Nope not a chance ever. :rolleyes:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :eek::eek:

So, what's not to like?:-2

I like how he quickly moves on to his next statement after he says..."I'm great in bed"...:wah:...Priceless...

This may be yet another of those English-as-a-foreign-language moments but I've always used douchebag to refer to a sterile receptacle for the collection of waste aqueous solutions employed for vaginal or uterine lavage to prevent conception after intercourse. The leap from that to an answering machine message is huge.

The leap is more of an infinitesimally micronic blip.

Douchebag, afterbirth, crotch rot.....all appropriate descriptions for that guy.

:wah: Nomad....:-4 :wah:

The word or words (Slang as defined by it's use in this thread) "Douche Bag" I do believe originated on Saturday Night Live...For some reason I keep wanting to think Goerge Carlin was behind it but I believe it was in and of around the time Goerge Carlin aired his famous "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television"...

(from the OED) - 1908, C. MACFARLANE, Reference Handbook of Gynecology for Nurses, p35: Hang the douche-bag eighteen inches above the level of the patient's hips.

It fits my usage but not, I sincerely hope, the alternative one.

Ah... the US meaning's here as well...

1967 American Speech XLII. p228: Douche bag, noun,. phrase; an unattractive co-ed. By extension, any individual whom the speaker desires to deprecate.

What on earth is a co-ed - it sounds like a UHF lead.

shame they silenced out his number, id of given him a call:D

First I would never date that douchebag as he sounds like a control freak. Call me at 3pm Thursday.....I don't play games. Hey, she's not "that into you" judging by that she's not calling him back.:wah:

Co-Ed...from Wiki:

Mixed-sex education, (or just Mixed education), also known as Coeducation, is the integrated education to males and females at the same school facilities. The opposite situation is described as single-sex education. Most older institutions of higher education restricted their enrollment to a single sex at some point in their history, and since then have changed their policies to become coeducational.

Co-ed (or coed) is the shortened adjectival form of "Coeducation", and the word co-ed is sometimes also used, in the United States, as a noun to refer to a female student at a coeducational college or university. The word is also often used to describe a situation in which both genders are integrated in any form (e.g. "The team is co-ed").

dunno about co-ed...............dick..ed more like :-4:-4

"a noun to refer to a female student at a coeducational college or university"? Why female? That has me utterly flummoxed. How does one get from coeducational to female??

He calls himself Greek but he lives in 21st Century America, he sounds like a 21st Century American and he behaves in a competitive and boastful manner not traditionally associated with the Greeks of any era. It would appear that Dmitri is a very confused fellow but at least he gets his tackle wet as often as he wants to. It isn't magnificent, Captain, but the only sure way to get laid in California is to get on top and stay there.

Sounds ? As in vocal characteristics ?

Because Ive never heard that rap before. Its ridiculous.

You think he gets his tackle wet as often as he likes, you think women like that ?

Its repulsive to men and women alike.

Sounds as in accent.

What women? Which men and women? That's the society he inhabits, Nomad. I don't live there. He sounds completely typical to me, for all I know. Is that not what Californians are like? It pretty well matches what I've seen of the place in the movies.

Which women ?

What do you call it when its safe to assume the population in general would agree on an issue ?

You know like killing people and eating them, or dropping a nuclear bomb on Finland.

That kind of thing.

Oh I know, common sense. Thats it.

Where do you think he learned to act that way?

North Dakota, hell yea

You need to visit the US and get your warped view straightened out.

Seriously I don't. I have a few needs, I have the occasional desire, visiting the US coincides with neither list. My warped view can always be corrected here, after all, and I do ask questions hoping to get answers.

As annoying as the chap on the answerphone? I do hope not.

Ok, then you have my invite to Philadelphia for the weekend of July 4th. Lots of things to do. This is where it all started, you know, the Declaration of Independence, etc.

Oh, the latin tag! Oh, the memories! Lord we had fun with those back in the glory days.

:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl Thanks RJ, always make me laugh. Well, then drag his butt over to the Pub for a drink on the house as we hit 10,000 today.

You're very gracious, chickie, and I'm touched by the invitation, but sadly I have a prior engagement.

Rj, you should really come out east to Philly and join the biggest party for the 4th.

That's one of the things you can teach me straight off. If I'd said "I'll take a raincheck" that would have implied no, is that right? Even though it's ostensibly a yes it's a sardonic/sarcastic yes? But if the person offering the engagement suggests a raincheck it's always a legitimate and well-meant offer to defer or postpone but not cancel. I think. Which leaves me puzzled - are you offering a raincheck or accusing me of ducking out by taking one? I bet it's the latter.

We English don't have rainchecks in our language, that's why I ask.

It means you'll take me up on the visit next time. It's still available but not at the moment on your end.

Are we talking about you or the guy now ?

rjwould;903683 wrote: At least educate me on it.


For American universities the Latin tag is the sine qua non of logical argument. In English universities it's the set of background assumptions that's never made explicit. The English seem to wince when they hear labels applied to sentences as though the sentences don't themselves carry the labels by implication.

Nomad;903690 wrote: Are we talking about you or the guy now ?


Come on, you know the answer to that already. I invariably self-deprecate, I hold very few of the assumptions or positions that I held when I joined FG, I often admit myself to be in the wrong and I detest lawyers. If you think a moment you might even admit all that's true.

Nah, not really - more stereotypical.

Upon the incorporation of female teachers the term for this would have been "coeducational", which then would have been incorporated into the dialect of the people within that community to then convert it into slang like that has been going on since the dawn of creation...This conversion, as is with most, probably ends up into just a shortened form of the word to meet the convenience of those to whom speak it while not mitigating it's association...Hence the word "Co-ed" in reference to the newly appointed female teacher...

Fair enough, can we settle on PROTOTYPICAL as that seems to cover both instances. I agree about the waste of a mind, where did I put it now?

looks like he's Canadian, so maybe you all were a little off in assuming he was a stereotypical American man. :rolleyes:





UPDATE: The Toronto Sun re-posted the story on its wesbite.

The Toronto Sun

The most promiscuous women, according to Dimitri's website, are saleswomen (especially real estate agents), nannies, schoolteachers (especially elementary and early childhood education), nurses and lawyers (criminal and civil litigation in particular).

Dimitri charges $40 to attend one of his weekday meetings, $269 for an annual membership to his "lair" and as much as $2,997 plus GST for a two-day workshop advertised on his website, dimitrithelover.com, where "Dimitri The Lover creates a powerful identity for you that women will find irresistible."

Also from the website:

"Learn the secret physical, verbal and psychological techniques used by Dimitri the Lover to seduce, pleasure and sexually enslave women," says one of his program outlines.

Or this: "A man's 'basic operating system' is composed of 'rapist' and 'murderer' programs which have been hard-wired into his brain.

And here's a snippet from his marketing materials:

"Dimitri The Lover is the ONLY pickup guru in the world WITH PROFESSIONAL CREDENTIALS TO BACK HIM UP who has conducted IN-FIELD MEDICAL RESEARCH ON SEDUCTION!!!" he proclaims in another.

However, his troubled past and medical credentials are hardly worth bragging about.

Dimitri the Lover's real name is James N. Sears.

¦

By 1986, Sears was in the Canadian Armed Forces and while still a third-year medical student was evaluated by a military psychiatrist who suggested there was "something seriously wrong" with Sears.

He was shunned by fellow students because of his behaviour. A female officer complained he repeatedly tried to enter her room, and military police found "a can of Mace, several knives, two empty smoke grenade canisters and an electronic stun gun" in his room following an incident.

As a result of his antics, Sears had to repeat a year of medical school. Despite documented reservations, he graduated from U of T as a doctor in 1988.

During his internship at Doctors Hospital in Toronto, Sears skipped duties, drank while on call, indulged in "inappropriate self-use of prescription drugs," according to the College hearing record.

Sears was judged "immature" in a subsequent psychiatric assessment and it was noted he displayed "inappropriate behaviour towards female staff members," and was viewed by peers as "un -trustworthy, cynical and narcissistic."

He underwent psychotherapy and was admitted to Ottawa's National Defence Medical Centre in 1990 for evaluation and treatment.

There, "record was made of numerous, random and obsessive telephone calls to women during which he would sometimes masturbate," and evidence suggested "prescribable substance abuse," according to the College hearing records.

However, after a conclusion of "no clear evidence of major psychiatric illness," Sears was cleared to return to medical practice.
