Dutch clock weights
Jon and I are lying in bed on Friday night watching Bill Maher when he mentions that he had recently been bleeped on CBS when he referred to Tea Partiers as Tea Baggers. And he can't understand why this term is now deemed explicit because not everyone knows what it means, right? And his guest John Waters is like, um, Bill? Of course everyone knows what this means. Even that former Mormon, Heather, in your audience knows what it means, and she was twenty-two years old before she ever saw a penis outside of a textbook.
Right then I tell Jon to pause the television. "You know what it means, right?" I ask him.
"Well, yeah," he answers. "I'm pretty sure it's when the guy drags his package across your face and rests his balls in your eyes."
To describe my laughing fit as lasting forty-five minutes will underestimate it by at least an hour.
Rests his balls in your eyes? The?
I mean, I'm sure that this particular maneuver is a total turn on for some people, but the only thing I can think of when I hear this scenario is someone getting home from work and being all, dude, I am so tired. Do you think you could go stand in front of the freezer for a few minutes and then bring your balls over here and plop them on my eyes? Thanks.

You are hilarious! I can be having the worst day and all I have to do is come here to make it better. Thanks for the laughs! Somedays I'm not sure what I would do without you!

OMG!!! That is disgusting and hilarious at the same time. LOL!

HA! Totally reminds me of when we were on a girls trip to Vegas and we looked up "donkey punch" on Urban Dictionary. There was even a drawing - STICK FIGURES! - accompanying the definition. As horrible as the meaning of it is, I nearly died laughing. Even now, it's making me snort at the thought of it.

LOL!! Great "nubbin," and also, great header. I might die from the cuteness.

I learned this term from the college students I teach. They keep me current. Can't say I've used it in casual conversation yet, though.
My understanding is it started with some video game, although I forget which one. I bet one of those urban slang sites would say, although I don't want to google it on my office computer right now.
Oh, yes, we are all truly teachers and learners!

I agree with Anu: disgusting and hilarious.
ah ! Ah!
More hilarious than disgusting....

OMFG. Heather. You need HEARING AIDS.
That's all I'm going to say.

Ok laughing so hard my side aches and everyone at my office is looking at each other like - i told you, she's a total loon
ps I really want to hear the story from Jon's point of view

My best friend loves "being tea bagged" and her definition of that is having her boyfriend rest his balls in her eye socket. I SHIT YOU NOT. Maybe Jon was at the same party where she declared this to everyone in the room?

When talking with a male friend about this very thing years ago, he seemed to think he knew what it mean but when I asked him to describe it he said (and I quote), "It's when a guy dips his balls into a woman's vagina."
I am still laughing at that.

You are in the shit now Heather, lol...you called your husband out on not knowing what the most beloved liberal slight to the Tea Party really is! ROFL...
Thanks for making my day! ; )
He is so gonna rail on you for airing this to the Internet.
Ask him if he knows what any of these are:
Alabama Hot Pocket
Iraqi gas mask
the dirty sanchez
the rusty hook
the donkey punch
and last but not least...
the Cleveland steamer
NOTE: I do not condone nor do I participate in the above acts. They were explained to me by a gay friend of mine at a party one night where we were playing, "up the anty" on naming the most bizarre and revolting sexual acts we could.
He won! LOL

i absolutely love that definition. lmao!! great, now i can't erase that mental image from my brain. i can't wait to get home and read this to my bf. he'll die laughing.

In defense of Jon, apparently not EVERYONE knows what a tea bagger is. But I am sure he does now!!!

See, this is why I can't have a blog. Because if I posted that, my phone would be ringing with my husband's divorce lawyer.
05.03.11 - 02:12 PM / 14chicgeek75 said:
I'm sooo embarrassed. I only just learned this term last week by watching "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." Then again, can't say I ever heard the term.

Just to clear things up (pun intended) A Tea Bag is dipping the sac in the mouth. On the eyes is called Ball Glasses. Hope this helps Enjoy!!!

It's in your mouth, not your eyes. Not that I would know...

I can't WAIT to ask my husband if he knows what tea bagging is!
Of course, that you know the term Dutch Clock Weights...well, let's just say you've come a LONG way from the Mormon straight and narrow!

I thought John Waters made up this phrase, but I guess he just made it popular:

Mouth or forehead, apparently.

Ok ask Jon if he learned this from watching The Newlyweds - where Jessica Simpson talks about Tea bagging.
05.03.11 - 03:03 PM / 21chezmonchichi said:
I love that hours later, I can simply think about this post and laugh out loud again. Except when my 2.5 year old looks up, startled that I've burst out laughing from complete silence and asks me why I'm laughing....

I believe what Jon has described is referred to in some circles as Arabian Sunglasses.
Fantastic story. I had a similar experience with my husband while watching Zach and Miri make a porno - when it got to the Double Dutch Rudder scene.

I just registered here so I could tell you how hard I laughed out loud at this image. Classic.
05.03.11 - 03:28 PM / 24VegasNative said:
Actually, the particular move Jon described (and I'm dead serious) is called Arabian Sunglasses. If the penis is rested along the bridge of the nose it's a Roman Soldier Helmet. I know way, way, way too much about this shit.
05.03.11 - 03:55 PM / 25sweetpotatopie said:
Honestly I didn't know what it meant until your commenters "enlightened" me. I think I'll stick with Maher's version.
05.03.11 - 04:23 PM / 26mommica said:
So obviously tea bagging is not resting the balls on the eyes, but from the sounds of some of your comments, there is such a move, referred to as Arabian sunglasses. What I want to know is, how the hell is that fun for EITHER party? Is there heavy blinking involved or something?

I just about died laughing lol...I was SO expecting to open up your post and read about some cutesy little antique clock you just bought with a picture of Chuck beside it. Boy was I wrong!!!
LOVE.IT.
Now I shall daydream of men droppin their balls onto eyeballs.

So many times I've wanted to comment but was too damn lazy to register.
But I just *had* to thank you for the laugh, I've been laughing all afternoon. "Oh yeah? Well, balls in your eyes!" just might be my new retort for every dumb ass Tea Party media byte I have the misfortune to be subjected to.
And please, for your loving loyal readers, I am begging you for a follow-up post in which he defines dirty sanchez.
05.03.11 - 04:57 PM / 29Agavi said:
@sweetpotatopie, that IS Maher's definition. It wasn't a slip of a tongue. That's why it's funny.
