Is that the entire definition? Are you completely unaware of the origin of the expression? Or just feigning ignorance?

I'm aware now. Not originally though.

Circle jerking- my guess is that many here know what that is and some have participated in it.

That’s quite the confession MG!

Again, I did not know the gross meaning of circle jerking when I used the term. What is of import, however, is how it might apply here. In the non-pornographic meaning/application that I originally had in mind.

Interesting how some folks lose their focus and try to change the focus and stray (purposefully?) off topic. Wouldn't be the first time. Another tactic of the trolls.

Sorry, MG - I think that you're again jumping to conclusions that Emerson would counsel against.

He knew what it meant when he used the term. It's not the first time he's resorted to comments like this and then 'pretended' he didn't know what he was saying.

If, as he claims, MG had no idea of the sexual connotation of the term "circle jerk", would you expect him to "guess that many here know what that is and some have participated in it"? Given his already stated opinion of the existence of collaboration amongst certain posters, and their mutually-supporting posts, would he really have to guess, or could he not simply state it as fact?

I could be wrong, but it sounds to me like MG was not totally unaware that there was another meaning of the term, and that his "guess" that "some have participated in it" was intended as a judgement on "some" of us.

If, as he claims...

He knows darn well what it is and intended it as that. He was a middle-school teacher for like 30+ years! Good lord, I'm sure he knows way more crass sexual terminology than any of us do! (at least up until the point of retirement, but this term was well within his purview).

Do you really think anyone believes you?

Elementary school. And no, initially I did not know what that term referred to other than what I said.

A person learns all kinds of things around here. Even some things one might rather not have witnessed being brought up. I guess we have one particular poster to thank for that.

If that's the right word? I'd rather he hadn't brought it up. For one thing, it played a part in derailing the discussion at that point as a number of people got all worked up.

Par for the course around here. Much ado about nothing.

Elementary school.

Even worse given you worked in Utah. Now it's sealed what you knew. I was raised in California amongst the Mexican gang kids and all else. My life was playing four-square, jungle-gym games and kickball. Up to fifth grade I never even thought about a girl and barely knew what adversity was. I moved to Utah, and I had no idea what I was seeing. All the kids were obsessed with sex and knew all the terms (that you know and the teachers there must know). And instead of stuff like, the white-elephant gift party I had in 5th grade, about the last I remember there, the first thing I remember in Utah fifth grade was a school dance where kids are "slow-dancing" and I'm like wtf is this?

And that's because in small conservative towns, everything is about sex because everything is about gender roles and brainwashing kids into young relationships that forces them to grow up and find God. Teen pregnancy is off-the-charts. But it's better that then the kid have an idle thought about metaphysics that puts the norms of their elders into question.

You knew what the term meant, it's it's not the first crass language you've used on this forum.
