Sometimes it takes the prose of a literary masterpiece to see ourselves more clearly as the world sees us

Could be the first time she actively paid attention to it.

To quote the scriptures, "Pics or it didn't happen"

I have no idea what’s going on here. Is there some intricacy about the English language I’m not getting?

It's a reference to a meme about how male authors often describe female characters. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/breasted-boobily

My favourite use of this meme was in a recent episode of Tor's cabinet of Curiosities. The episode was talking about Wikipedia's lewdest editor. There was a famous Wikipedia editor who was a little too obsessed with creating hundreds of new very detailed wiki pages about super specific boob-related topics. About half way through the episode about the career of this editor, Tor started a sentence with "As he breasted boobily across Wikipedia...". At that instant I felt the meme had achieved full power. I had to pause the video and bask in the beauty of it.

Yet no one is talking about how my testicles testily testiculate down the stairs.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 5 points 7 months ago

For some reason sweaty hairy ballsacks a aren't quite as erotic. It's more of smelling thing with those and less visual. I'm sure you can find some smut describing the scent in gratuitous detail.

I never knew that. Thanks!

This is how I always perceived breasts, I can see nothing wrong here.

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago

There's an old meme of male writers writing women like 'she breasted boobily down the stairs' as in shoehorning it in. Even one of my favorites, Gene Wolfe, did this in Shadow & Claw, although it might have more to do with the character of the protagonist in those books

[–] Goretantath@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I forget who did it but someone wrote that phrase in their book. Theres a LOT of books that try to be "fancy" with their writing and use old or non standard English to do so.

[–] mastertigurius@lemmy.world 52 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Tumblr user scottbaiowulf wrote this phrase as a parody of over-sexualization of female characters in literature.

“Cassandra woke up to the rays of the sun streaming through the slats on her blinds, cascading over her naked chest. She stretched, her breasts lifting with her arms as she greeted the sun. She rolled out of bed and put on a shirt, her nipples prominently showing through the thin fabric. She breasted boobily to the stairs, and titted downwards.”

For some reason, I had never seen the last 3 words from that quote. I just did a spit take and now coffee is up my nose.

Life imitating art imitating life

for years I've been holding my breath, daring not to say it out loud. at last someone has spoken truth to power

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

How was it the first time You went down stairs?

[–] marduk@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 7 months ago
