Do pick-up lines ever work?
If you ever want to do a little “single” people watching, hang out at a sports bar or in the mall. You will probably notice the completely entertaining ways we approach one another.
I have seen women literally go out of their way to “bump” into a good-looking man (ok, that was actually me); I have even spotted a guy walk up and ask a woman if she wanted to fly to Las Vegas for the weekend!
Whatever the approach is, I always wonder if the person has ever used that pick up line before and more importantly, did it actually work?
Do you use pick up lines to do cold approaches? I have to say that the right line from the right man could probably work like a charm. Maybe they aren’t all bad!
What is the best/worst pick up line you have used on someone?
I would love to hear those “you had me at hello” stories that only seem to happen in the movies! Has someone ever had your attention (in a good way!) from the moment your eyes met? What did they say?

This blog is a riot but its been taken over entirely by black humor. I can’t understand the lingo, the double entendres, the language that is not known to us folk. Can you please discuss in a manner that all can understand!! Even your monikers identify you- the melo’s, sexy cools, innanet dude, etc. Help!

Off in the distance, you hear an echo…
A cold wind blows.
A tumbleweed rolls by
Silence

whitey – Oh and last time I checked, Purple wasn’t black. He maybe able to translate for you if you become confused on the English presented here.
Purp – would you mind escorting our new friend and giving them the tour, rules, guidelines, etc of blogsville? (Slim now whispers to Purp) Try to speak a little slower though and you may wanna put your wang back up until after its sex is determined.

Perhaps, like the DEA, you should employ the skills of an Ebonics translator.
Just realized that I am officially bilingual. I should ask for a pay raise.

I can’t understand the lingo, the double entendres, the language that is not known to us folk.
whitey The etymology of “double entendre” is french, inidicating that the usage of “double meaning” as a colloquial and literary tool is in no way unique to blacks. Not to mention that the usage of double meaning is present in ALL languages going back to the most ancient literary sources. Besides, people from many cultures and ethnicities comment on this blog regularly and have no problem expressing their perspectives or understanding those of others. The inability to comprehend is actually a deficiency in communication skills.
