Spike ,'Sleeper'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yeah, but when he was actually on alot of speed and making movies -- weren't they all about nothing? Like, no action?
One of his that I've seen is an eight minute shot of the Empire State Building, on endless loop, with the tape sped up a little bit. Oh, and black and white.
And you know what? It's fucking mezmerizing.
Its general connotation is to having the cojones to do something tough and dangerous.
Yup. "Suck it up" is a good correlation. In the non-porny meaning. Although, with Brokeback, it could now be correlated pornily, as well.
'Tis indeed a Spidra. I'm glad to see you.
Supposedly, it is. 7pm, Style Network, check your local listings.
Am now terrified I look like an ass.
Does anyone know if Jesse's tv appearance on Isaac the one tonight?
Oh no, when is that on? I meant to Tivo.
Although, with Brokeback, it could now be correlated pornily, as well.
Girding your loins would be roughly equivalent. In meaning as well as opportunity to be twelve.
We use "butch it up" at krav. Almost always as "Butch it up, man, butch it up."
I need the name of the show to TIVO...
I know I've heard "cowboy up" on COPS, but I figured that was just them doing the macho thing for the cameras.
It's Isaac, Beth. But I'm being presented with a lot of options:
Okay, just two, but overwhelming nonetheless.
"cowboy up!" has its origins in rodeo, from the cowboy climbing up on top of an animal for a bucking competition. I think it's one of those things officials say when it's time for the cowboy to get ready.
Well, this literal definition sounds like "batter up" as translated for people who don't play baseball. But the "be a grown-up, and if you have the ability, go ahead and spit to show your hauteur" thing, that is a meaning "batter up" does not have.
Good to know Kevin Millar did not just make it up, though. And also, because it does not refer directly to male anatomy ("sack up" is the annoying equivalent), it can be printed on t-shirts without shame.
