I dunno .. tbh I thought you’d use your own discretion to interpret

like I said upthread - someone who posts wine o clock etc on a Friday afternoon on Facebook ?

Think it’s weird for anyone to share their weekend plans on Facebook in 2025. I don’t care if you like a drink on the weekend, but just have your wine, no need to announce it.

@IHaveAlwaysLivedintheCastle You can't just say "No dur it isn't a political critique because I think it's lazy" when I have just carefully explained the nature of the political critique.

Lazy would be me saying "hahaha gammons are idiots" without offering you an explanation of why it is a legitimate satire.

Do you not think it's reasonable to satirise privileged outrage?

It's a lazy, hackneyed phrase which gets trotted out as some sort of gotcha. It's completely unneccesary. Make your point using actual arguments- not spewing out a brainless soundbite.

I like to imagine it as a club consisting solely of Ben Affleck 's ex-wives.

Jens as in multiple Jennifers who drink prosecco or as in a guy from a Scandinavian-ish country who does similar?

Oh I like the sound of Scandinavian Prosecco Jen!

So tell me a comparable well-known derogatory term for men, using a male name…

Chad I think would count as this.

Oh I read the op as prosecco jeans, was curious as to what style of jeans that might be. Silly me

I did too! I was expecting some hideous denims with like a bubble print looking like you've splashed water all over yourself 😆

I've no idea what they are and glad I don't.

Imagine him, rugged, slightly stubbly, stepping off a fishing boat, in his handcrafted knitwear (he knits), he sweeps you up in his arms, kisses you passionately, then pops a bottle of prosecco before taking you back to his impeccably furnished home overlooking the fjords for a night of intense lovemaking.

Yet if someone started a thread encouraging everyone to refer to naughty, thick boys who come from families where dad is fat, tattooed and bald ( or has thinning hair) as Tyler’s.
Imagine the outrage.
Oh shut up you Tyler.
Then it becomes used in general terms to describe any boy who has a dad who looks like this.
Btw you can replace Tyler with any name popular with working class boys.
It’s only a joke, if you get annoyed then you are far too sensitive.
Or uses Tyler to describe any man who has children to more than one woman. Oh he’s a right Tyler he is. Kids to 2 different women and he isn’t even 30 yet! What a Tyler.

Yeah problem is I still think it’s 2010 if I’m honest !

Me too. I imagined upside down legs. It will probably be the next fashion statement though.

Can you repeat the question?

“So called”? by whom?

seems it’s just by you 🤷‍♀️

The bizarrest thing about this thread is the OP calling them ‘so called’, when it appears she is literally the only person who calls them that 😂

I feel the OP has misread something (whilst imbibing) and here we are.

Can we pack in using shame to control women's behaviour?
On every high street betting shops are always making big profits, but it's the women in the nail shops that get the criticism. A lot of women are still stuck with the kids, so they have a drink at home, we did it in the 70/80/90s, some women like to use social media to feel less lonely, because unlike their male counter parts they aren't in the pub/away for the weekend, under the guise of watching/playing sport.

Bolt now has a new friend called Buddy.

They're both living the dream in a rural retreat suitably served by a competent slave.

😁
@TwinklyWrinkly it's Bolt's birthday today 🎂
