I took a picture of a sparrow once. They’re called Spatz in German. In my local dialect, they’re called "Spotz" ʃpɔts in english it’s pronounced like "shpowts" - which is one of the words used for penis as well. Picture in German is Bild and in the local dialect it’s "büdl" ˈbʏdl in English pronounced like "boodle" (you have no pronunciation for ü).

So in my local dialect, a sparrow-pic is pronounced the same as a dick-pick. Spotzbüdl - ʃpɔtsˈbʏdl - spowthsboodle

We kind of do have a pronunciation of ü The cornish town Bude, would be pronounced by locals as “Büd” It’s how I explained to my kids how to handle umlaut words, if it was the English word “lane“ imagine it’s spelled ‘laen’ and then get rid of the e to make ‘län’. It’s rare but some English words still use æ as a sound not a pair of letters. Spelæological for caving for instance. Often simplified to speleological.

This felt like hearing one of those hardcore grannies dropping a truth bomb on their spoilt grandchild in public, and all people in a 10m radius shut up and start thinking if it also applies to them.

Doesn't happen often, but Balkan grannies are like Speed Metal when they hit.

So, you're not sending noods then?

[–] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago (8 children)

I do like to send noods (recipe is adding salt & herbs to the noodle water, then adding cheese to herb noodles)

That's hot.

For my spotted dick recipe, I like to let the raisins rehydrate in a bowl of lemon juice. Really gives the flavor a little extra pop of brightness.

Damn, your penis is detachable? I hope they send it back once they're done.

The only dick pix I want to see are dik-dik pix.

How can you tell a male dik-dik from a female dik-dik?

Look for the dik-dik dick

With a prehensile nose. And fangs. And smelly glands.

And yes, so tiny they would probably roll coal in a lifted truck

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (8 children)

I still have never received an unsolicited dick pic. I’ve never struggled to get men to like me though… I wonder what it is about me that tells them not to bother with the picture.

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 33 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's been 15 minutes since you posted, how many did you receive until now?

Edit: here's something even better. A dik dik pic.

Umm technically by ignoring them she is the opposite of a slut. Just saying.

Not that there's anything wrong with sluts. I'm very slutty myself.

[–] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Most women learn from a very young age that the real definition of slut is 1) you used to have sex with me and not longer do so you're a slut; 2) I want to have sex with you but you don't notice me therefore you're a slut; and 3) my boyfriend, husband, guy I like thinks you're hot so you're a slut. Doesn't have anything to do with what sex the "slut" may or may not be having. Many women were labelled sluts while they were still virgins.

[–] ExhibiCat@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Good point. It's just a slur. I take things too literally sometimes

As gross as it is, the people sending dick pics aren't looking for your approval, it's a numbers game. If you're confident enough to hang that dong, someone is gonna be interested. Like I said it's gross but they don't do it because it doesn't work, you catch a fish with enough throws

[–] sirimeow@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If they did that irl they would most likely get arrested in most countries so it's kinda fucked up that they think it's still fine to do online

[–] Maestro@fedia.io 19 points 1 week ago (3 children)

There was a guy in my fraternity who did this. Every time there was a party of some kind he would swing by all the girls and introduce himself. "Hi, I'm Curry, wanna fuck?" (Curry was his nickname). He always went home with someone.

[–] ericatty@infosec.pub 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

As long as he was accepting the no's gracefully, and wasn't an asshole to any of them... Then yeah, that's a pretty honest way to play the numbers game and find someone who is also dtf.

And this was at a frat party... not work or church... so appropriate time and place as well

Did he ever settle down?

[–] Maestro@fedia.io 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He always took the no's gracefully (sometimes many dozens a night). I have no idea if he settled down. We lost contact after graduation. It's been 20 years, so I hope he did!

I mean did he show everyone his dick without asking if they wanted to see it though? That's what I meant by likely getting arrested if doing it irl, comparing it to sending dick pics.

But ye I guess at fraternity parties it's a different vibe.

So why would they get mad of someone doesn't react? The people asking me to help them get their 50 trillion dollar inheritance out of the country don't seem to mind when I don't reply.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

We know why they do it. That doesn't make it any less inappropriate. These guys don't care who they make uncomfortable in their quest for validation. It's like a kid that throws a fit to gain attention, uncaring about who they might hurt in the process. Except unlike a developing child, these men should be mature enough to know better.

[–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago

Does it ever work at all? even 1 in a million times seems too many to me.

I've only known of that working in Grindr or sites like that where thirsty population is high, and where most people are seeking for that. But in normal social media I wouldn't expect to ever work, at all.
