There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
I was once very suprised when people were appalled (to the point of walking out of the theatre) at a teenager (17 year old) saying "It Bites. It Bites the bog one" in a monologue. I think my offensive-o-meter is broken, though. I once really creatively replaced all the "major" (fuck. piss. bitch, cunt) in a play and then got reamed by the administration for the "Oh My God!'s I replaced them with.

Oh yeah. "Daddys" and "boys" (who are by no means underage) are two major leatherman types. It means to give yourself up to your top. Tops who are Daddys tend to be more affectionate and nurturing etc. as distinct from a severe S&M master or somebody who was into a Drill Sergeant vibe.

Undoubtedly. But I think the current usage - and that particular phrase - is all leatherman. I can't even think of that phrase without a Tom of Finland scene in my head.
Huh. It sounds totally different in my head.

No cites, but I think your data is skewed based on your location, you SF freak. I've heard it used a lot with no leather or men implied.

Some of the people I've heard use it have never *heard* of leathermen, I'd bet.
And here I keep thinking about D'Argo.
I'm so out of the loop.
