A phrase sometimes used by one gay couple to describe another gay couple, where one of the two men given this moniker is tall and stout, while the other is short and thin. It is generally only uttered behind the coupleâs back, but almost always with affection and not malice. The short thin man is actually âFat Boyâ (this is the twist).
As I explained to you last week, there will be four other couples staying at the beach house. Youâve met all of them except for Alan and Mark. Theyâre a fat man and little boy, both went to college, both are in their 40âs. What else do you want to know?
To correct another personâs hyperbole or misstatement of fact in a deferential but direct manner.
Dave: Hey man, congrats on the win last night. But listen, you know that guy Jim on your team? Heâs telling people that he scored the winning goal. I know that shitâs not true because I was there and saw you score.
Mark: Thanks man. Yeah Jim is kind of becoming a self-aggrandizing dick these days. Even worse, the school newspaper has started parroting his nonsense instead of sending people to watch our games. I guess Iâll have to fauci him next week, if I hear him making stuff up. But Iâm not gonna pick a fight. Lifeâs too short. Also, did you know that, like, half of that guyâs family died last year?
Dave: Shit, no... what happened?
Mark: Remember covid19? Well Jimâs parents thought the whole thing was a hoax. And they were not shy about making their views known either. They would make these videos where the whole family would go to a grocery store, a gas station, a mall, or whatever, and just start licking stuff. They posted the videos to youtube and built up this cult following. That just emboldened them to lick more stuff. It was nuts.
Dave: And then itâs covid19 that ends up killing them! Thatâs some ironic shit.
Mark: No, it was chemtrails that killed them.
Dave: Oh shit!!! Wait, what?
Mark: They didnât realize that the feds decided to up the frequency and potency of the âtrails last summer. The only protection from chemtrails is a N95 mask.
Dave: And Jimâs family were the only ones in town who never wore masks!
Mark: Truth.
