Still means "bested" to me. I'm not hip to sexual slang.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 61 points 5 months ago

Clearly you are if you know what type of slang "topped" is lol

[-] veroxii@aussie.zone 108 points 5 months ago

At my age I just assume anything I don't know is sexual.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 67 points 5 months ago

Don't you come "bussin' no cap" at me young man, I'm happily married.

[-] veroxii@aussie.zone 31 points 5 months ago
[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 28 points 5 months ago

Are you... are you hitting on me?

[-] Syltti@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

Reading all this, I gotta ask; Did it work?

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 25 points 5 months ago

Yes, veroxii and I are married now.

Neil : "Ah, here's one. This means that someone has just done something which has never been done before. 'Richard Moore of Sugarland, Texas, hollowed out an eggplant and filled it with hot sauce and nickels.' And amazingly, it's not a weird sex thing. 99% of all new human behaviors are weird sex things. But not in this-- oh, no, it is a weird sex thing, yeah."

It's clearly sexual from the context of the meme. Pretty much any time this happens, it's sexual in nature. Otherwise it would just be confusing rather than presented as humorous.

"Topping" means taking an active role in sex, whereas "bottoming" is a passive role.

[-] Enkrod@feddit.de 19 points 5 months ago

Nyeah... partly.

If that were entirely true, a "power bottom" would make no sense.

The terms sexual usage originated in gay circles where it only delineates who penetrates and who gets penetrated. Traditional views on sex ascribe a submissive or passive role to the bottom and an active or dominating role to the top, but you can totally have a power bottom who takes control and an active role in the intercourse but is the one getting penetrated.

At least she didn’t pull a boner.

[-] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 38 points 5 months ago

I'll show them how many boners Betty can make!!

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

She can pull three boners simultaneously

[-] AceQuorthon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 65 points 5 months ago

My favorite is the Nixon campaign buttons that says "They Can't Lick Our Dick"

[-] the_joeba@lemmy.world 85 points 5 months ago

That's not a language change, they knew.

You shall rue this day apparently.

[-] Johanno@feddit.de 16 points 5 months ago

What's the actual meaning of boner?

[-] gwen@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 5 months ago
[-] x4740N@lemm.ee 8 points 5 months ago

I'm assuming boner here means mistake but actual boners can be mistakes sometimes and lead to unintended consequences

[-] OmnislashIsACloudApp@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

I half remember being told this originally came from bonehead. so like a bonehead would make a mistake like that. which then got shortened to boner.

[-] jenny_ball@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

there was an 80s kids show where one of the characters was literally named boner lolllll

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 54 points 5 months ago

Good for her.

[-] Silentiea 43 points 5 months ago

I dunno, the looks on the bystanders faces implies it's got the same impact as it might today.

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 32 points 5 months ago

Get topped idiot

[-] butter@midwest.social 30 points 5 months ago

What is this supposed to have meant?

[-] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 115 points 5 months ago

She got one upped, outdone, lost to her rival, and now needs to take it in ass again from her.

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 51 points 5 months ago

Mmmhmm, yup, yeah, wait...wut??

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I've seen the source, it's all true. That's why they eventually formed a poly triangle with Archie, and, occasionally, The Predator.

But as an old fucker, I don't know the current meaning.

[-] fushuan@lemm.ee 16 points 5 months ago

the same one, but it's used in a sexual context. Being the top is being the dominant one on a relationship, sexually speaking.

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Oohhhhhhhh. Thanks

Something like "one-upped", I believe.

[-] mctoasterson@reddthat.com 9 points 5 months ago

This apparently changed around the same time people stopped using "Give 'em the high hard one".

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 months ago

If you want some cultural whiplash, read the first Archie comic. You'll know why when you get there.

I read it, no clue what you were referring to

I read it just and there was definitely some very 1940s lingo but was there one in specific that you were referring to?

As another example, the man isn’t queer at all.
