This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This probably isn’t true, but like if it is, you shouldn’t have to be told to not let your dog fuck your ass. Your Dad is reacting exactly how any sane person would in that situation.

So George Carlin voiced the conductor in the US. Someone mixed in his standup with the show, and it's pretty great.

too tired to move

Yeah, no, I'm calling bullshit. WTF anon?

[–] [email protected] 72 points 4 days ago

Once again an abominable greentext could have been avoided if anon would just have a damn shower!

Anon screwed the pooch and is now in the doghouse.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Honestly I've never actually slowed down to truly parse the phrase "screw the pooch". Well, now I have, and also fuck you because I used to be innocent 😭

[–] Raiderkev 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Holy shit. I thought I was being witty using that idiom instead of screwed the pooch. TIL it's already a thing, moreover the origin story of screwed the pooch.

[–] ReluctantMuskrat 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The origin doesn't include actually having sex with a dog though. "Fuck the dog" was just an expression for being lazy and "screw the pooch" simply makes it more palatable.

[–] Raiderkev 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] ReluctantMuskrat 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Whether the action was feeding, walking, or fornicating, though, all of these early examples were used to mean “to loaf around” or “to waste time” (dogs have often been associated with laziness, as in the expression “dogging it”). Later on, possibly around World War II, “fucking the dog” and its euphemistic equivalents took on a secondary meaning of “blundering.”

[–] Raiderkev 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ok, so Google up fornicate one time

[–] ReluctantMuskrat 1 points 2 days ago

I know what fuck means too. Read the first sentence again... "all these early examples" are expressions referring to being lazy, with later meaning to include blunders. It was never actually an expression that suggested someone was fucking a dog or a degenerate, but instead just a vulgar expression of someone being lazy.

Dog gone it!

Anon became a white woman.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

i don’t know what this means, but i hate you for writing it

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (11 children)

You'll hate me too for explaining it, there's a running stereotype that white women fuck their dogs.

I didn't make it up and I don't spread such stereotypes, but that's what they meant by their above comment.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago (7 children)

well that’s just stupid and racist.
but i appreciate the explanation and don’t hate you.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm inclined to agree on that lol. No problem, and I'm glad we can continue a state of hatelessness between us!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

my new year’s resolution is that you and i maintain our mutual lack of hatred for each other.

Does engaging and explaining such stereotypes count as spreading them?

This is my first time hearing about that. Many people are extremely stupid, so it makes sense some notion like that would be idiotic racist bullshit that various losers would believe.
