to be slick with horn at the racist, sexist and homophobic fest

. . . that is euro 2012?

have been loving it until today when my daughter expressed disgust at the sexism and homophobia (I just added racism for good measure) and said footballers should DO something with their privilege - obviously that would be NICE but in meantime surely we are allowed to enjoy watching it?

Slick with horn? Have you been reading 50 Shades of Grey?

Slick with... horn? Is this a trendy young whippersnapper phrase?

What could it possibly mean? I am boggling.

I just saw a dreadful AIBU title and thought 'why don't people THINK before they post' and then I posted without thinking

Not too sure about slick with horn. Wayne Rooney, John Terry? Rather you than me Alameda. Give me those lesbians any time.

Psammead · 15/06/2012 16:35

So, hang on, you are feeling very happy about Euro 2012 despite the 'issues' you mentioned in your title?

And you really meant slick with horn?

Just getting it straight in my head.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 15/06/2012 16:35

lol at the madness

McKayz · 15/06/2012 16:36

What on earth does slick with horn mean?

Psammead · 15/06/2012 16:37

Wow. Ok. Really slick with horn then. Blimey. Good for you, OP.

Ah, you mean you are objectifying those poor menz? Shock

Wallace · 15/06/2012 16:39

I get it (I think)

You have been enjoying watching the football without thinking about the racist/etc issues?

McKayz · 15/06/2012 16:40

Please can someone explain? I am obviously too old!

ExitPursuedByABear · 15/06/2012 16:40

Righty-ho, so not an autocorrect howler. I feel a bit grubby now.
