I love asking this question :crazy:

?

Come on!! Anybody over the age of 10 knows why he can't get up from the table in that scene!!! :lol: :p

Ok then, say it! :)

The reason is the all time stretch of comic credibility, I always found it pretty unrealistic. Wanted to get some other opinions.

I don't believe I've seen that episode yet...so, why couldn't he get up from the table? :)

He probably had a boner or something like that, but anyway it would really help if you could specify when this happend.

Yes - supposedly Sam popped a boner when Rebecca was "seducing" him at Melville's.

I can't dispute it's credibility since I'm not a guy, but I've seen the same sort of thing used on other shows - Spin City for one when Mike asks "for a minute" before getting up.

I don't think it's a case of that they physically can't get up, its more because they don't want it noticed!

And since we're on the topic, when George went swimming in the cold lake on Seinfeld, I was like Elaine - first I had ever heard of shrinkage!! :lol: Amazing little appendage those things - better than Stretch Armstrong! ;)

TripperFan, bwahahha! :) That post is loaded with classics.

But yes, Rebecca is whispering to Sam all the things she's going to do to him. She gets up to leave and he says "Could you just give me a minute?" Someone finally told me he is "aroused", and I'm like, so? Never stopped me from walking around, unless you're packing socks no one is going to notice.

They did the same thing on a friend's ep, where Ross asks for a second, and starts whispering "Gramma gramma" or something like that. At least he looked down though. But I always thought it was a stupid stretch of the imagination.

:lol: Oh no - it isn't!! I've personally (and gratefully I might add) witnessed the odd "whoops" in my day and I must say its been a blast each time! And another thing - we know about it when we're dancing with you guys too.......and we like it! :lol:

Yup - remember the friends and one that had me on the floor laughing was an ep of Mad About You when Paul tries Viagra for the heck of it and ends up having to walk the streets of New York with Ira to find Jamie who ends up on the lookout at the Empire State Building. Now Paul's walking so there's not much he can do about it and they're crowded streets. He even runs into Jerry Seinfeld on the street and chases after him with Jerry freaking! It's a hilarious episode!

Might be a "stretch" (no pun intended), but they are sitcoms and everyday things are played for laughs all the time.

I know this may sound silly, but was it Jerry from "Seinfeld" or Jerry as "himself"?

Yes - supposedly Sam popped a boner when Rebecca was "seducing" him at Melville's.


I hope this doesn't sound stupid, but what is a "boner"?

Sorry...I'm not up to date on this terminology...

A big thank you to Seth for providing that link and preventing me from a banning!! :lol: Please refer to definitions #1 & #2 in the link! ;)

:lol: Hilarious Thread

Yes, and ironic that someone named "Peter" would post in this.

What's a boner? Learn something new everyday huh. Sharop, male, female, or sheltered? :)

TripperFan, another LOLOL. And we know that you know while dancing! That's the fun of it....or the slap in the face haha!

I aint no John Holmes (this thread is going to hell) but I've never been spotted or pointed at during those rare times.

LMAO!!

You just brought back a memory of watching a girlfriend on the dance floor with the hottest lifeguard I ever saw (at a lodge up north on vacation). All the girls had their eyes on him all week and she got him. We knew just how manly he was when she got him on the dance floor. I swear there were about 8 VERY jealous ladies sitting in the wings that night. All I can say is thank God for speedos under the age of 30!

And over the age of 40, any woman that's going to be insulted by one needs her head examined!! :lol: It's like shaking hands with an old friend! ;) :p

O.k. - I figured it might as well be me to bring this thread totally into the gutter! :p

Sharop, male, female, or sheltered? :)


Female and sheltered. It's my own doing. The only time I go out is when I go to the library (which, admittedly, is every day) and on the walk to school. I spend practically all of my time on my own. I am friendly with people at school, but I never see them outside of school, and sometimes I don't talk to them that much at school, if I'm not in the mood. I'm shy, and not really very sociable, so it's hardly surprising that I haven't caught up with these new terms. I've certainly never heard it here in the UK.

Actually it's not that old a term, but probably more a term used in North America. I know you have a lot of terms that we don't use or that are different over here.

Like saying, "I'll knock you up in the morning." has a whole other meaning in the U.K. than Canada or the U.S.! ;) Same with asking for a big, "meaty joint". (I've got some British friends and we laugh all the time about the differences - even though its all the same language - it almost isn't sometimes). ;) Besides, if you're in school, you still have lots of time to learn these things. :)

Yeah, I know. I like all the different slang words we use too. In England there's "Cockney rhyming slang" which I don't think is actually used that much any more, but it orgininated in London. For example, "Adam and Eve" in cockney rhyming slang is "believe", so you might hear someone say, "Would you Adam and Eve it..."

I guess I should be a little more "up to date" on stuff like that, so to speak. After all, I'm just three months away from my seventeenth birthday. I'm a bit of a weird teenager, really.

Oh ok, sorry Sharop. Had no idea of your age, or that you were in the UK. I lived in the UK for a while and I never heard "boner". I remember "Willie" but that's just a word for a guy's....

TripperFan, I had a friend from the UK over to visit. She saw an ad for the "Fanny Lifter" on an infomercial here. Fanny here is of course a butt. Fanny in the UK is a woman's.....

:eek: She was wide-eyed to say the least.

Sharop - you don't seem like a weird teenager at all! There's still lots of teens that aren't that savvy with sexual terms (and that's probably an ideal thing with HIV/AIDS and so many teen pregnancies)! ;)

My grandmother was Scottish and used a lot of Gaelic terms. I still say "oose" for dustbunnies under the bed - nobody has a clue what I'm talking about! :lol:


McFly - yeah, I can imagine the look on her face! I remember when I worked at a restaurant and out general manager was British. He got some dirt on his shirt one day when he was moving some boxes around. The district manager came in that afternoon and asked why his shirt was dirty and was shocked when he was told that he'd been "humping" all morning (which means carrying/slugging things around).

I can't add anything to THIS thread. You folks have said it all :)

ummm... this happens to be a cheers thread, not a sex ed thread. could we please get back on topic?

pat

Umm.... this happens to be about sex in the first place. Could we please learn how to CAPITALIZE?

You didn't start it and it IS about sex so if you don't like it, don't come back into it and leave the rest of us alone. You're not the topic police. :rolleyes:

it started out a cheers topic, but its gotten out of hand, it isnt cheers related anymore. im sorry, but it is a cheers board.

pat

Then its up to a mod to move it - not you.

Under table boners are great - CHEERS!!! :cheers:

ummm... this happens to be a cheers thread, not a sex ed thread. could we please get back on topic?

I don't think there's a problem with straying off topic occasionally. :) As others have said, the topic is related somewhat to what is now being talked about. I know it's turned into a bit of a chatty thread, but I don't think it's bad when it only happens occasionally. And I suspect that McFly121 didn't really intend for serious discussion about Cheers when he/she started it (please correct me if I wrong, McFly.)

I can see why it might bother you, but I don't think we've drifted majorly off-topic. And, as I said before, there's no harm in going off-topic occasionally, is there? :)

There isn't. Besides, if Pat has anything to offer to get us back on topic fine, but not just jumping in the middle of a discussion, criticising and then jumping back out. WTF is that all about? It's not like this is a super hot thread where lots of people are posting and it gets confusing.

Besides, to me, it still is on topic somewhat.

sorry to sound so testy before, i really didnt mean it. thanks sharop for understanding me somewhat. i guess you really havent drifted too far off topic. and i must admit, ive drifted a little at times myself. just didnt sound like something to be posted in a cheers board. but as long as its somehow related to cheers, go right ahead.

btw, i never really noticed the meaning of why sam did that until this thread was started! it is a very funny topic :lol:

thanks for "showing me the light" everyone. i dont really have anything to add other than that. can we be board pals again?

pat

I also learned that smoking a fa g in England is very different than in the US. :lol:

wow i cant believe you didnt know that already. people usually tend to be smartasses and change a word around just for mockery.

ie, gay used to mean happy, now it means in the words of frasier crane, "stylish"

Actually, the changing of the meaning of gay makes a lot of sense. Stereotypically, homosexuals are portrayed as always being happy. So, they are in effect.... gay.

hmmmm.... good point, but gay really did only mean happy back in the day.

pat

.... just as we say "happy" to mean "happy" (and nothing more than that) today.

Meanwhile, to many, it couldn't be any further from the truth. Wasn't until recently on a thread somewhere in chitchat, that I saw a couple who had posted and apparently they're offended by the term. I dunno anymore - I can't keep up with political correctness! :lol: I just type gay cuz it's a lot shorter than "homosexual" and to type "homo" seems insulting.

Like the term hippy - used to mean being big in the hips until the 60s kicked in. O.k. - now we ARE getting off topic here....!!

Personally, I'd like to hear any funny tales from personal experience (whilst still keeping the terminology PG13) if any of the guy's are bold enough to share them! :lol: Or if anyone can think of other shows that used the same gag (other than Spin City and Friends which we've already covered). (And rather than starting another thread we can go either way - boners or shrinkage.......amazing phenomeon the "little man" is)!

And Pat (TV DVD Fan) - you are forgiven. :wave: It did come across a little snotty. I know we're slightly digressing here, but its been funny. McFly had me peeing myself a couple of times there.

great, thanks for understanding! :wave: :happyface :lol:

erm yeah they are TOTALLY different things :lol:

Yes - you certainly wouldn't want to "bum" a *** in England....(well, some might, but that's an entirely different thread)!! ;)


"Peter" over here is sometimes used as another name for a willie!! ;)

... McFly had me peeing myself a couple of times there.



a little too much information there.

"Under table boners are great", LOL. You said a mouthful....woops, bad choice of words :crazy:

a little too much information there.


Obviously used in the literary sense - get over it. :p

Well no you wouldnt :lol:

Oh Geez, dont tell me that :(

Oh Geez, dont tell me that :(


Sorry - but it's true! I remember in the 70s there was a craze of joke "Peter Heaters". They were knitted things that looked like a sock with tassles!! ;)

Is your real name Peter too or just your screenname? (at least a screenname can be changed)!! :lol:

Cool - great name - I've always loved the name Peter! (No relation to Brian May tho I guess ;) )

You do share the name of a famous author tho - I googled ya yesterday! :lol:

Not too worry - it could be worse - you could have been William (Willy), or Richard (Dick) or like a friend of mine - Albert C. Hung. When I asked him what the "C" stood for he replied, "Considerably well" :rofl:


(mine's Cathie btw) :D
