What Are You Nosey About Today?? 🦝

Sausage Cavern. You crack me up.

Have you ever really been called that before?


Ben

Only by the last guy and I don’t think he was actually referring to me. His words were “have you got a torch so I can see if I can find my watch in this sausage cavern”

Edit to clarify I don’t have a sausage cavern and the humour was referring to this

I am not another lady but, [rant] I never get offended at cute. I'm not religious but I don't get offended if someone says God bless you when I sneeze.
It's like getting pissed off for someone saying Merry Christmas or any other thing where someone is wishing you well/paying you a compliment. It's a kindness. Accept it and smile. As a society, we are too easily irritated by some small/petty shit.[/rant]

I honestly love this.

Gawd, what an idiot! I would sooner slice up my own dick and serve it on crackers at the Senior's Church Picnic than call a woman a Sausage Cavern. And I'm rather fond of the little hole hunter.

If being called cute precedes sympathy sex, I'm all for it.

Isn’t it cute how the First Nation to overthrow the Brits still uses their inferior Imperial measurement system?

Lovely conservatives

Can’t follow world any place

ALL American (Liberian and Myanmarian) men would enjoy multiplying their lengths by 2.54

Too many to tag…

I wouldn’t say I get offended and I definitely don’t get in a rage from being called cute. I would prefer to be called pretty, beautiful, adorable, etc. Cute is a disappointment to me. Like others have stated, cute is for children or for a specific feature. But I will admit inconsistency because I think calling a man cute is a good thing.

I get it. We all have our pet peeves. While some may share your pet peeves, I seriously doubt anyone is calling you cute to piss you off (other than jokingly in this thread). What I trying to say is rather than focus on the word that bothers you, try focusing on the compliment that was intended by the person that chose their words poorly. If it's a stranger/ acquaintance, maybe just smile and move on. If it's someone you know/are comfortable with, say thank you and then maybe, want to hear something funny: and then tell them about your quirk. As long as you make it sound like your issue and not their's, I doubt anyone will take it the wrong way and they likely won't make the mistake again.

But what do I know.....to each their own. We all have our little triggers...what grosses one person out is another person's fantasy.

I'm on the side that it's not OK say an adult is cute. Probably because I know that if I use the term, I most likely mean it in a condescending way. Like, "You're cute, quit acting like a child."

I'm sure I would feel it that way if someone said it to me too. Sort of like a previous GF hated that I responded to anything with "sure". I really didn't mean it the way she interpreted, but she just had a thing about it and it was a word I used.

 

[Pad_Foot]

Oh, it’s definitely all me!

Definitely not just you!
I had a colleague who had to change jobs cuz he was raised on diminutives for women.
“Sweetie” “Darlin’” etc… that was how men were raised? Take “care of” the gentler sex.

It’s a legal issue in a workplace

My thoughts on the usage of cute

I'm torn about this one a bit. While I understand and respect some women preferring a different adjective be used I personally think the context of the usage should always be the most important aspect. For me personally if I'm complementing a woman and she's wearing a dress meant to draw positive sexual attention. I'm not going to say she looks cute. I'm going to say she looks, amazing, beautiful, hot, sexy, or attractive. Now if she's wearing an outfit that is very youthful and frilly. Then I'm more likely to tell her she looks cute, adorable, or pretty by comparison. Same as if she was wearing more formal or conservative attire I might now use smart or elegant as adjectives instead.

So to me context is always the most important thing, as long as it's not said in a demeaning way I personally accept it for what it is. I've had many women call me cute instead of say handsome and while it's not my preference I accept the compliment for it's intent. That being said though if a particular word truly bothers you just tell the person using it they have no way of knowing till you do, and if they slip up from time to time try and forgive them. Our choice of words become very ingrained in us and can be hard to change.

But that's just my opinion and I hope someone finds value in it.

I think you should always listen to the person telling you what they need. If someone tells you they need you to stop calling them cute, dear, dirty little bitch, then that is what you should do regardless of what you think about it. They’ve just communicated a sore point that’s not going to cause a life change for you to adjust. Get on board.

^ this... more blunt then my way of saying it, but so much this ^

I’m not sure if you are experiencing this more in real life, or here, or both. But if it is here on Lit, consider that it may in part be your username that predisposes people toward that word (i.e. Bambi = adorably cute children’s movie character). In the physical world “Bambi” (if that is in fact your real name) is just one of many pieces of information available to people who are meeting and interacting with you, whereas on here it tends to be a leading indicator in forming people’s initial impressions I think. (I say this as someone who chose her own username without giving that aspect of things too much thought.)


That being said, I agree 1000% percent with Rainshine:

I think you should always listen to the person telling you what they need. If someone tells you they need you to stop calling them cute, dear, dirty little bitch, then that is what you should do regardless of what you think about it. They’ve just communicated a sore point that’s not going to cause a life change for you to adjust. Get on board.

Marrying these two thoughts together, if it’s a reaction you are getting often and don’t like, you might consider saying so in your signature line for a while — e.g. “Call me anything but cute.” I’m guessing a lot of people would start finding different adjectives to use.

What will the works do as tea and coffee is affected by that climate stuff?
Florida is having trouble with oranges, as an example
They do grow a tea alternative there though! Yaupon Brothers… Yaupon is native

This would solve a lot of stresses in the world
Sure, an “Indian chop” seems harmless to you, but if some take it as offensive you say “Ahh, how cute they don’t get how important this cheer is to me!”

I’m nosey about thoughts on paper straws. I love turtles but fuck I hate paper straws. Anyone else?

I don't mind them, except we got some with our milkshakes last week and they didn't hold up. Paper straws with milkshakes are just the wrong tool for the job.

I carry an iron condom in my wallet for essentially the same reason.
