A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

"Virgin" and "Fucker" are both used as insults. Damned if you "do it," damned if you don't "do it." (yiffit.net)

I've always been amused at the idiots who hit on a girl, get rejected, and then call the woman a whore for not sleeping with them.

"Fucker" is the same as "motherfucker," it just has an implied "mother"

Fuck has many meanings, "That fucking virgin" is an acceptable sentence to make that wouldn't be considered a contradiction

"That virgin's fucking" is also an acceptable sentence that wouldn't be considered a contradiction. But only once.

If they're mid first fuck, are they still virgins until they finish? 🤔

Only fuckers use virgin as an insult.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Does that also mean that only virgins use fucker as a insult?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I’m quite comfortable being damned, I’ll be with all my friends :)

Hang in there. They both lose pretty much any insult value in after one is out of their teens

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

In and of themselves? Yes. But, I think anything can still be offensive if they hurl it at you the right way. Though the offense taken is the feeling of disrespect and knowing their intent, more than the word. If someone called me a bed sheet in the right tone, I'd still be upset. lol

Maybe it's because I've been married for decades and I have a kid, but I cannot imagine any situation in which I would find someone calling me a virgin to be offensive. Just very, very odd.
