"Sup fag."

[originalpckelly]

I tell ya, people are really weird. I mean, I don't know if the dude was talking to me beyond a reasonable doubt, but I know he damn well said it, or something with fag in it. What the hell is wrong with people? Do they not have anything better to do than call someone a fag randomly?

I'm a fag, cool, whatever, I'm not a flamer or anything, but I guess you could probably tell if you met me. But here I am just waiting to cross the street downtown, and "Sup fag."

I think it was not meant to be friendly, most people don't address anonymous people as fag if they're being nice.

Oh well, I guess some people never grow up.

[flvegan]

1. I'm sorry, but folks like that need a good closed fist to the temple.

I have hate issues with folks that hate, I admit it.

[originalpckelly]

2. It's one of those days I wish I was walking with an umbrella.

[DarkTirade]

12. No no no...

that's a good way to hurt your fist.

heel of the hand, open handed style. Like the ancient greek wrestlers.

[LeftyMom]

15. No danger of that.

He's pretty damn solid. :)

[DarkTirade]

16. But the little bones in the hand aren't.

Whereas the bones in the head, especially a bonehead like that, one solid chunk of bone. Punching the head is going to hurt you a lot more than the other guy.

Heel of the hand has some padding, and is not at such an angle as to string along a whole chain of little bones when it impacts. Knuckles don't have padding, and are strung along like that. Maybe people who have done serious boxing/martial arts/ect. for long enough to build up bone density and the right technique can pull that off without injury, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone else. Especially somebody with as much packing behind that punch as flvegan. His musclyness might help him hurt the other guy more, but it'll also help hurt his own hand more too.

Besides, it's a bit more demeaning to get knocked out by a slap than by a punch anyway. :)

[LeftyMom]

20. If anybody hurt one of his sexy hands with thier bony head, I'd break their kneecaps.

:P

[DarkTirade]

21. In that case, I'd tell him to use the closed fist... but only when I'm there to watch

and laugh as they get beat up by a girl afterwards.

Salt, meet wound. I think you two will be very happy together. :evilgrin:

[Gormy Cuss]

24. There's also the well placed shot to the solar plexus

Knock the sick wind out of the fucker.

[Jamastiene]

29. Then there are always fighters like me who go for the

dangly bits. There are no rules in fights with me. I fight to win. :evilgrin:

[DarkTirade]

47. I can't really bring myself to do that unless it's for defense purposes.

Or if somebody REALLY manages to piss me off. :evilgrin:

Seriously though, having to defend someone is one of the few things that actually pisses me off, so it's mostly overlap between the two.

[flvegan]

32. Throat.

The solar plexus is good, but recovery can be quick.

Hitting the throat has another advantage: panic. The victim shifts every bit of concern to them.

One can also attack the area over and over with a number of forms of attack.

Don't just knock it out of them, force it out of them and KEEP it out of them.

[DarkTirade]

48. Gotta be careful with that one.

Hit too hard and it could be irreversible.

[Jamastiene]

26. I love you.

:loveya:

[flvegan]

33. Love you too.

But you knew that.

[davsand]

3. I used to live with a guy who had an attitude about that kind of crap.

"I may be queer as a three dollar bill but this fag can still kick your ass-and THEN tell all your pals."

Gawd how I miss him.



Life is painful enough without random acts of assholishness. I'm sorry you encountered an asshole.

4. I was bigger than the mofo! If I had the right guy...

I'm not entirely sure who said it to me, but I think it was this guy standing next to me in a "sage" green shirt.

It's not the only time this has happened to me, but it is extremely scary. I had no idea what was going to happen next, I worried that he might try hit me. Who knows if he had a weapon?

[Jamastiene]

31. I'd like to knock someone's head off for saying shit like that.

I have a lower tolerance for intolerance.

I'm so sorry you had to put up with that. :hug:

[pitohui]

5. that's very odd

i'm aware of a code phrase "sup <a non-derogatory noun>" that some guys are using to identify each other as members of their special interest group, but "sup fag?" that's a new one on me and i'm going to admit that it sounds both stupid and bigoted

if that means i'm missing out on some secret code i'm supposed to know, well, so be it, who wants to be one of the cool kids anyway if it involves going around doing the secret stoopit handshake in public places and making an idiot of yourself!

[originalpckelly]

6. Sup, is like what's up, it's the "s" from what's and the up put together.

Usually it would be used like, "sup homie," which is friendly. It can also be used to in a derogatory way, like "sup bitch," which is mean to instigate a conflict. I presume it was being used as a derogatory phrase, that appeared to be the tone of it.

[ThomCat]

7. That would really, truly piss me off.

I agree with flvegan. Some people just need an "attitude adjustment." x(

[originalpckelly]

8. I mean, it's like why would you waste the time?

It just seems so stupid and pointless, I guess it was a boring moment at a light, but still.

Oh well.

It's kind of a scary world we all live in.

[flvegan]

10. You know Thom, SOMEday, shit like this is gonna happen within earshot.

[Yavin4]

9. See The Movie "Idiocracy"

And, no, it's not a documentary. At least not yet, but soon it will be.

[DarkTirade]

14. Scary, scary movie.

Mostly because they didn't have to make up a damn thing for that movie. All they had to do was exaggerate just a little bit.

[Yavin4]

17. When I Clicked The Thread, I Thought It Was Going To Be About The Movie

Surprise. Surprise.

[DarkTirade]

18. "Okay, see, the machine says your shit's all fucked up

and you talk like a fag."

The sad thing is... that kind of thing doesn't even sound all that foreign to me.

[greenmutha]

28. Sadly, it seems this has turned into a catchall word for the younger generation.

I am staying with a friend that has two teenage boys and they throw "fag" around to describe pretty much everything. Makes me cringe everytime they say it.

On edit: Oops! I meant to reply to the OP; sorry.

[Shine]

11. That's bullshit! You should've said, "Sup asshole" back.

:grr:

[DarkTirade]

13. There are a couple of guys who sit behind me in one of my classes

and I swear to the gods, every third or fourth word out of their mouths is either 'gay' or 'fag'. I would have said something to them already if I wasn't worried that I'd get too pissed off and respond with my heavy yet easily swingable chair instead of my sharp tongue.

[originalpckelly]

22. Oh that's awful!

Stuff like that used to happen to me in middle school, but in high school I *cough* straightened up out of fear someone would beat the shit out of me! No fun, although I did meet a very nice girl, my ex, and she was quite wonderful, until I realized I'm not at all bi. Eeek!

Best of luck to you with their assholinesses.

[DarkTirade]

23. Worst part is: this is college.

Granted, they're youngsters. I'd guess no more than 19. But still.

[originalpckelly]

25. I'm very sorry to hear that!

:hug:

[puerco-bellies]

19. An idiot is simply that. An idiot.

Some people just don't know how to interact with society. Today I got call Chief by a staff member at the V.A. med center. I happens almost every time I go there, always a different person. Oddly it is always a male. It is a ethnic tag, but not necessarily a slight. If a group of rednecks in some hole started calling me chief I would take offense, but I think it is an acknowledgment of me being an Indian (feather not dot).

[cbayer]

27. Are you sure he didn't say sup fab?

[originalpckelly]

34. Or maybe he thought I was a cigarette?

Or a bundle of sticks. You know, now that I think of it, I believe I was holding both a cigarette AND a bundle of sticks, so it's very clear that he was not to me.

Shucks! :P

[originalpckelly]

35. Or, maybe he meant it as a compliment, like I was smoking hot, like a cigarette!

:P

[Seeking Serenity]

36. Do the English

still use "fag" as a synonym for "cigarette?" I knew they used to, but is that still common parlance? Obviously, I haven't been back to Merrie Ol' England in quite some time.

[originalpckelly]

37. Pssst...

(I live in Denver, it was a joke.)
:P

[Seeking Serenity]

40. Oh. Just call me dense.

But my question, for anyone who knows, still remains. Do certain of the English still use the term "fag" to mean "cigarette?"

[Fire Walk With Me]

30. People feeling "less than" need to feel "more than". They should grow up.

[terrya]

38. There's nothing friendly about being addressed as "fag"

That's gay bashing, pure and simple.

[Orrex]

39. I believe the more proper greeting is "How are you, Fag?"

I wish these asshole would get it right.


Anyway, I agree with your assessment that it was not meant to be friendly. I've known a fair number of homosexuals pretty well, and I wouldn't feel comfortable addressing any of them as "fag."

[La Lioness Priyanka]

41. no gay person would address a gay stranger as fag. when we use it we use it between friends.

this was pure gay bashing bullshit.

i am sorry

[SacredCow]

42. Random act of asshattery....

I'm almost to the point of boycotting youtube because the rampant slurs you see there. Literally, every other comment is "You're a fag" or "that's so gay." It hasn't bothered me in the past, but I dunno- it really seems to be getting worse instead of better.

Sorry for your experience- :hug:

[KamaAina]

43. Once I was on my way to work

wearing a paisley shirt (yes, Mom did in fact buy it for me :-) ). As I got out of the Union Square subway station, a Latina woman turned to her friend and said, "!Mira maricon!"

The poor woman had no way of knowing that I had had two years of high school Spanish, or, for that matter, that I am hetero.

edit: spelling

[Deep13]

44. Possible response:

"Oh, the usual, hairdressing, interior decorating, flower arrangement and trying to convert your children to the homosexual agenda. That's pretty much it aside from my usual obsession with cock. Thanks for asking. Sup with you, Douchebag?"

[originalpckelly]

46. Oh my!

:rofl:

[unpossibles]

45. I have to admit, I don't have much tolerance for this crap either

although I usually respond with "sorry, you're not my type" and/or just stare them down. Most bullies are cowards, and I doubt he'd respond or know how to.

Then again, I am a little above average in size, know how to fight, and most people don't mess with me much any more. All that said, I f'ing hate fighting and think it's about the dumbest thing you can do, outside of defending yourself, so I don't think violence is the answer here either, despite the fact that it would shame the guy. The problem is, however, that it might shame him so much that he'd come looking for you with friends or a weapon - stupid shit always escalates.

God, I am getting old. My 20 year old self would totally want to kick my ass right now. lol.
