Still means "bested" to me. I'm not hip to sexual slang.

[–] SkyezOpen 58 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Clearly you are if you know what type of slang "topped" is lol

At my age I just assume anything I don't know is sexual.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 3 months ago (1 children)

fr no cap that’s so skibidi

It's clearly sexual from the context of the meme. Pretty much any time this happens, it's sexual in nature. Otherwise it would just be confusing rather than presented as humorous.

"Topping" means taking an active role in sex, whereas "bottoming" is a passive role.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago

Nyeah... partly.

If that were entirely true, a "power bottom" would make no sense.

The terms sexual usage originated in gay circles where it only delineates who penetrates and who gets penetrated. Traditional views on sex ascribe a submissive or passive role to the bottom and an active or dominating role to the top, but you can totally have a power bottom who takes control and an active role in the intercourse but is the one getting penetrated.

I got both the meaning you mention and the sexual meaning

At least she didn’t pull a boner.

[–] thesporkeffect 38 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'll show them how many boners Betty can make!!

[–] FenrirIII 8 points 3 months ago

She can pull three boners simultaneously

My favorite is the Nixon campaign buttons that says "They Can't Lick Our Dick"

[–] the_joeba 85 points 3 months ago

That's not a language change, they knew.

I'm assuming boner here means mistake but actual boners can be mistakes sometimes and lead to unintended consequences

[–] OmnislashIsACloudApp 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I half remember being told this originally came from bonehead. so like a bonehead would make a mistake like that. which then got shortened to boner.

[–] jenny_ball 4 points 3 months ago

there was an 80s kids show where one of the characters was literally named boner lolllll

[–] [email protected] 57 points 3 months ago
[–] [email protected] 53 points 3 months ago

Good for her.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 3 months ago

I dunno, the looks on the bystanders faces implies it's got the same impact as it might today.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 months ago

Get topped idiot

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago (2 children)

What is this supposed to have meant?

[–] TotallynotJessica 115 points 3 months ago (2 children)

She got one upped, outdone, lost to her rival, and now needs to take it in ass again from her.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Mmmhmm, yup, yeah, wait...wut??

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (5 children)

I've seen the source, it's all true. That's why they eventually formed a poly triangle with Archie, and, occasionally, The Predator.

But as an old fucker, I don't know the current meaning.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (2 children)

the same one, but it's used in a sexual context. Being the top is being the dominant one on a relationship, sexually speaking.

[–] Tylerdurdon 6 points 3 months ago

Oohhhhhhhh. Thanks

Something like "one-upped", I believe.

Bottom energy.

This apparently changed around the same time people stopped using "Give 'em the high hard one".

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

As another example, the man isn’t queer at all.

[–] Sam_Bass 4 points 3 months ago
