The Gentlemens Parlor - November Wanksgiving Edition

[constantinople]

Gentlemen does not refer to exclusively wealthy, male, Caucasoid.

The word carries with it certain connotations.  Those being largely misogynistic and discriminatory in nature.  This is doubly true in cases of "clubs", "parlors", and the like; where a sense of exclusivity pervades the thread.

No they aren't.  I could just as easily say that "Ladies" refers to exclusively the spouses of rich white males. Doesn't make it true.

Whatever connotation or implication you are having trouble with, you are bringing to the word. The word is not bringing it to you.

[Spectre]

A thread with a solid premise and fine gentlemanly pursuits throughout being derailed by perceived misogyny and the most obnoxious level of self imposed victimhoods

an example of most un-parlor attitudes chaps

[Σ]

Quite right, quite right!

*Puffs pipe*

[kroz]

I propose a toast to being wealthy, caucasoid, strapping young lads!

The lack of Arnox in this thread is disturbing.

[Hades]

I'm offended about this being a "Gentleman's Parlor".  Does that translate into this being an exclusive club for straight rich white men?

Gentlemen does not refer to exclusively wealthy, male, Caucasoid.

True wealthy caucasoid male gentlemen would disagree.  Furthermore, being a wealthy male caucasoid is hardly insufficient to be qualified a gentleman.  One has to have the breed and schooling too.  Some colonial peasant who finds gold among his cow's manure could never be considered a gentleman. The romans had it all wrong old chap.  Money does carry an odour, so a wealthy man can only be a gentleman if his serfs produce his wealth.

I would also like to propose to maintain a certain amount of ladylike presence.  Ladies afterall soothe the soul and provide much needed entertainment.

Of course there will be prostitutes

Hear! hear!  I raise my glass to you old chap.   You are a true gentleman.

But you contradict yourself, old boy. If one is to take wealth, whiteness, and manhood as "hardly insufficient", than I dare say that means it is rather close or is, sufficient qualities for gentility.

What then have we for the further addendum to the criteria. You're not making any sense at all dear fellow.

[Lanny]

Whoever made this thread and decided to go with "Thankswanking" as opposed to "Wanksgiving" made a terrible decision.

[Hades]

My appologies. I meant ofcourse to say "hardly sufficient".

Ne'er a more worthy moment. Bravo and jolly good.

Here we call cigarettes "fags"

In my area, a local colloquialism for a 'faggot' is 'cock-smoker'. 

oh, and cheerio, my good man, and whatnot.

They are called fags, my fellow wanker.
Pip pip and Cheerio!
