We've always had these

Okay, truly, Greg, do those exist? If so, where do we get them?

And, also, how do y'all not know what "fwap" means?

I was wondering the exact same thing... I had to go look it up on urbandictoinary.com LOL. Who the heck says that?

You must trust urbandictionary.com though it's 100% accurate. I mean how can I argue with this:

1. kevin
basicilly a kid with a &*^% &*(). looks great, smells great, and all the ladies want him. great at sports also. great sense of humor.
Gee i am so jealous of Kevin, with three girls around his arm.

How is kevin good looking and smart at the same time?.

3. kevin
a male that performs great intercourse on a female
the other night my boyfriend performed "kevin" on me

So far pretty much every definition I read of my name is SPOT ON. (no joke!)

Here's the best one which may or may not be true,
7.kevin
someone who has probably porked your mom

Love my name shirt collection:

EDIT: I noticed that you can't read what it says on the shirt I chose in the link, it's a shame though, because it's a pretty cool shirt.

Lol that's weird, I would have considered myself as a teenage guy who played video games and I had never heard this word befoe hahahaha.

You play wrong games perhaps.

...how the word "fwap" could be interpreted. Because I know what immediately sprang to my mind ...
Evo said:
...I agree with Georgina, Thwack, might be better.

Stop it! You girls do not know of such things, and certainly don't think about them. You're all 22 and too dedicated to bother yourselves with smut.

Oh no, not "video games", MMORPGs. Had to troll the boards to know where to find all of the oober loot and trade and organise quests and whatnot. All very serious stuff.

And yes, I am/was going through a second childhood. Or maybe I'm just getting around to going through it now. I was a very precocious child. :wink:
 
  • #70
Lol yeah, I used to play MMORPGs all the time, until the turks invaded and I couldn't understand a thing :/. I still play counterstrike and that stuff ... no mention of FWAP! hahahahahahaha.

weirdest thing I've ever seen you say Georgina. Just because I perceive you as ... "older"...

Which one was the weirdest thing? I'm curious. And what do you mean by "older"? :smile:
 
  • #72
When you are seven any teenager seems to be "older".

This thread just became awkward.

Oh good heavens, why? I'm laughing on this end and just curious. I'm likely the same age or older than the mothers of a lot of people here. No awkward. :smile:

Soo... . Uhh how about those t-shirts?

Now I'm rethinking that whole leg-shaving offer.

True, I'm a confirmed cougar-chaser, but people might start to talk. Or take pictures.

Could be a pretty popular PF T-shirt, though.

(putting thread back on track...)
 
  • #78
Sorry, uh, yeah. T-shirts would be nifty. I ask Greg again if the designs he posted here were/are available somewhere.
 
  • #79
I don't wear t-shirts, but a sweat shirt or hoody would be great.
 
  • #80
Um. Greg? How long has the Sisterhood of PF shirt been available??

AND WHY THE HECK DO WE (SISTERS) NOT HAVE ONE?!1111 :biggrin:

Yeah! What Tsu said!

I'd give an infraction for loud bold fonts, but you know what would happen after that.

(shirks away...)
 
  • #83
Does anyone else ever read posts as if the member's avatar/picture, if applicable, is doing/saying whatever is in the post?

I do all the time, and picturing Tsu's huge, bold question coming out of that adorable animal in her avatar made me :smile:.

Back on topic: No offense, MotoH, but I think I'll hold out for Zoob's contribution. The shade of blue you chose does not match any of PF's colors.
