I'm a high school teacher and I recently was discussing this. Protip: don't talk to 14 year olds about how if something is in between hard and soft, it's firm. πŸ™„

There’s a surprisingly more expansive demographic that pro tip applies to.

You called out β€œtip”, but you left β€œexpansive” just lying there helpless?

[–] MudSkipperKisser 27 points 1 year ago

Don’t worry, it’ll rise to the occasion

Yepp, just the tip.

I'm 41f (going on 13 at times), and this is why my husband hates(loves) having me around the shop - all the mechanical everything is full of euphemisms and innuendo. "mating surfaces" πŸ˜‚

Are emojis acceptable here? Because I’d like to insert the hand raise one here

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think yes, let’s make a new culture of restrained emoji use πŸ™Œ

Oh were they referring to praise hands? I thought they meant πŸ™‹

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was high fiving their raised hand

The Breakfast Club fist pump. There should be a dedicated emoji for that.

Yeah, that tip is applicable for a lot of people who understand what sex is, this isn't something that really goes away with age in a lot of cases.

I had a physics teacher who measured something against his hand in front of class and started to say, "You should try to..." then stopped before telling us he almost said "you should try to use your body to measure whenever possible" but stopped because he remembered he was talking to a room full of high schoolers.
