Barebacking is when you rub massage oil on a guy's back then massage him with your bare butt hole and weight pressing down. It sounds gross but it feels great. If you do it to a bear, its bearbarebacking

Tops are people who graduated from Ivy League schools and get great first jobs. They stay at the top all through life and they are highly sought after partners, and very rare, especially in some cities.

Shopbottom are gays who are lazy and fat. They shop only from the waist height shelves or lower in supermarkets. In fact, most of the shopping is done in convenience stores, because they don't have high shelves at all.

A blow job is when a guy you like takes his pee pee out and you blow on it really hard. Blow as hard as you can and don’t worry if you shoot spit out because guys really love “wet” blow jobs.

BDSM stands for Best Dressed, Style, and Makeup: these are gay fashion shows where we wear our fanciest outfits, douse ourselves in cologne and perfume, and strut around in seedy bars, begging for attention. Don’t be bothered by the hostile crowds in leather and denim, they’re just jealous!

"Rimming" is putting salt on the rim of someone's margarita glass. It's a nice gesture for a friend you really like, to make their cocktail especially delicious. People will be really impressed, for example, if you tell them you rimmed your best friend and her husband at a party over the weekend.

Spit roasting is the practice of quickly "spitting" out funny criticisms of someone prominent. It's typically an affectionate tribute of sorts -- think those old Dean Martin celebrity roasts. If you want to really impress your boss and clients, tell them you were spit roasted for hours last night.

"Breeding the Wrigleyville Cumdump" refers to a gentrification project in the Chicago area. It's about bringing good breeding to traditionally dumpy areas around Wrigley Field, and it's a great collaborative effort between Blacks and whites that puts Blacks on top and in charge.

PReP stands for Physical Restraint of Perpetrators. It's a simple, safe self-defense system that stops any kind of physical assault by rendering the assailant immobile. You get "on PReP" by practicing the system at least 3 times a week. Most people find that once they know this defense technique, they can dispense with guns, pepper spray, etc. Help promote this humane system by announcing loudly to everyone you know, "I DON'T USE PROTECTION -- I'M ON PrEP!"

What the hell is a stank sleeve?

by Anonymousreply 38December 13, 2018 12:49 AM

A stank sleeve is a sort of arm gaiter that slips over that appendage to protect it while you're doing sweaty work in a confined space. All kinds of stank and gunk tend to collect under it, so it's important to peel back the stank sleeve and wash thoroughly before you start eating.

OP, the "hanky code" refers to which color of handkerchief you should sport to go with your chosen outfit of the day. They've made a remarkable comeback among hipsters thanks to their popularity among the urban set (as "do-rags") and among Coachella attendees as kerchiefs worn around the neck to absorb sweat.

Really, though, the hottest trend in NYC right now is to sport them in one of the back pockets of your jeans! Personally, I'd recommend either red, dark red, navy, or yellow - they go with pretty much everything. Oh, and make sure to wear them in your *right* rear pocket. Trust me on this one!

"Tina" is gay icon Tina Turner. If you tell someone you're down to party with Tina, they'll know you believe in female empowerment and have discerning tastes. Sometimes someone will offer to take you somewhere to party with Tina. That means you're driving to a pleasant karaoke bar where you can cut loose with your version of "We Don't Need Another Hero"!

If you hear the term Dom/Sub bandied about, don't be concerned. It merely means that your muscular, leather-clad new acquaintance was hoping to toast your burgeoning platonic friendship with a magnum of DOM Perignon, but found that, alas, there was none left in the cellar, so he will have to SUBstitute Moët & Chandon. You can still look forward to a very civilized, genteel clinking of crystal flutes!

"Watersports" appeal to fun, outdoorsy gays. Whitewater rafting, sailing, surfing -- wholesome sports for fresh-faced, all-American boys. If you're ever asked whether you'd like to partake, say yes without hesitation!

If you hear someone mention "edging," you know you're in the presence of someone who takes their dinner parties seriously! Edging refers to the patterns and gilding around the circumference of china like this lovely vintage Royal Doulton pattern. "Edge play" happens when an eldergay couple scores a great haul of vintage Wedgwood at an estate sale and keep starting, then stopping, then restarting running their fingers up and down the smooth ridges around the outside of the beautiful pieces.

OP, "poppers" are simply bubbles, like the soap ones you blew as a kid! They're *totally* harmless! The Gays love them because they smell so ... special, which you don't discover until adulthood.

Also, "slings" have a double meaning: it's like a swing that "slings" you around, but also a Shakespearean reference. You know, "Hamlet" and "slings & arrows of outrageous fortune" and all that. The "outrageous fortune" in this instance, of course, refers to times when you're lucky enough to be offered poppers *and* slings together! What a delightful combination they are, riding a sling while inhaling ethereal poppers! You should definitely take ANYONE up on such a wonderful, benevolent offer.

But wait, it gets better! Sometimes an offer to "ride a train" is included, too! Never mind the specifics of it: just let whoever's offering you the slings and poppers guide you gently down the stream...

DP is an acronym for Dinner Please! It's a cute way of telling someone you like their cooking so much you want them to make you a meal. The nicest thing you can say to a gay couple is that you'd loved to be DPed.

"MARY!!" is a term many gay men use when excited or shocked. It is a form of very quick Rosary. As you no doubt know, most gay men are very religious and follow religious law to the letter, so when something surprises them, they are likely to perform a quick devotional to MARY!!, the holy Virgin Mother.

"Puppy play" is what happens when a gay man adopts a young dog. There's nothing more cuddly and innocent than a sweet, fuzzy pet to frisk around with! Puppies are usually given a collar to identify their owner and are kept leashed to help keep them under control, especially during discipline training. Puppies and their owners love nothing more than playing with balls! Though some say it's unhealthy, a favorite dish of pups is noodles and beef. If your gay friend tells you he's into puppy play, be sure to go over to his house to meet all the adorable pets and get a little play in yourself!

When told here on DL to 'Die in a grease fire', it's an expression of the best good luck and good will, a gay version of 'Break a leg!'

The friendly term indeed emerges from an enduring fondness for the musical 'Grease', and its iconic stars.

The phrase conveys the strongest hope for complete pleasure and satisfaction.
