“You Are Pretty For A Big Girl”, Is Not A Compliment. What The Hell Is That About?!

Pretty woman blackWhen was the last time someone said to you: “You have a pretty face”, “You’re pretty for a Black lady”, or “You’re handsome for a big guy”? How many times has someone said this bullshit to you? Or, how many times have you said that bullshit to someone else? Before we go any further, those statements are very insulting. There’s so much to be said in regards to those fake ass “compliments”. Honestly, don’t know if I can say it all.

Why do you need to add a disclaimer to the compliment? When you do that, you negate everything you preceding the disclaimer. It is not longer a compliment it is now an insult. You think you’re being nice when you say that shit, but you’re not.

Here are a few of the fucked of compliemts that come to mind:

“She is a pretty dark-skinned girl” – Okay, are you shocked that someone with dark skin can be pretty? Or have you been taught that dark skin is ugly? Why can’t you just say she’s pretty.
“She has a very pretty face” – Are you saying the rest of her is fucked up? Why are you just pointing out her face?
“He’s handsome for a big guy” – Can a big guy be handsome or sexy without you saying the “big guy” remark?
“You look good for your age” – Does beauty have an expiration date?

There are so many more. To mention them all would take all damn day. Plus, it was just a thought I had.

Note: Pretty is pretty and handome is handsome so remove the damn disclaimers.

I fogot to ask, is someone calling you a BBW a compliment?

All Men Can’t Barbecue

Let’s face it, all men can not barbecue. For some odd reason every mans claim to fame is how the meat on their ribs just fall off the bone…bullshit. Telling a ‘griller’ his ribs aren’t that tender or his steaks weren’t that juicy is pretty damn hard. Shit, sometimes it has to be said. It’s hard, but it’s fair. Some ‘grillers’ need to stick to hot dogs and hamburgers and leave the ribs and other shit for the real ‘grillers’. It’s okay if you’re just ‘hot dog man’. It doesn’t make you any less of a man. Just know that to women, the ‘griller’ is sexy.

At every cookout you go to, you see a guy grilling the meat. Sometimes, the person grilling shouldn’t be. It’s probably his house and a guy will definitely not let another guy come over and grill on his grill. That’s the same as allowing you you to sleep with his wife. If a guy let’s another guy on his grill, he condones swinging. That’s another post.
This guy is ‘The Griller’

This guy is ‘THE Griller’

A real ‘griller’ doesn’t mind revealing a few of their secrets on grilling. Note: That’s how you can spot a real ‘griller’. The ‘griller’ will tell you how they marinated their ribs in a special sauce all damn night so they could have that distinctive taste. Not only that, they will tell you that they taste so good, you don’t even need sauce. The ‘griller’ will go so far as to leaving the grill lit all night so the smoke can be ready for the next day. The ‘griller’ will aslo educate you on how to pick out good meat. By the way, real men burn the meat. If you don’t see any black on your meat; go kick the damn grill over and slap the guy on the grill, because he is not a ‘griller’.

As I write this, I’m realizing there is a difference between a guy that can grill and a guy that can barbecue. A ‘griller’ brags about his meat and a’cuer’ brags about his sauce. A ‘griller’ doesn’t give a damn how the sauce tastes because as they told you, you don’t need it. And a ‘cuer’ will not really care about the meat, because the sauce will drown out the taste of the meat. Well, I’ll be damned. I’m not rewriting this shit…you get the point.

The next time you go to a cookout, be prepared to listen to the rituals of the ‘griller’. Because, the ‘griller’ wants to tell you how they did it.

Why do Gold Teeth Scare You?

Let me see your grill! 14kt baby baby!

Let me see your grill! 14kt baby baby!

What is it about gold teeth that scare people? I know it’s another way to express one’s creativity but it can be a little intimidating. Okay a lot of intimidating. Are there just no limits on expressions anymore? How do these people work? What kind of jobs do they have? How do they eat? Look anytime I see someone with a pimped out set of teeth I instantly wonder if they are going to snatch my purse. I know that’s so wrong but I can’t help it. I even hear having gold teeth is so serious that folk get dentures in order to get gold teeth!

What the hell is really going on?

Well the good thing is that at least she is gold outed from the teeth to the earrnings. If you are going to do the damn thing, then do it right!
