"Brokeback Mountain", a good movie about two homosexuals and their inability to put their lives together, is now officially a slur.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Fans of No. 5 Gonzaga have been asked to stop yelling "Brokeback Mountain" at opposing players.

The reference to the recent movie about homosexual cowboys was chanted by some fans during Monday's game against Saint Mary's, and is apparently intended to suggest an opposing player is gay.

For some reason, I find this to be an amusing lesson in human nature. Never underestimate the ability of people to turn even the most innocuous phrase in to a slur or insult.

Hey that was a damn good movie. *shakes fist at anyone who says otherwise*

It will soon be shortened to 'Brokeback'.

I found it was more a love story than a story about homosexuals.

If the two characters had been a man and a woman, in ancient times, committing adultery, they would have suffered from the same climate of fear and the same inability to make their relationship really open.

Once again, the large and dumb prove that they can take something with potential and turn it into something offensive...

Actually it happened recently to an aquaintence. He went to see "Walk the Line" and there was a trailer for "Brokeback Mountain". Out of the blue, the chump next to him yelled, "Hey, is that the movie about the faggots?"

*sigh*

My "aquaintence" then proceeded to spin-kick him through the wall, just for being that stupid.

Gay or straight, I appreciate a good love story. I also appreciate Heath and Jake in jeans and cowboy hats.

I prefer the term "honky", myself. Anyone know the origin? Honky-tonk? What more is there to it?
Brokeback honky ... whoa, am i gonna get deated for that?

One pounded by the other. That film seems to have it all.

yeah, but- in the same pair of jeans?

*fans herself* I concur. I don't care if the tight ass in those tight jeans belongs to a gay man or not...I'm still going to feast my eyes on the delicious sight. Why oh WHY didn't they cast Orlando Bloom and Heath though? Now THAT would've been truly worthy of unmentionable acts committed in a dark theatre.

It will soon be shortened to 'Brokeback'.
Too late. I play an online FPS game, and when someone is messing up, or not being a "team player" someone ussually pops up with "quit being a f****** brokeback!"

I prefer the term "honky", myself.

What's "honky?"

One pounded by the other. That film seems to have it all.Hey, didn't they switch places and such? You're not being fair. You're implying dominance and submission where there was (reasonably) mutual respect and capability. Shame on you.

yeah, but- in the same pair of jeans?

Heaths jeans, Jakes jeans, my jeans.......

What's "honky?"
That's my question, pardner!
:D
Seriously, it was all over the 70's. I still really don't know how it started, and i'm a bit nostalgic about it. The word alone just cracks me up.

I am against adultry so that makes sound worse.

But, the worse part is it makes South Park character Cartman look like a seer or a prophet.

He prophecied that this movie would be made: "Foreign films are are just about gay cowboys eating pudding."
And lo, it was so. And much sound and noise was made about that film.

What's "honky?"
It's a term some black people use for whites, ussually of the redneck nature.

It's use has been somewhat limited, compared to cracker though.

Heaths jeans, Jakes jeans, my jeans.......


I'd like to see your jeans....

Hey, didn't they switch places and such? You're not being fair. You're implying dominance and submission where there was (reasonably) mutual respect and capability. Shame on you.

I haven't seen the film yet, so I don't know. However, submission and dominance are much more sexually pleasing than "mutual respect and capability."

Is it pejorative? Is it percieved as such? Does it offend?

Thank you. That needed to be said.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours........

I haven't seen the film yet, so I don't know. However, submission and dominance are much more sexually pleasing than "mutual respect and capability."
Do you mean,
...with your pardner?
...on a regular basis?
...with a casual acquaintance?
...for $ or a one night stand?
...or for any given sexual encounter?
:confused:

Is it pejorative? Is it percieved as such? Does it offend?
These days, not really. It makes me laugh, specifically.

Thank you. That needed to be said.

yeah- nothing takes the hope outta yer rope quicker than two people politely deferring to which end of the stick they'll be on.

Is it pejorative? Is it percieved as such? Does it offend?
It's SUPPOSED to be offensive, however to me personally, it cracks me up when I get called it. Same with cracker. It's about as offensive to me as it would be to you if I called you gay.

Thank you. That needed to be said.

Everyone needs to be ravaged and have their brains fucked out every now and then. I'd much rather have that than "respect." Please. They can stuff that where the sun don't shine, and I'll stuff something a lot more pleasurable.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours........

I bet you say that to all the boys.

"It was a hot summer night...."


I was actually going to say I wanna see your jeans in tatters, dangling from my ceiling fan

Do you mean,
...with your pardner?
...on a regular basis?
...with a casual acquaintance?
...for $ or a one night stand?
...or for any given sexual encounter?
:confused:

All of the above. And beyond. Well, maybe not for "$." At least not for me.

Some use a coin, some use a choke-hold.
Speaking of rope ... tee hee. The lasso foreplay. :D

"now and then" really means "daily".

I know of two people in here right now that are already well aware of this.

you and who else?

you and who else?

its safe to say you're a definate, right?


I have to run -my wife is submitting so often, I'm spoiled. Lamb for dinner again-second time in a week.

It's SUPPOSED to be offensive, however to me personally, it cracks me up when I get called it. Same with cracker. It's about as offensive to me as it would be to you if I called you gay.
Can i call you "Honky" then, from now on (or "Honky in Black") (!)
:D *please say "yes"*
It's okay, JuNii is now "Mr. Plow"

All of the above. And beyond. Well, maybe not for "$." At least not for me.
Hmmm ....
respect =/= $ ?

I dont know that Sin needs it that often...?

If I run into you tommorrow, you wont be wearing them very long. *lick*

Of course! It would be my honor! :D
Granted. *bows*
Of course, you know this means i'm not liable to argue with you nearly as much.

Hmmm ....
respect =/= $ ?

I doesn't equal respect, but I'm just a slut. I'm not a whore.

I dont know that Sin needs it that often...? You see, he meant Peech and Fass:(

I tend to be a 'binge' type personality when it comes to sex. So I guess Carn's got me right.

Ah, i see now. Makes sense.
*nods*

No matter how things go, I'm never wrong.

And it's Honky in Black. Don't forget that.

(seriously, i dug the flick)

I never saw it. I can't stand Geoffrey Rush.

I never saw it. I can't stand Geoffrey Rush.
As in the Pirates of The Caribbean Rush? Or one of the others?
'cuz he does a particularly fitting job in Quills. *nods*
Worth it for that.

I've hated him in evey roll he's had. He just gives me the creeps. Marquis de Sade didn't - he did.

Granted. *bows*
Of course, you know this means i'm not liable to argue with you nearly as much.
Somehow, I'm sure we'll fnd a way! :D

Somehow, I'm sure we'll fnd a way! :D
No we won't!
:eek:
My mod, what am i saying?!? *sobs*

Awesome movie!
Seconded!

I've hated him in evey roll he's had. He just gives me the creeps. Marquis de Sade didn't - he did.
What about Philip Seymour Hoffman, then? (theory)

EDIT:BTW, i think Rush was a love interest (and a relatively normal one at that) in one movie *other than Quills, of course* :eek:

I'm just Fassing ya :p ;) :D
:eek:
Only for $. That kind of respect you're gonna have to purchase ... :D

No we won't!
:eek:
My mod, what am i saying?!? *sobs*

There there. I'm right, and your wrong. Do you feel better now? :D

yeah- nothing takes the hope outta yer rope quicker than two people politely deferring to which end of the stick they'll be on.

"please, be my guest!"
"Oh no, I must insist, you must go first!"

*pats Straughn on the head*

There there. I'm right, and your wrong. Do you feel better now? :D
You knew i'd lose it sooner or later, Honky. I thought i'd be a bigger man ... *sobs again*


EDIT: Argh, i mean, Honky in Black. Moddamn i'm all flustered now!

WTH? Seeing two gophers being so accomodating is A MAJOR turn-on!
Sheesh, y'all got no class ...

Honky is a term derived from the ethnic nickname of Hunky, a self description by 2nd generation Hungarian and Yogosalvian working class individuals living in close knit ethnic neighborhoods that usually bordered or intermixed with black neighborhoods. Honkey became the equivilent and counter slur to the term ******, however, neither carried the offensive language taboo's of today's PC parinoid population. In short, Honkey is now any white person.

Wow. Thank you! I pretty much grew up on that term, thinking it was largely meaning something else!
*bows*

Nicknames and slang in general tend to have a life of their own, many of which get lost to time unless of course you have lived long enough to remember their origon. It just so happened that I grew up in one of those neighborhoods where nicknames for each others ethnic groups didn't mean a thing.

...it kind of prompts me, though, to wonder why you chose the nom de plume, Liverbreath?

Have you ever heard of the online game called "A Tale in the Desert"? If not it is a goal oriented civilization game that requires a larger degree of smarts, and a high degree of mutual cooperation between players than most others. One of the goals that lead to the greater good is marriage. The downside to marriage is that there is no such thing as divorce and your partner literally gains access your your persona and account. They can actually log on under your name. Needless to say, there was a vast ocean of people looking to talk someone into the marriage ceremony.
"Liverbreath" was derived as my attempt to name myself something so disgusting that it would minimize the number of proposals I would recieve on a daily basis. It actually seemed to work for awhile, but later as my claim on Egypt grew it worked against me because it was so easy to remember. If you like that sort of game I recommend it, but there is a large time investment in it and there is no war, killing, shooting or things of that nature.

Ah! No, i haven't heard of the game, but that's a pretty good strategy. The closest thing i know to it is Fable, where the only way out of your marriage is abuse (or at least that's the way the guy showing it to me made it seem).
And, to prove some point i don't remember making myself, his gf took over the controls (as he was shorn) and got his male character to marry & conjugate with a man. Then came the abuse. She said the best part of that little ditty was the sound effects. ( :eek: ) She must've liked 'em a lot, 'cuz she did it 2 more times before i left.
Thanks for indulging me, btw. *bows*

Thats great! I never expected to have an illustration with my comment.

Thanks

Fable huh! I've never played the remake of it, but I really liked the origonal version. It was a game way ahead of it's time and funny as it could be. Brits made great games and Fenwick was absolute genius. I will have to see if the newer version carries on the same degree of wit and exploration.

Certainly has an angle of exploration about it ... and kicking chickens (wit?), but i can't say much more than that. The guy was planning on qualifying his evil alignment with a few acts so that he could engage some spells, and then he had to get his haircut - so then his gf took over and turned the game into aggrevated buggery *shrug*.
"Oh, gosh!"

"Brokeback Mountain", a good movie about two homosexuals and their inability to put their lives together, is now officially a slur.

http://www.kirotv.com/sports/7011667/detail.html?rss=sea&psp=sports

The worst slur on earth is "ginger"

<covers head>

If the two characters had been a man and a woman, in ancient times, committing adultery, they would have suffered from the same climate of fear and the same inability to make their relationship really open.

Hasn't that been done?

Similarly it could have been done in Wales, but it wasn't.

btw, didn't the two look after sheep, which would make them shepherd not cowboys? No I haven't seen the film.

It was done in Wales, about a welshman and a welsh jewess having to hide their love affair. "Solomon and Gynor" i believe, nominated for best foreign language oscar about three/four years back.

Brokeback Mountain looks terribly tedious and worthy, to be honest. Unless there's things blowing up in it, i won't go see it.

Brokeback gingerbread honky?

Brokeback gingerbread honky?

Thems fighting words where i come from, so i'll just go call out ma ginger brother, ma ginger dad and ma ginger sister (and she's scarier than the lot of us) and we'll meet you and your posse at a venue of your choice...

;)

You may enjoy "The racial slur database".

Google it. not hard to find.
Even some good ones for "whitey", and thats not easy to do.
Very funny.

As for Brokeback.....I enjoy taking the piss out of anything, and everything, so this doesnt worry me too much.
If asshole people want to use it as an insult, they can only offend those willing to be offended.

Funny, fightin' words where i come from are more like,
"Be honest. Do you think these heels compliment my shapely calves?"
and
"Your turn in the barrel."
and
"How many times to i have to tell you, that ISN'T edible!"

Anyway, sure, how 'bout a get together .... what about IHOP?
