Just Wondering
Posted by Harvey at 06:55 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (65)

Is there an official name for that "move your head from side to side while wagging your finger back & forth" thing that black women do?

Chickenhead??

#2 - Posted by: annette on June 22, 2006 06:58 PM

it's called the " i know who my baby daddy is!!!"

#3 - Posted by: dan c on June 22, 2006 07:07 PM

I think its called "uh, uh, guuurrrllfriend!"

Jeez, I feel like a dirty racist for saying that. The liberal Orwellian comment police (a.k.a. MFL) is gonna 'rrest me!

I think its either called that or "keepin it real." Just make sure that keeping it real doesn't go wrong.

#4 - Posted by: Jay on June 22, 2006 07:13 PM

affectionatly its called

"Oprah Neck"

#5 - Posted by: martin luther on June 22, 2006 07:21 PM

That is similar to what a cobra does when it is "dancing". A black woman in "cobra mode" is watching the objectof her ire for any weakness and an opportunity to strike. Surprisingly, in cobra mode she kills by crushing or pummeling as opposed to poisoning. Go figure.

#6 - Posted by: John E. Kelly on June 22, 2006 07:34 PM

I don’t know what it’s called, but you better get your jewels out of striking distance.

#7 - Posted by: Neo-andertal on June 22, 2006 07:38 PM

I call it the "MMM-HM!"

#8 - Posted by: Damian G. on June 22, 2006 07:46 PM

It's called the "Oh no, you didn't!"

#9 - Posted by: on June 22, 2006 08:06 PM

It's pronounced, "Di'in't."

Cracka'.

#10 - Posted by: Damian G. on June 22, 2006 08:22 PM

I believe the technical term is the Loquacia Maneuver.

#11 - Posted by: George guy on June 22, 2006 08:45 PM

No really i think it's the "You gotta have a J-O-B if you want to be with me"

now i know i'm going to hell

I'm gonna have to second "ghetto neck." It fits.

"This is one of the most fucking pointless and retarded sites they are."

That's not a proper use of the word "they", and now the entire meaning of his sentence is lost on me.

I mean, he could have meant "there", but then he should have said "...one of the most pointless and retarded sites there is.", because he's talking about one site and not the plural sites mentioned in the prepositional phrase "of the most pointless...". So that can't be it...and now the entire meaning of his comment is totally lost on me.

#17 - Posted by: Tristan on June 22, 2006 11:08 PM

UUUUUUGH!

You know, I should really just avoid being a wise-ass, because I always do something like put the same sentence twice.

Remember kids, editing and revision are your friends.

#18 - Posted by: Tristan on June 22, 2006 11:11 PM

Tristan

That’s OK, at least you didn’t unleash a buttload of pompus bombast on a friendly. Now that’s embarrassing. I’m still suffering from PTSD.

Oh ya, than there was the time I mistakenly pasted some bullshit from the comment section into the middle of a proposal. Never do paperwork and shoot bull at the same time. I’m glad a caught it. I can just imagine the customers face. What The…??

Jambo,
What is a typical american? Someone who hates 99% of the american population.
First wasps migrated to north-america because of their religious intolerance. England and The Netherlands were much too liberal for those fundamentalists, now they run the country unaware of the real motive of the jews behind the banking system, show business and the porno industry: to destroy christian civilization.
The Irish migrated because they were starving.
The Scandinavian, Transalpinos and Iberians were always the ones looking for an adventurous and hopefully better life and built most of America.
The Eastern Europeans are mostly jews.
The Africans never wanted to migrate, they were taken by the bastards above as slaves.
Do not mind me and continue with your civil war.

Two recent political leaders allegedly had this nefarious habit.

Both came to power after dubious elections, by non-electorial and irregular methods.

Both nations immediately experienced attacks on famous public buildings.

Both blamed an ethnic minority before forensics had any evidence.

Both led "witch-hunts" against the accused minority.

Both suspended civil liberties "temporarily."

Both put the citizenry under surveillance.

Both maintained secret and clandestine governments.

Both launched wars against most of the world.

One had a funny mustache. Can you name the other one?

The nefarious habit mentioned in the last comment is cocaine abuse.

As Voltaire (French terrorist)said, "The only way to comprehend what mathematicians mean by Infinity is to contemplate the extent of human stupidity."
By reading this blog and some of the comments I finally had a glimpse of infinity. Most obliged.

The Wilson-Bush Letters:
19 Hermes 80 p.s.U.

Your Royal Fraudulency King George II:

I wish to support your efforts to abolish as much as possible of the federal government and transfer its functions to faith-based organizations. I suggest that you should apply this idea especially to the controversial matter of capital punishment.

Let faith-based organizations take over our seasonal rites of human sacrifice; after all, they invented the institution in the first place, and it requires ardent faith to believe in it in the 21st Century. Distribute the boodle evenly to all faiths, so that Roman Catholics can burn offenders at the stake, in accord with their own faith-based system, Protestants can revive the public hanging, Moslems and orthodox Jews can employ stoning to death, Mormons can use bullets, Sikhs can chop off heads again, etc.

The federal funds so spent will not only boost the power of faith-based groups, but will proportionally decrease the influence of research-based groups, who often destroy faith and encourage doubt anyway.Think how much this will aid the drug war alone, along with most of your other programs, and you will see the long-range benefits of this modest proposal.

Hoping that this will meet with your approval, I remain

Your serf and servant,
Robert Anton Wilson

Spacemonkey - The trick is... they're all the same guy, and they just post scripts.

Anyway, I guess this means they hate black women, since they don't know the name of that move.

#32 - Posted by: Harvey on June 23, 2006 10:19 AM

Porto - go munch a reality bar.

Viva Ghana - Happy to be of service. Very sorry to learn that long-dead french philosophers are terrorizing West Africa. That must be a bitch! We have that problem too, except it's with actual living idiots who think they have the right to kill anyone who disagrees with them. See how much we have in common! As for your quote of Voltaire, I'm not familiar with it. I am familiar with this one: "'Oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it." Just sayin'.

G - No, to me, Voltaire is a somewhat irrelevant dead French aristocrat who was known in his time for being a little loose in the caboose...but quite the life of the party. What is he to you?

Nothing. It sounded appropriate.

Harvey, I don't know what that shakey-head/finger thing is called. The strange thing is that nobody does it better than Kathy Griffin. You might want to ask her what it's called.

I have ...
The place is a stinking Turdpile !

I have emailed Kathy Griffin's fans via her website and will report back in two weeks if there are any responses from Kathy or her fans. I included in my emailed query a link to this post and another to imao.us's homepage, so if imao gets a Kathy-Launch I want credit for it. Because its all about the street cred, man.....

Harvey - Not that I'm pointing fingers, a-hem, but in bass fishing it's generally not considered sportsmanlike to catch the same fish twice. Does same 'rule' apply when fishing for moonbats?

#51 - Posted by: Viva Porto do MFL on June 23, 2006 01:25 PM

Speedy - if that's the case, it's called "narcissistic monomaniacal onanism" (with delusions of normalcy).

Head Wobble.

My older, dearly departed brother Paul called it the head wobble. So that's what everyone in our family calls it. If we were watching a movie or something where a girl would do that Paul would say "She's really got that Head Wobble goin' don't she?"

Harvey - 50-plus tags on a simple/innocent/benign question shows real tallent. He'll probably have Rove slit my throat for writing this, but you might get your book deal before Frank J does. Possible title: "Fishing for Moonbats - The Argument Against Catch and Release."

#55 - Posted by: Viva Porto do MFL on June 23, 2006 04:09 PM

Second on "head wobble." When the head wobbling woman subsequently expresses shock at her intended victim's failure to shut the hell up, she may be inclined to follow up with the "head weeble" which is an extension of the neck and head at a backward angle (not unlike the beam of a catapult being cocked) and an accompanying expression of wide-eyed, angry disbelief.

If you fail to heed the head wobble and find yourself in head weeble territory, shut up and stand still. Anything else will inspire an event referred to by experts as "repeated, numbing blows to the face and kidneys."

So...heed the weeble.

For God's sake.

Could someone explain to me why one simple question provokes some of the most foul and unpleasant responses I have read on this site.

Porto and Ghana, this is not rocket science. If you don't like the site, go somewhere else. If you want people to take you seriously, you might want to invest in some maturity lessons. BTW not everyone is interested in being your personal punching bag so if you can't be nice, maybe it would be better to ... not be (here).

Wasp I thought your kind didn't make fun of people with disabilities. Hardly politically correct. I thought that was the job of those, hateful, unkind, hypocritical conservatives like me. I would no more refer to someone as retarded than I would use a racial slur. Not because it's politically incorrect but because it's hateful, hurtful, unkind and impolite. And yes before someone points it out, I'm aware that I am a dinosaur.

#58 - Posted by: seanmahair on June 24, 2006 01:22 AM

Thanks for the laughs! Esp comical are the off-topic posts.
I don't know what the head move is called, but I've been working on it myself...for several years. (I know what you're thinking, and you're correct.)
You can also do the head move while rotating your "Stop" hand clockwise. (I avoid finger gestures - people get the wrong msg - guess they expect to be flipped off.) Try it, but don't hurt yourself!

#59 - Posted by: Real Mom on June 24, 2006 12:35 PM

I'm not sure what's it's called sisters do that, but when I see white girls do it, I think it's called "looking like a total retard".

This is one of the most amusing threads i have read in a while. It's just what i needed Monday morning.

Anyway, I think the "Oh no, you didn't!" is the most fitting name. Dunno why, just seems like that is what they are trying to convey when they do it.

The blog crashers above... also funny...
