It's because "dick" is associated for a lot of people with petty, annoying, inconsiderate behavior, so saying it that way makes it seem like you are playing down the severity of beating your spouse.

ive legit been in a situation when some guy was beating on his s/o in front of me and my friends and as we were pulling him off we were yelling things to the effect of "holy poo poo youre a dick/rear end in a top hat/piece of poo poo" which are all more or less the same to me b/c they express the same amount of disdain for the person in question

i dont get at all why this is a problem for you guys, i guess y'all just hold very specific and determined stages for insults??? i just say what comes to mind

totally yeah b/c if im calling a person them im prolly yelling it angry enough for them to get that im not down with whatever the gently caress it is theyre doing

i mean if someones being annoying or petty or wahtever im not gonna come out swinging calling them names. thats ridiculously unlikely to help me, and in my experience it'd prolly just encourage them

e: and i'd still not call a dude a oval office because its still a real hosed up gendered insult IMO

yeah, but then it's just as bad as in the american sense. "good oval office" is a term of endearment (for men), female friends use it too :sun:

i was invited to a house party where they would show the fight and my lady was like "go hang out with your boys and see the fight" and i was like naw i'll just sit here and play with my baby until it sleeps and then go through my steam library, i dont really care to see a guy punch another guy in a punchmans thing where one dude wins and another loses and then absorb the opinions of a series of dudes, some of which i know, about events

my baby will meet all of its remaining great grandparents tomorrow. all of mom's grandparents are dead, a little young imo. most/all of my grandparents are alive. both my genetic grandmas, a stepgrandma, and my maternal grandpa

at my dad's dad's funeral, i was exposed to a tragic bit of family history. my stepgrandpa jim, who i loved a lot as a child, had a troubled journey through this earth. i have two distinct memories of him - leaping into his arms into a pool, where he would dunk me and toss me around. also once he threatened to cut my head off with a lawnmower blade. he was a tough love redneck good old boy but as far as i know he was good with kids, because even when he was claiming to stab me with a machete i was entertained and not scared. i dunno, little boys can accept threats of violence int he context they are given. jim died when i was a young child and i remember weeping at the news, it was my first taste of mortality. they said it was cancer

so a few years ago at my dad'd dads' funeral my mom was drunk and told me the whole story. apparently jim had at one point been drinking and playing poker with some men, one of whom was the son of the county sherriff. words happened and jim got shot with a shot gun. it blew out most of his guts and one of his kidneys, necessitating a colostomy bag. this really cramped jim's style, also of course charges were never filed. jim couldn't really adjust to pooping in a bag taped to his side, so he killed himself in the brick carport where i would do laps on my tricycle. my dad and uncle drove eight hours to claim the remains and assist the cleaning crew so that my grandma wouldn't have to deal with it on a double shift. she never went back to that house, and sold it immediately thereafter, where she ended up living with us and doing all my stinky stained laundry in high school. anyway being an adult is garbage, thanks for reading
