I'm quite sure that upon hearing this story, I am not the only one who immediately considered the sordid double entendre. It is too obvious to not have it come to one's mind. Sadly, its meaning is actually the more pathetically realistic one - well deserved though it may be. The economically and spiritually ravaged USA has been reduced to turning cheap tricks for Chinese businessmen.

Since I am naive, I have to admit that I do not know what the double entrendre is. I assume it must be something sexual from the last sentence, but I've never heard the term related to any sex act I know of.

It's another word for blow job Farmer Tom.
Taylor, we've been blowing China for years. My I could get so metaphorically graphic here. Yikes. I shall refrain.

Farmer Tom, I only picked up on this meaning of the word from the same blogs we both peruse. Evidently, you weren't paying attention. :)

I'm with Taylor. The things I've learned in this little corner of the blogosphere cover the full spectrum, though I didn't pick up on the second meaning through my disdain.

You are missed over at Vox's place, just FYI.
Hope you and yours are well.

I guess I should mention that was directed to taylor, but you other guys are slacking too!!

Taylor ~
Thank you, toothy. It's always good to know that one is missed. Of course, a big mouth like mine can hardly not be missed...
Me and mine are doing well. Breathing, shelter, food - got all the basics covered. I can't complain and I don't, much.

I think I'll go home and ask the Mrs. for a double entendre.
Oct 16, 2009 22:52
Taylor ~
Heh.
With you being a Giraffe and all, I could come up with a few responses here, but I don't want to go there.
On to more polite matters... Congratulations to you and your wife for a second baby on the way. Wow. Two little ones must be such a handful. But this time you'll be experienced.

Well, Farmer Tom asked what a double entendre was, and Difster told him it was a blow job.
Oct 16, 2009 23:22
Giraffe ~
And thanks.
Oct 16, 2009 23:23
Taylor ~
Giraffe, you've hit on the triple entendre.
Oct 16, 2009 23:29
Taylor ~
Or is that a double double entendre? In which case it could be an entendre squared.
Oct 16, 2009 23:33
Difster ~
Farmer Tom said he didn't know what THE double entendre was, not that he didn't know what A double entendre was. I took it to mean that he didn't know the double meaning of a hummer.

I recently asked about you over at Vox's as to why you weren't posting anymore and I did not see a response...
I for one miss your acerbic wit and I hope you return to not suffer fools gladly more often. Yours is a unique perspective and while I don't believe that you and I have ever directly spoken to one another, you are missed.

Taylor ~
We are pulling your leg, Difsta dude.
And just where did YOU pick up on the meaning of this word? Hmmm? I was an innocent bystander.
Oct 20, 2009 02:29
Taylor ~
Hello, AXCrom. We have spoken to one another before, on this blog, I believe. You're in Texas, right? If not, then you're not the blogger I was thinking about, but I am very familiar with your handle as you're a regular at Vox's.
I didn't realize that unabashed hatred for all things vile and evil was a unique perspective. Heh.
Thanks, Crom, I appreciate your stopping by.

I am the Crom from over at Vox's, I changed my handle to something unique since it was hijacked by an atheist asshat over there recently.
I am in TX, and I do check your blog occasionally - I don't remember commenting but it's likely that I did at some point. Anyway, glad to see you are still around and hope to read more of your stuff in the future.

I guess I'll have to give up using "ho hum" for possible misunderstandings.
And I will manfully resist making comments about how you parked your Hummer.

Bob, that was sooooo gay. It was very cruel, and downright painful, of you to post that video. I must ask. How did you know it was there? You're under suspicion as of now.

Bob, that was sooooo gay.
maybe so, but not near as gay as soccer:

How did you know it was there?
i didn't know it was there. i was trying to google songs with humming in them and that was the best i could come up with. pulling up Indian music with "Hum" in the title gets tiresome after a while.
i'm pretty sure the Chad Mitchell Trio has some stuff with real humming, but i can't find anything on youtube and i don't have my cd collection to hand so i can't look for myself. i think maybe "Hang on the bell, Nellie" from Mighty Day on Campus. probably some other stuff as well. "Moscow Nights"?
now, which scares you more; that i have Chad Mitchell Trio cd's or that i can find that ... whatever it was?
You're under suspicion as of now.
muwahahahahahahahaha.
*rubs hands together*
because making you nervous is all part of my dastardly plan. i will continue with these small steps to earn your trust .......
darn it, screwed up again.

"Of course, a big mouth like mine can hardly not be missed..."
"But this time you'll be experienced."
This blog used to be much more family friendly and not nearly as tongue in check...
Nov 09, 2009 17:04
Taylor ~
??? Neither of those statements were said tongue in cheek. Both were perfectly straightforward and stated within a family friendly context.
I am very surprised you would see it otherwise, Res.

"I am very surprised you would see it otherwise, Res."
No your not. :)
I'm sticking to the double entrendre theme and getting the most mileage from it.

So, now I'm a liar AND I have a dirty mind.
That's nice.

Taylor,
???
I've been working the last couple of days. I just checked in.
No offense was meant.
Please reread my remarks from the point of view of MY milking the double entrendre theme by misconstruing and changing the context of your innocent comments.
Now are you surprised that I said it? I was having a little fun in slightly bad taste.

"I was having a little fun in slightly bad taste."
Was the bad taste in your mouth? OK, I'm going now.

I need to put up a new post...

A new post would be good. At heart I'm (still) a childish 13 years old. All the reverence and respect to you personally, but I still grin every single time I read the title of this post.

Now, Taylor...you've known most of your commenters long enough to know what kind of response you were likely to get from them.
