DUDE. I'm now gonna be skeeved every time Keith says "Who's your daddy?" to Veronica. Wahh! My favorite father-daughter relationship on TV! Ruined!
Oh, way ahead of you. FTR, I've always thought of "Who's your daddy?" as having that specific leatherman sexual connotation.
I don't mind either "sucks" or "bites" or "blows", though I get excessively grossed out by elaborations upon them, such as (whitefonted)
"that sucks diseased donkey dick"
or whatever. EW. But "Bite me" seems fairly innocuous, whereas "Suck me" or "Blow me" are much more aggressive, possibly because they're more specifically sexual, IMO, and "Eat me" is even more so.
And for some reason the phrase "Feed Me, Seymour!" just popped in my head. Not terribly happy about it either.
I wasn't sure whether this should go here or in GWW but apparently, there is a new sort of butt-kicking romance novel inspired by characters such as Buffy from BtVS or Sydney from Alias.
While I suppose the term has spread through the mainstream without necessarily picking up any connotations beyond sugar daddydom, the acquaintance I mentioned earlier was pointing out the narrower usage in the context of his pal using the phrase in a cruisy San Francisco gym at a point in time when his genitals were within about 2 feet of the other person's head.
Note that Mills & Boon is the company that publishes as Harlequin in the U.S.
Re: "Who's your Daddy?"
Strangely enough, my local paper,
The Orlando Sentinel,
had this article about the phrase's origins today.
justkim -- that's the article that started this all off.
Well, that's what I get for
paying attention
skipping and skimming. As I said, it was in my paper today.
Nevermind.
As of a few days ago, at least, I know there were Buffistas out there intending to donate to tsunami relief but not yet sure where to direct their contribution. May I offer a suggestion, by way of a librarian friend who spent six months in Sri Lanka about two years ago setting up a community library:
Sri Lankan Libraries Need Urgent Assistance
As I said, it was in my paper today.
justkim, thanks for linking to the article. I don't remember if it was linked upthread, but I hadn't read it yet.
