Would it work nowadays when every single American pussy is shaven or at least trimmed?
To me it would sound peculiar, as if he noticed that strangely she is hairy, hence comments on that, her hairyness, rather than her pussy in general.
Anybody even still uses the term beaver?
What the hell are you talking about? The whole scene is about him making a compliment about her exceptional stuffed beaver. She even hands it over to him?
shareI guess I missed it...
shareYou forgot /sarcasm at the end of your post! In the movie we know everything is sarcasm. On the MC post we should be using
/sarcasm.
Go back to GO and don't collect your $200!
/sarcasm.
BTW non-programmers, / is a symbol for "end".
I'm sure that many younger people know what beaver is supposed to mean, even though they may have never seen one.
shareYes but the point is, who would call a pussy a beaver if it's all shaven clean?
shareMillennials and zoomers would most likely not use the word themselves, but that's not to say they wouldn't get what it meant. So it might be an older or dying expression, but not really extinct yet.
shareI doubt any Gen X or boomer would call it a beaver if it has no hair at all.
shareGen X, no, as I believe they were the ones who started shaving, but some boomers AFAIK still like bush and are very much opposed to shaving, using arguments like that it is pedophilic or making way for acceptance of pedophilia in society. So there are still boomers who say beaver and that's where I as a millennial learned it from.
shareYes but you are not following here.
The point is:
he SEES her genitals.
Hence he says "nice beaver".
NOWADAYS, when every single American pussy is shaven or at least trimmed, that would make little sense, because NOBODY, be it a Gen X, millennial, boomer, or from 1700, would say beaver AFTER SEEING THAT HAIRLESS PUSSY.
Makes sense?
Yes, it is obviously outdated in that sense if that's the point you're trying to make. This was made in a time when most women had a bush. But it's outdated if you would try to look at it as if it was made today.
shareYes, that is why the joke was funny back then, while now I think is outdated a bit.
shareIsn't "pussy" also a reference to it's hairyness? Does anybody think of one of these hairless cats first?
shareIs it?
I thought it was a vague reference to how cute it is. Not how hairy.
While beaver is strictly about the fur.
Beavers are also cute π
shareYes they are but still, would you sooner say you are as hairy as a beaver or you are as cute as a beaver?
shareAlmost all mammals are hairy, but only a few are cute... π€
shareI would say the opposite.
But a beaver is famous for its fur more than its cuteness.
TBH I am not a fan of beaver for female genitals, what about blondes?
I've never seen a blonde beaver.
You see? Some say pussies are called pussies because of their cuteness, some say because of their hairyness. But there are still pussies which are not that cute and there are pussies which are properly shaven... Nice theme for philosophizing.
shareCertainly, it's up there with "are we alone in the universe" and "the purpose of life".
shareGood point. But I think pussy is more of a defined word now, rather than slang. BEAVER is more a SLANG than an actual definition, if this makes any sense at all.
shareThis is a hilarious post, and this thought has also crossed my mind over the years. I just can't believe that I'm now seeing it in print, LOL!
"Beaver" is still understood as slang for pussy, which is a euphemism for vulva. Hairy or not, it probably doesn't matter. Besides, the joke was meant to work in 1988, which it succeeded at perfectly.
shareI do t know you well enough to make that judgement.
