21st Century Expression of Approval

[MeGustaXL]

OK, I'll prob'ly get red flagged, but my mates and I have just got to know...

In the 50's and 60's, Leslie Phillips would twirl his tash and purr "Hell-air" or "Ding-Dong" whenever an attractive woman (eg Barbara Windsor, Una Stubbs, etc.) entered the room.

More recent variants have been:

Hubba-Hubba!

Woo-Haa!

Shwinnggg!

Anyone know what the 2006 Lounge Lizard's expression of approval is?

"Don't fancy your's much" - When there are 2 and 1 is obviously good looking.

Or "oh yes!" - This is the involuntary reaction when you can't even think of anything clever cause all the blood is rushing elsewhere!

I would

can be abbreviated to:

1. Look at mate, one eyebrow raised in a quizzical expression.

2. He/She either nods or makes an expression like they've sucked a lemon.

or..

1. Nudge mate in ribs, while keeping visual lock on the 'target'.

2. He/She responds 'Mmmmmm..' or 'Not with yours..' as appropriate.

So there is no way for us to hear 'what a pretty woman!'???

Mine is a sound effect, and I can't easily put it into typewritten words.

If I had to spell it, it'd be:

"A

http://WWWKKHHHHHHHH"

But it's from further back in the throat (I resisted saying 'deep') and has sort of a 'clearing the throat sound' (actually more of a clearing of a hair in the throat, tho I may be crossing the decency line there too)--but it's more steady and smooth.

First let me say I'm sorry for this post, but I just can't resist any longer.


IT-related (as "requested"):

said by men: "I'd like to do a port scan on her!" (or him, as the case may be).

said by women: "I wouldn't have my firewall block a port scan from him!" (or her, as the case may be)

You can make up your own...just use any of the following words/phrases:

hard disc
floppy disc
bit
byte
hardware
software
expansion slot
microsoft
input
output

...any others?

From the DBA group (still in IT), but in an opposite vein from this thread, I heard a co-worker explain why she dumped my DBA buddy:

He was two-phased and afraid to COMMIT;

I think I'm blushing!

However, we can't forget the classic lounge lizard -- Unbuttoned shirt, waaayyy too tight pants, gold chains, slicked back hair, and a pinky ring, making some kind of tiger-like growl noise with a wink and a double finger point.

EEEEEE

Did I make it in... Or has the mop already gone through?

"I'd like to combine code with her"
"I'd like to add her to my programming team"
"I'd give her a hard drive"
"I like the user mods to that case"
"I wonder if she can go all night without crashing?"

CC,

Don't cut me off yet, please. I have a story to tell, even if it began in the 20th Century.

I got into church/religion seriously in what we called Junior High (some call it Middle School).

Not one of my friends at school attended my church. I was always a bit jealous of my friends who did attend the same church, since on Monday mornings they could talk about what the preacher said yesterday (or at least how goofy Ms. Bland looked in her new hat!)

Anyhow, in 9th grade I had a lab partner in science class who was going through the same thing I was, church-wise. We each attended Christian concerts where we occasionally ran into each other. We were friends, but not an "item." Did I mention she was prettier than imagination's outer limits?

*******

I have no idea why, but my beautiful former (like 25 years ago) lab partner recently crossed my mind. I really don't know why. And while I could picture her, all I could remember was her last name. I wracked my stupid little brain over it - i.e., "how can you forget the name of the prettiest girl you ever knew!"

Until MiniMufasa's post.

Then I remembered.

Her name was Christie. Wherever she is, someone is happier for it.

Tim, sighing loudly

Aw.. Tim!

That has real pathos for me today.

Tomorrow would have been my 17th anniversary.

It was my choice to end it. And it was the right decision.

We are lucky to still be good friends (in fact, we still share a house), and neither of us want to get back to where we were. But it still makes me think. 17 years is almost a whole lifetime.

*sigh*

[AlexCuse]

I'm too late, but at least in time to share a chuckle with Santa over the 'afraid to COMMIT'. No matter how many times I hear it I makes me smile.

To follow up on jebenson and Lunatic's IT related (sexual harrassment invitations? it's really bad if we were thinking of using these outside of work) how about

'With hardware like that, she can compile my module any day'

Thanks for the laughs!

Tim, re: Christie -

I lost my first love because I stupidly thought she would write to me, so I waited by the letterbox, and waited...

It never occurred to me to write to her, so we lost each other.

We were 10.

[tsdragon]

I don't really have an expression to use when I see an attractive woman, but when I see an attractive man I usually just mutter a soft "wooof!"
