    I think it was pretty well understood.

    I would suggest that if you are using a word that doesn't fit into the phrase, then you most likely don't actually understand the phrase and are just repeating something you heard some fancy guy with a frilly blouse say, probably to create the impression that you are more educated than you really are.

    Well, most language acquisition is auditory and they're nearly homophones. The cliche makes sense in context if you do substitute the proper spelling.

    She was being a dick to him for being stressed out in a situation that is by its definition stressful, without ever having experienced the same.

    There is no telling how she might have reacted in his place.

    the uh...sorta opposite? happened to Ben once.

    My football team was playing an away game in Portland. The locker room they have for the visiting team is tiny. Fucking tiny. I don't know how they expect 30+ people to change in there. We were using shower space to change. And there's one toilet. Given the small amount of time we have to dress and warm up for a game, we walked around the outside of the stadium and found the nearest bathroom, which happened to be the men's room. We're all like "whatever, I can still use that toilet" and have at it.

    At halftime, Ben gets up from the stands and wanders down to that bathroom as the team is coming off the field. While he's in the middle of peeing at the urinal, into the men's bathroom come like 10 of my teammates.
    Dear Penthouse,

    I never thought this would happen to me...

    No, dickhole, it's because she's a woman with a career path that doesn't involve being told where to shit for 4 years of her life and also because she's dating an ex-marine who would break up with her if she did anything so pansy-assed as joining the air force.

    Well, in that case she might want to consider shutting her mouth when it comes to Wiggin's time of service.

    what are you talking about

    I made fun of him for being so stressed out he couldn't poop in what is widely known as the cuddliest branch of the armed forces

    I don't know anything about his time of service, dumbass

    And I am OK with being made fun of in this manner

    evidently people appear to think you need internet protection whenever anybody says anything mean to you at this point

    personally I was under the impression that being a douche on the internet is why we're all here

    way to be a cool dude though h5

    so, if i made fun of Bush right now, would you tell me to shut up because i have no idea how stressful being the president is since i'm not willing to do it myself?

    I was told that the air force academy is the only academy to still favor techniques that value abusing its cadets for the sole purpose of abuse. Things like extraneous yelling and put downs, encouraging upper class cadets to belittle the freshman, forcing new cadets to eat in a posture that makes it difficult to swallow, and other things like that.

    could be worse
    they could be challenged physically as well
    I actually snorted a little bit while laughing at this

    It's actually almost a universal phenomenon that dudes in Air Force basic don't shit for the first couple of weeks. It is stress but I think it's more the "just got to a new place and am surrounded by 30 dudes I don't know" kind of stress rather than the "some guy is yelling at me and this is hard" kind of stress. At least if it is the latter, that's gay because the only hard thing in Air Force basic is not falling asleep during all the fucking boring classes.
