Can we, was a group, give the term "spez" the ol' Santorum treatment? (lemmy.world)

In other words, redifining its predominant use not as a username but something more spine the lines of smeg, etc. I'm all for not driving traffic to the site, and this is both helpful and entertaining. If Dan Savage and his audience can do it to a rectal fungal infection of an excuse for a politician, we can make this happen no sweat.

Pretty "spez" is destroying his own name. We should just stand back and let him do it.

[–] Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Santorum was "destroying" his own name at the time, too, but more than deserved a response from a clever, collaborative community to help ensure it, ahem, stained indelibly. 🤢😅

How about dried semen that’s still stuck to clothing after it’s been through the laundry?

[–] Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Nah, laundry implies cleanliness.

(Also, stop using your clothing to mop up, heh. You're grown.)

Sometimes you gotta grab whatever's close at hand

If it's a post spur-of-the-moment thing on occasion, maybe, but if you're actually grabbing "what's close at hand" on the way to the deed itself, ya gotta stop and consider that maybe the problem isn't your passionate spontaneity.

[–] animist@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

oh i have way more problems than that

[–] Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yes, but that problem, neighbor. The struggle is real, and it's rough all over, but you've got this. One step at a time. Buy a simple towel set and get into a habit of laundry rotation, if that helps. You're worth it! 😁

How about dog poop at the exact moment that it turns white in the backyard?

Username checks out 🤣

Spezzing, to spez: When money becomes more important than principles. Example: Wages in the United States will not improve until CEOs stop spezzing and pay their laborers well.

[–] cyberian_khatru@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I say 'spez', as an adjective, should denote a level of degradation similar to that of a cum box with live fungi growing out of it.

[–] bliss@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Hey guys don’t spez out! Be cool.

spetzel: in complete knots yet somehow still soggy and limp with no substance
