Words that shouldn't be used on a first date.

I had forgotten all about that embarrassing typo (pimiento load), yarb. Thanks for bringing it back up, so to speak... :-)

I'm never going to be able to forget it, so I don't see why you should.

Lol at hilarious recent additions!

Beautiful!

Montezuma's revenge has now been listed by both TYP and ptero. Does this mean that it shouldn't be used twice on a first date?

Pter: lutefisk *snort!*

Ha! What a great list idea!

No, bilby, it just means that I didn't read the list thoroughly before posting my ideas. Nevertheless, I think we can all agree that you shouldn't use Montezuma's revenge twice on a first date.

Three times, though... that might be okay. :-)

I had a memorable first date once where someone explained to me about some kind of nifty frog that eats this huge thing (without chewing, of course) and then has to, like, shift around to make it fit in its stomach. This description came complete with a physical acting-out to demonstrate.

That sounds like a great first date!

Actually I'd be charmed to hear, and would happily use, some of the words on this list at a first date - boudoir, word-loins, gound, moist, clinchpoop. And what's wrong with simper and scarf??

I've presumed that this hilarious list is meant mostly as a generalized comedy list and not meant to be taken literally, since there's plenty of words that could or should be used, in fact. And, of course, there's context and quotha.

And threesome could actually work in your favor, given the right proclivities...

dontcry commented on the list words-that-shouldn-t-be-used-on-a-first-date

Charmed? Really, yarb? The only one I can agree with you on is boudoir -- but only if he pronounced it "boo-der" 'cause that always makes me laugh!

yarb, did you open the scarf page?

June 12, 2008

yarb commented on the list words-that-shouldn-t-be-used-on-a-first-date

No I didn't!

And come on dc, you can't deny that a whispered clinchpoop would be impossibly romantic at the right moment.

reesetee commented on the list words-that-shouldn-t-be-used-on-a-first-date

Yarb and whichbe, you guessed my intentions--some of the words I added (moist and clinchpoop, specifically) were meant to be tongue-in-cheek.

Can you say tongue-in-cheek on a first date?

June 12, 2008

dontcry commented on the list words-that-shouldn-t-be-used-on-a-first-date

r -- yes, as long as you don't present it as a question.

skipvia commented on the list words-that-shouldn-t-be-used-on-a-first-date

I'd probably avoid any use of the word "tongue" on a first date, reesetee.

reesetee commented on the list words-that-shouldn-t-be-used-on-a-first-date

*has probably failed the test on both counts*

I enjoy adding to this list, because when it comes to dating, I'm a real Neanderthal. Or real basic, I don't know. Reminds me of the joke about how women can impress men on a date:

"Show up naked.

Bring food.

Don't block the TV."

What's funny is that all of us will have this list in their mind on any first date from now on.

Earthlings, I love you. Brilliant! Awesome list!

whichbe commented on the list words-that-shouldn-t-be-used-on-a-first-date

If only to break all the rules, Prolagus. But, really, "dating" is...dated. If I'm having a "first date" it's long after I've gotten to know someone and have a quality connection with them.

yarb commented on the list words-that-shouldn-t-be-used-on-a-first-date

If that's true, whichbe - that dating is dead -, it's a shame. I was never a serial dater (datist?) but the uncertainty, intrigue, and curiosity of a first date make it a splendid experience whatever happens.

I propose we all join Match.com, book a lot of first dates, then try these out. I'll have to ask the wife first though.

Hey, would any of the words on this list work here too?

reesetee commented on the list words-that-shouldn-t-be-used-on-a-first-date

Wow. C_b, your list is strangely complementary to this one. What an odd family you must have. ;->

An exemplary lesson in profile construction for online matchmaking sites.

imagine a first date where all these words were used, though.

This is a top-notch list. Each word suggests a scenario. A good joke is always completed in the observer's imagination.
