That's exactly why I had to share it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-literally-crying-with-laughter-here-nsfw-or-the-faint-hearted#post-1252880 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 03:39:51 +0000 BabyMats 1252880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is pretty funny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-literally-crying-with-laughter-here-nsfw-or-the-faint-hearted#post-1252838 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 00:48:50 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 1252838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my stars that thread was the best thing I've ever read on the internet! I had just finished having a pity party for myself and was crying from being sad. Now I'm crying and laughing so hard my husband thinks I've officially lost what's left of my mind. The British slang makes it even better. </p> <p>I can't even imagine how people think of these things. And the huffingtonpost response article was pure genius. Teehee penis beaker...hehehehe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-literally-crying-with-laughter-here-nsfw-or-the-faint-hearted#post-1252781 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 23:26:58 +0000 Kimberlybee 1252781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@OldEnglandMama: LOL This is the first I have heard of that thread, so hilarious. </p> <p>@swedishfish: British lingo is the best! I have a childhood pen pal from Scotland that I wish I could go visit and meet-up with in London. I reconnected with her on FB after 20 something years. Her posts are super witty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-literally-crying-with-laughter-here-nsfw-or-the-faint-hearted#post-1252772 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 23:21:40 +0000 MrsSCB 1252772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg, this is hilarious!

I wish she would join us. </p> <p>I keep giggling to myself an hour later.

This is the funniest thing I've read in forever. I can't share my favorite parts because they are definitely not family friendly ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-literally-crying-with-laughter-here-nsfw-or-the-faint-hearted#post-1252649 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 21:34:19 +0000 swedishfish 1252649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha, delightfully friendly with the men folk!

The original thread and all the comments made me laugh so hard!! "I'm feeling fruity tonight dear, fill up the -----"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-literally-crying-with-laughter-here-nsfw-or-the-faint-hearted#post-1252608 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 21:09:36 +0000 OldEnglandMama 1252608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend sent me an unrelated Daily Telegraph article, that linked to another story about this thread that came up on Mumsnet (and almost crashed their servers) last month: </p> <p><a href="http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/a1875847-Do-you-dunk-your-penis" rel="nofollow">http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/a1875847-Do-you-dunk-your-penis</a></p> <p>Some of it might get lost in translation from British to American English, but it had me in stitches and I thought some (but I know not all of you, and I hope I don't offend anyone) would appreciate it too. </p> <p>Apparently it went viral. The OP is such a good sport about the whole thing, and I love that noone is really mean to her (despite numerous opportunities) - but apparently she got banned from the site despite bringing them great publicity and new members. Seems a bit harsh.</p> <p>After you've read some of the thread, take a look at this response from Hufffington Post UK, also pretty hilarious: </p> <p><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/10/09/penis-beaker-guide_n_4071146.html?utm_hp_ref=tw" rel="nofollow">http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/10/09/penis-beaker-guide_n_4071146.html?utm_hp_ref=tw</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-you-are-so-articulate#post-662510 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 08:40:14 +0000 BKCaribBaby 662510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: You started the post! Yay!</p> <p>Besides the usual "articulate"-esque commentary, I get some extra special stuff with my Caribbean background. Can I speak with a Caribbean accent? Yes. Is it my automatic default? No. When I mention it, people want me to speak that way for them as if I am putting on a show. Uh nooo. My culture and accent will not be your entertainment. I'm waiting for the day when I speak with a Caribbean accent to my kids publicly, and I get asked if I am one of the many Caribbean nannies in my neighborhood. </p> <p>I also get a lot of interesting commentary because of my hair since it's in the form of long very well-kept locs. People who know nothing about Black hair call them braids, which they aren't. Although people called the braids I had years ago locs, when they weren't. If you have any questions about Black hair, just ask in a polite manner. Most people I know would be happy to explain what they do or don't do. While we're on this, just because I wear my hair a certain way doesn't mean I have predilection for drugs or Bob Marley, although I like the latter very much. :) </p> <p>@ladyfingers: Francesca is great. She actually does great hair videos as well. I need to check those out, so I can try new styles for my hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-you-are-so-articulate#post-662476 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 08:04:38 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 662476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: In my case the roommate was black. She had an idea of what "blackness" is and I did not fit the bill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-you-are-so-articulate#post-662435 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 06:42:34 +0000 MarieJ 662435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: @mrsjazz: OMG! I get the "you talk white comments all the time. They drive me bananas!</p> <p>I also have nice grade of long hair &amp; I get the "are you mixed?" questions too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-you-are-so-articulate#post-662313 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 22:37:02 +0000 wheres_c 662313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I feel bad. When I met my college roomie I said that to her. My previous exposure to the black community had been some of the gansta rap listening, unarticulate in my low income Baltimore neighbourhood.<br /> Looking back, I realize how rude, narrowminded and naive I was back then.</p> <p>Lucikly she didnt hate me for my ignorance, we became good friends, and I learned so much from her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-you-are-so-articulate#post-662294 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 22:12:21 +0000 yoursilverlining 662294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsStormy: my husband is 1/2 Mexican and 1/2 German, since his dad is German he has a very German last name. He cannot count the number of times people have made nasty comments to his face about Mexicans and immigrants not knowing his heritage he's just like "yeah.....funny thing is... I'M MEXICAN". effing infuriating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-you-are-so-articulate#post-662242 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 21:25:28 +0000 mrs. wagon 662242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's pretty much always the same:</p> <p>"Where are you from?" Boston.<br /> "No, where are you REALLY from?" I was born in Massachusetts. Lived here all my life.</p> <p>Eventually I give them a break and I say "if you're asking where my parents are from, they immigrated from Korea before I was born."</p> <p>The one that kills me is "Korea? North or South?" If you've ever read anything in the news EVER you'd know that North Koreans are not allowed to leave their country! If I were from North Korea it would mean that I was a refugee who escaped the horrors of communist dictatorship!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-you-are-so-articulate#post-662235 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 21:20:07 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 662235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: Yes, yes, yes! </p> <p>@MrsTiz: When I really get annoyed I say "home grown Negro." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-you-are-so-articulate#post-662135 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 20:09:14 +0000 Grace 662135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't believe people actually say that to you guys! I mean, I was in so much disbelief that it took me half way through the comments to figure out what you were talking about. I have no words.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-you-are-so-articulate#post-662085 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 19:41:00 +0000 MrsTiz 662085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: "black from America" love this. I don't know why it's expected that non white people are from Africa or Mexico or wherever. People of all kinds are born right here everyday. I'm surprised at how often I hear this. Heaven forbid you have an accent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-you-are-so-articulate#post-662075 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 19:35:37 +0000 MsMamaBear 662075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: My hair is natural, so when I straighten it, I get the, it's so long comments too. Uh, take care of your hair and it will grow.LOL </p>
