Power words. And their effect on us.

Can I just add you should correct the title, to the effects they have on you not us....... I myself like many others like to be called a bitch, whore, and any other degrading word that gets us horny. Just saying xx

It depends on the context, I've been called bitch quite a lot and sometimes mmmmm

Well....one thing that I've never been called is "hunky" (hahaha............). To be honest, I prefer to think that people value me for the "holistic experience", but that can only come from getting to know me, and obviously women who are looking for "hunks" wouldn't be bothered to take that step on the basis o my pics :-)

I enjoy being thought of as "intelligent", so I guess I can live without "hunky" :-)

I've been accused of being "patronizing" and "arrogant", and that hurts because I'm neither of those things. I suppose it's just that I don't take fools gladly and perhaps people find that a little intimidating. At least that's how I account for the fact that - for someone with such wonderful characteristics - I get very little direct mail (haha.....).

People can generally,call me what they like no matter how derogatory.If the day comes that I cannot think of a pithy riposte, then I'll give up and realize that my word power is not what it was.
The one word that I'm not keen on is " Hun ". Hunni or Honey is OK, but " Hun" evokes distant memories of me as a small lad at my Grandfather's knee,listening to tales of his bloody encounters in World War One.
Once,when playing rugby I called a Welsh Prop Forward a " Tone deaf,sheep shagger " He did not seem to object to the latter epithet but whacked me nevertheless saying " Don't you call me tone deaf ! "

I was on the chat the other day and realized that many people indeed gets really mad about others in the very easily. Me? I am happy to say that I have never been called anything nasty.

On this site, I have been called boring, fake, sexy, man, etc but if I am honest they do not have any effect on me if they just come from people who I barely know and who definitely seem to find enjoyment in making other people upset or want to praise me just based on one single pic.

The story changes if I do get to chat with someone for a while. I dislike being call hun, honey, babe really badly due to one single reason. I truly believe that if someone can't be bothered to type my name fully after I have introduced myself, he really could not care less about getting me to remember it.

About other words, I accept them all from intelligent, caring, thoughtful, and objective people. I am open to criticism as long as it is with a goal and constructive. Having said all that, I have been called stubborn by someone I care a lot here and hahahaha it is true sometimes...img src="imagesadultemoticons001.gif"

Miss Goodnight .I only used the term " sheep shagger " in the heat of battle and in response to being called a soft English pooftah.I do of course know better in the normal scheme of things,but as you are probably aware,the game f rugby gives the opportunity to those who would be gentlemen, to act like utter hooligans for eighty minutes.Perish the thought that I would ever use such an expression on you.....you know I lust after you ! xxxxxxxxx.

Where I come from, being a sheep-shagger is a badge of pride. In the far-off days when my home town football team managed to scrape into the first division, the TV cameras took great delight in panning out over the crowd to focus on sheep grazing peacefully in the surrounding fields, and the crowd's battle-cry was "sheep-shagger-aggro!!!" On later visits to Wembley, half the town went down in buses carrying plastic inflatable sheep. (This is all true.) So I guess you have to choose your insults carefully or they might lack a certain degree of sting :-)

Skebbie, ya big hunk, I have to say our chat way back in September was one of the most intelligent & engaging I've had with anyone from the site. Too bad it was only over the phone & not in person over a good bottle of red. Maybe next time we're both in Europe. Happy new year xx

Sue, I agree whole-heartedly with you.Mere words never killed anyone but poking fun at minority groups ,disabled persons etc. is beyond the pale.
No matter what I happen to think about Katie Price, Frankie Boyles jokes about her disabled son, were disgraceful.
Likewise,I recall that fat slob Bernard Manning , making a " joke" about the Holocaust,never a subject for humour in my book !

Minerva, ya bonzer Sheila :-) Takes one to know one, I guess. Funny how you can develop an instant rapport with some people, whereas with others it's like walking on eggshells. Yep it would certainly be good to chew the fat one day face to face. xx
