Theo calling girls nickname Beacon Burger Dog was that sexist - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I always thought it was out of Theo's character to think of girls as food with his one liner Beacon Burger Dog, do you think it was a playful or sexist word ???

Theo and Cockroach referred to girls as burgers, not bacon burger dogs. Bacon burger dogs was just something that Cliff made when he BBQ'd.

Calling a girl a burger was stupid, but not sexist. I'm thinking you don't know what the word sexist means?

I am a grown man i no what the word sexist mean it could mean discriminating a woman based on her gender she might want to get a job at a place where men mostly work but cant get the job because she is female or men saying women should say home and cook and men go out to work and make big money, or maybe a Boy calls a girl a sexist word like Burger in a perverted way like Theo and Cockroach called girls Burgers they were teenager they ment that word in a sexual way lets get real, Denise even tells them that they shouden't use that word to call girls or women because its offensive.

I'm glad you know what the word means.

However, you didn't say what is sexist about "burger." It's not a word I've ever heard used outside of the show. It's not a derogatory name for a body part or anything; it was just a silly teenage word they came up with.

I don't know that it's sexist, but I would say it's probably about as demeaning to women as referring to them as "chicks" or "dolls" or "babes" or "foxes", etc.

He didn't call them "bacon burger dog's, him and cockroach called girls they liked "double burgers". If they really liked them they called them "double burgers with cheese"!
