“However, if I may query one of your points, the “wake up darling” one could be a self-deprecating joke indicating that the bloke’s performance is so poor that the woman finds it difficult to stay awake…”

I actually imagined that as a woman saying it, in a prim, patronising voice, to her dispassionate husband.

Same with “please stop crying” – it is actually quite funny if you picture it as intense embarrassment over an inexplicable fit of post-coital sobbing.

Though all the ‘bitch’ and ‘rohypnol’ ones are just predictable and tedious.

Is auto-eroticism two words or one?

*Siiiiiigh*.
And some people think there’s no need for feminism any more…

Love the interpreting misogynists idea, JenniferRuth.

Hmmm…could always start our own hash tags:

#interpretingmisogynists
e.g. “Everything I did, I did for her.” means “She saw right through me and wouldn’t put out.”
“Nice guys finish last…” means “I never asked out and am inexplicably upset that she started dating someone else.”
“Why don’t women talk to me?” means “Why don’t women that *I* think are attractive talk to me?”

I could come up with loads.

Might even get me to sign up for Twitter that would!

I laughed at the UKIP one too. Unfortunately then I imagined Nigel Farage in a post coital glow, smoking a cigar, neatly pressed union jack boxers round his ankles, and I felt a bit iffy.

But c’mon, once something like Twitter reaches critical mass, it will start to reflect real life, and arseholes live in real life. As Jack suggests, though, if you only stick to your friends, you’ll only get the intelligent, witty, non-hating side of it.

Or change your friends.

I had been enjoying the #3wordsaftersex thing, but fortunately for me I have not been following the hashtag, and had only seen the tweets of people I follow – who fortunately have more sense/ taste/ decency than the people you quote.

However, if I may query one of your points, the “wake up darling” one could be a self-deprecating joke indicating that the bloke’s performance is so poor that the woman finds it difficult to stay awake…

Personally, I’d go for “Leave my supermarket!” or something like that…

I also like the UKIP’s one: particularly as if you tried those three words before, your chance of actually getting any might decline sharply…

I think something’s made me immoral Cath. However if I may hijack your blog for a brief public service announcement. If you are logged into wordpress, and you’re invited you should be able to still read my blog. If not, I hope to be back ASAP.
