bigque Posted June 7, 2022 #56 Share Posted June 7, 2022 It ever cease to amaze me the people who want you to conform to what they think the style should be in a restaurant so that they can feel a certain way! Wow! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in East Texas for a bit...tractor pulls are popular among the trailer dwellers and other like-minded folk, who also like to yell "yee haw" for no apparent reason.

poocher Posted June 7, 2022 #59 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Northeast elitist here but I think they put something heavy behind a tractor & they measure how far the tractor can pull it. 🤷♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baelor Posted June 7, 2022 Author #60 Share Posted June 7, 2022 4 hours ago, orville99 said: So essentially fancy swim trunks No. Running shorts, along with many athletic shorts, have built-in underwear (or "liners"). They are made of different material than swim trunks, and swim trunk liners are generally mesh, whereas athletic short liners are typically woven-in athletic underwear. For example, these: https://shop.lululemon.com/p/men-shorts/Pace-Breaker-Out-Of-Mind-Liner-9/_/prod8980444?color=5410. They are very versatile and comfortable, which is why I have around 13 pairs.

Is "trailer dweller" derogatory, like "trailer trash," or is it neutral/positive? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rudeney Posted June 7, 2022 #64 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Being from Alabama where we have more trailers than flies on a dead cow, I guess that makes me an expert on terms for referring to persons who reside in pre-manufactured mobile homes. Yes, the term "trailer trash" is derogatory and may get you punched in the face if you call someone that. The term "trailer dweller" is more complicated. Most trailer trash would not recognize the word "dweller" so it might be interpreted as "trailer feller" and that would probably be accepted as non-derogatory. It could also be interpreted as "trailer twirler", which sounds like what a tornado does. Just like maliciously yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater, yelling "Tornado!" in a trailer park when there is none is a felony punishable by up to 3 years in jail. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalTexCruiser Posted June 7, 2022 #65 Share Posted June 7, 2022 So back to the OP's OP (original poster's original post), will you really go to one of the nicer specialty restaurants on the ship in a short with built-in underwear? And do you own open-toed sandals to accessorize? And do they sell such sandals with built-in socks? 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbeyg Posted June 7, 2022 #72 Share Posted June 7, 2022 There is a (demented) part of me that is thrilled to see these types of threads back at CC.
