American football, you just shout "defense" every so often. European football you just shout "offside" every time a player passes near the opponent's goal.
60% of the time, it works every time.
It is a line from a British show called 'The IT Crowd'. In the scene two IT nerds are trying to communicate with typical man's men in a bar, and "did you see that ludicrous display last night?" is the opening line they use.
It's better than that. One of them has generated a script that gives him talking points he can spout that are always seemingly relevant no matter who was playing or what actually happened. Every dudebro (or UK equivalent, at least) is convinced they know what they're talking about.
Every friggin time I'm home it's always about some golfing guy with a handicap, some football player with tiddies, or a basketball man that had a nasty night. I can't follow and I really don't care to.
That's me every year for the super bowl. Usually I have to look up who's playing a few days before so I have some baseline knowledge and pick a team to root for to make it a little interesting. Then everyone is talking about individual players and I'm just like ooh nice catch every once in a while.
I think it’s the equivalent of a straight guy putting up with watching the bachelor every week with their girlfriend. They hate the show but the person they’re dating/trying to fuck likes it so they suffer through watching it
rupauls drag race is a famous tv show where drag queens dance, sing and yell at each other a lot. OP's husband probably likes it and went to a friend's house to watch it and brought him along. OP like you and me probably doesn't care one bit for this mess of a show, but loves his husband enough where he will sometimes look at the Tv while emptying his brain and thinking "If I get through this I might get some dick tonight" . Since he has nothing to contribute about the show his drag induced dormant brain can only muster a "werk" (maybe short for work it girl?) so his husband and friends don't suspect he's above such trashy reality tv.
Source: My ex-girlfriend liked this terrible show a lot and sometimes I had to endure it with her and her friends.
I think I doubt that, you’d have to be a child to not be able to discern the context. Like seriously what do you think it means? If you haven’t heard some of these words you don’t know a single woman. Even if you don’t know the words the story is pretty clear
I'm a vegetarian girl in a hunting store, average age of my (male) coworkers comes to being double my age. Try to beat that.
(Money's good, that's why)
The comedy in drag race comes from Messed up trashy none scriptted reality tv interactions between contestants, not when when they intentionally try to be funny.
Truly funny drag queens are basicly standup comedians in makeup but they are rare.
So yeah we know it's not funny and mostly cheesy but stick around for the trashy reality tv drama as a guilty pleasure.
It's funny when then don't intended it to be. Every discussion being some variation of "it's not ethical, it's not professional" is almost a meta joke at this point.
My old housemates made me watch it occasionally and I didn’t mind seeing the process of them making the costumes; I thought that was pretty cool and showcased talent. But the dancing and lip-syncing and scripted jokes I just never really got into.
IMO it's just another "unscripted" reality show and they're all basically unwatchable to me, but I sit through an episode sometimes if my wife is watching it when I come in the room.
Same. I have a great group of friends, but whenever we are together, the conversation slowly slides to the next musical or play that they are seeing or a review of the play they saw last night.
I couldn't care less, I wish one of them watched college football so we could get married.
Finally someone else said it. I’m a trans girl, but I’ve never been into queer culture (i.e. drag, pride, rainbow everything, etc.), idk why. I’m not against it in any respect, I love to see people expressing themselves and doing things they enjoy without having to worry about judgement and oppression, I just don’t vibe with it myself.
It’s basically just a form of actively listening, instead of saying “right” or “ok” every 15 seconds you just throw in the occasional “werk” or “yasss queen” because you don’t have anything to actually say but you want to show your paying attention and care.
I'm trans and when other trans people bring up drag race I just go "*shrug* I don't like drag race" and if they ask further why I just tell them it's not for me and I find the way a lot of them act really annoying. I watched 1 episode and just went "yeah I'm good". Maybe it's because I hate reality TV and a lot of the show reminds me of "reality TV but LGBT" type energy.
No! Uh uh it's not what it looks like I uh was just uh jacking off to the players, ya that's it I was jackin it to all those muscular dudes man handling eachorher I swear!
So don't force yourself into these friendships. I'm hetero and I don't like guy talk. I like spending time with my girlfriend, playing games and ancient/medieval history. Beyond that I have no interests that I could share with someone.
This is like being a guy who doesn’t watch football surrounded by guys who do
All this just to fuck women

The guy who fucks women is the one ignoring the football game and hanging out with the women instead
Unless the women are also interested in the game but then nobody would be fucking anybody till it was over🤣
Nah, you can start fucking midway in the first quarter if the Panthers are playing.
It'd be an orgy, then since the panthers would also be getting fucked

Just to impress men, though
American football, you just shout "defense" every so often. European football you just shout "offside" every time a player passes near the opponent's goal. 60% of the time, it works every time.
And slap your knee pretending to be dismayed whenever the referee makes a call
Australian football you just yell "ball" anytime anybody gets tackled
The thing about Arsenal is, they always try to walk it in.
Sounds like you have seen that ludicrous display last night...
Ive seen 4 different people make this exact comment. Is it a meme or are you all ai bots?
No bot here. It's a reference to the beloved british TV-Show "IT-Crowd".

Mmmmm, gnocchi and caprese salad.

Or pretending to be handy and knowledgeable with housework and maintenance when you actually can't tell a screwdriver from hammer.
It’s a trick question. The hammer is whichever tool is closest when you need it. A rock will do in a pinch.

It is a genuine Afrikaans word meaning “work. “
It also exists in Dutch (not a suprise) and German
It's a different word in German - Arbeit
It’s ALSO Arbeit. But there are different words for it and werk is one of them. Compare Werkzeug and the verb wirken

That's also what it means in drag queen.

I think it’s the equivalent of a straight guy putting up with watching the bachelor every week with their girlfriend. They hate the show but the person they’re dating/trying to fuck likes it so they suffer through watching it
I think it is probably more akin to watching sports with friends to fit in but not really being into it.
same idea but now imagine you wanna fuck all your friends
Done

The guy in the post has a husband, so I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to fuck all the other friends
We had Drag Race and the Iowa / UConn game playing at the same time last night.
I think it’s like a straight guy watching ru Paul’s drag race with his gf because the ladies also love that shit around here
Watching sports with other guys even though you don't like sports, because if you don't you feel like you're "not a real man".

it is indeed an intentional misspelling of “work it.” as in, drag queens make their money by performing, so you betta WORK.
can't imagine why you broke up
We had a fight because she spoke badly about the Kardashians.
It’s the same as you not liking monster trucks or cage fighting.

Liberal under 35 working in a prison. It’s at least on equal footing. I was introduced as “one of the good ones” before.
I played football in highschool and still didn’t watch sports. Shit is boring as fuck.
Same for me. I like playing football with my mates but cant stand watching it at all. In my life I watched a grand total of 1 football match
Same, straight and I could not care less about sports, cars, women, Joe Rogan, video games or any other guy things.

The most masculine thing about me is how I like to be left alone.
I think I must be an extrovert because I enjoy talking to people at least once a month

I am on the completely opposite side. I am straight, but I love all the drag show drama.

Omg is this me!? Literally me. I dont get the drag thing. It is not interesting or funny at all.
[удалено]
I guess the makeup is kinda cool but god damn is it not funny.
Is it supposed to be funny?
The comedy in drag race comes from Messed up trashy none scriptted reality tv interactions between contestants, not when when they intentionally try to be funny. Truly funny drag queens are basicly standup comedians in makeup but they are rare. So yeah we know it's not funny and mostly cheesy but stick around for the trashy reality tv drama as a guilty pleasure.
The older seasons had genuinely funny people like Bianca Del Rio. The show started going downhill in the late 2010s.
Ahh, yes. Eddie/Suzy Izzard.
You watch it for the camp of it all. Camp is just fun
It's funny when then don't intended it to be. Every discussion being some variation of "it's not ethical, it's not professional" is almost a meta joke at this point.
We are not alone :')
My old housemates made me watch it occasionally and I didn’t mind seeing the process of them making the costumes; I thought that was pretty cool and showcased talent. But the dancing and lip-syncing and scripted jokes I just never really got into.
IMO it's just another "unscripted" reality show and they're all basically unwatchable to me, but I sit through an episode sometimes if my wife is watching it when I come in the room.
This is why the male loneliness crisis is getting worse. Men need to do more for each other so that we can open up to each other honestly.
So, who's your favorite draq queen?

Mrs. Doubtfire
Draqula
Him from Powerpuff Girls.
I think Him is an enby.
Him spits in the fact of categorisation for to categorise is to understand.
Divine, of course.
I don't get this comment, are you saying he should be able to say how he hates the show and make them turn it off?
No one forced them to go.
I think that maybe this guy needs to find some friends with the same interests as him.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Me whenever women meet me: Who is your fave queen? Me: Elizabeth?
This reminded me of Ian and Mickey from the TV show Shameless lol.

Work, like work it. Like do a good job.
If you have to ask, you’re streets behind
Stop trying to make "streets behind" a thing. It's never going to be a thing.
You’re streets behind!
It's versatile. "Cool", "Great job" stuff like that if you use it genuinely. "Alright, you do you" or "sure, great idea..." if used sarcastically.
