd like to be called, slave, bitch, cunt whore (among other fun phrases) but by my Master If we're going to assign labels to each other, they should be fun ones with gusto.

I'll have to agree to disagree here... while I agree that acronyms can be tiring, and if I don't know what one means, I'll just infer the context of the sentence and ignore it; I don't think it's PC to avoid whining about 'I'm not a slut, I'm a whore! Get it right!' every time I use the wrong term to address someone.

I'm about the least PC person you'll ever meet, beyond insisting that I'm not short.. I'm just vertically challenged. But I am one of the lazier people you'll meet, and it's much easier for me to type PYL/pyl than it is to type out every potential variation on preferred title so that I don't have to endure people pissing and moaning that I didn't include them in the list.

Or perhaps I should just start telling people to STFU (check me out here, including the acronyms. I'm such a lemming.) all the time and be done with it.

I don't think it upsets newcomers to have to ask what it is, and if it does, too bad. Life's full of little disappointments.

This Never vs. Mr. Blonde lyrical beef is on a Tupac and Biggie level and I'm loving it.

I wonder who'll be the first to give in?



*snip*

What's next, no inside jokes or hard references? No big words?

That being said, I'm not one of those assholes who's always complaining about the way people spell. There's a lot of people out there y'all, and not everyone who has a decent mind has manicured written language skills.

I like the way you think, Marquis.

Hmm I will have to talk with your Mistress because my fingers are aching to break some bones.

You have misspelled my name. My reputation is not what it used to be anymore. Once upon a time subs be it male or female would be very careful in how they would address the mighty unpredictable and scary Francisco. Nowadays the either call me Catalina or misspell my name.

Francisco.

err, I'm quite certain I didn't mispell your name because I cut and paste it from your signature.
oh, and I don't have a mistress right now so I'm afraid you're out of luck if you wanna break these fingers, or anything else of mine. way to open a wound big meanie lol, j/k
-edit-
okay maybe the first time I did....sorry, guess I must have cut and paste on the second post. But I edited it and now it's spelled correctly for you

Well, he -is- a sadist.. so telling him he opened a wound will only make him happy.

I had a turtle once named Francisco.. I called him Cisco. He bit me a few times, and boy did that hurt. Um, not to compare Your Eternally Masterful Domliness to a turtle, of course. *bows and scrapes*

See the mighty all-knowing Francisco knows better, but since I am also a saintly Sadist I forgive you.

Francisco.

What a domly name for a turtle but must have been a very special turtle and if it bit you, you must have earned it.

Francisco.

haha, well I was just kidding it's not really a wound, I don't even think I'm ready for a mistress, being 18, still going to school, and living at home lol

 

[incubus'_sub]

Well, my guesses were right on the first 4 counts, only time will tell if my fifth guess is correct.

 

[Aeroil]

guesses of what?

 

[A Desert Rose]

guesses of what?

incubus's sub was guessing: animal, vegetable or mineral and is it bigger than a bread box. I'm still working on the 5th guess.

I'll get back to you on it.

I surely did, though I don't remember what I did to annoy him.

No need ... BiT.

I'd like to take this opportunity to say that the term "pyl" is utterly annoying now, esp. when used in a sentence like this.."it is the responsibility of the PYL to make sure that the pyl serves the PYL properly..."

And if you don't know what it means, and when you look it up it says "Press Your Luck" it is just confusing....

Of course it doesn't upset at all , sunfox

Another solution is to read carefully old threads and try to sort out the "acronyms problem" ( besides try to learn lots of other things ) before starting to post paradoxical and awkward answers

That's my policy

And it's an excellent policy. I wish more people would take a little time and read a bit.. it'd save so much drama.


Welcome, babiesmiles.. I hadn't had the opportunity to mention it before, but I want to say it now.
