Wow, my bf's name is Kenny and we love having gay sex, so this is perfect for me!

My GCSE bio class taught something along the lines of "Dear kinky prostitutes, come over for great sex"
Interesting. Kevin showed up either way.
I can never remember that. Thanks!
There's a particularly horrible one people used to use to remember resistor color codes-
"Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly."
Black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray, white
Boomer Bigots Rely On Yellow-bellied Garbage By Vulgarizing General Wisdom
To add to this, my dad told me that "Get Some Now" was sometimes tacked on to indicate tolerance levels. Gold (5%), Silver (10%), Nothing (0%).
Having worked with a bunch of Boomer and older Gen X EEs, it is a fucking misogynistic boys club of white ass old men with undiagnosed autism. I have never heard so many racist and sexist jokes in the workplace (except when I worked in VC, and those guys were JUST sexist).
So this surprises me not at all (in fact, I think I've heard it before, but as "Black Boys * * *").
It's actually worse still. When I first heard it, the second B wasn't "boys". I'm Gen X and it was disgusting to hear even back then. Please don't lump us in with the boomers. A lot changed in a few short years.
For those who enjoy a little racism with their misogyny, there's a way to disambiguate one of the B colors.
The racist term I was taught when I was a young person
(Color of darkness) (fatherless children) (coerced non-consensual reproduction activities) our (new people to the world) (XX people) but (pure people) go without.
I hate reading resistor color codes because which is the correct orientation for the resistor. Band gaps and positions on real world resistors don't stand out as much as what the theoretical charts show - so I always meter them anyway.
You can say black bastards rape our young girls but virgins go without on here. We're not reddit.
Black, brown, then the fucking colors of the rainbow in order, gray, white.
If you need a mnemonic to memorize that, you're gonna have some trouble actually building out your lookup table in your head of immediately knowing that red=2, yellow=4, etc.
I've never clocked on that the colors are in the order of the rainbow. Mind blown that it's taken your comment to highlight this for me.
I also like that the colors surrounding are shades of lightness... cough cough let's ignore the brown.
What the fuck
Why didn't you make it "great" sex?
Great Community reference btw
It's pride month
I love that show, too.
I took the liberty of looking up adjectives that start with 'g' and sorted them by frequency of use. I found it amusing:
Good
Green
General
Global
Grand
Golden
Guilty
Genetic
Gentle
Grim
Genuine
Gray
Growing
Graphic
Grateful
Glaring
Gracious
Greedy
Glorious
Giant
Grave
Grumpy
Gallant
Gaudy
I don't know why Kevin would be interested with some physical XX And XY chromosomes
I choose guilty sex.
It makes it a little raunchy, without explaining why.
Catholicism has entered the chat.
grumpy
It's a thing. Just don't go too far down the Deviant Art rabbit hole. There be dragons.
Gray sex.
You know, sex between people of Pierce's age.
That's a hilarious take.
When I saw "Gray," I imagined a black-and-white French art film depicting a couple and their struggle with ennui.
See my stupid ass would remember the fun phrase but not the related factual word. So I'd just have phrases with no inkling what the original info was.
Ah the things I learned from TV Funhouse!
Taxonomy is much more complicated than I remember from high school. For one thing I thought the top level was Kingdom, consisting of Animal and Plant. There's like 50x more to it. And I actually liked school and mostly paid attention. WTF?
When I learned about taxonomy in the 90's they hadn't really sequenced many genomes, so taxonomy was still very much phenotype driven, rather than the modern genetic/molecular approaches. I just assumed that everything I learned has become out of date.
When I was in 9th grade our geography teacher put us in groups and assigned each of us a group of countries to memorize. We were given the task of creating a mnemonic to help us memorize. We got central America.
Panama, Costa arica, Nicaragua Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Belize, Mexico.
Please Call Nick He Sucks Good Butt Man.
It has been over 30 years and I've still never called Nick, but I'll never forget central America.
Remember Send Vedding Present.
You use taxonomy to remind you to ask Kevin over?
Ah, the new Lemmy flipperoo
"Domain, Kingdom, Phy- oh no! Kevin is right there! OK, I should ask before I forget."
My friend came up with almost the exact same thing during high school. The only difference is that the DK stood for "Donkey Kong".
Can't say it wasn't memorable!
I've also said Donkey Kong for years!
