Quote of the Week: Flashback

"Man, I'm sweating like a f@ggot!"

It was about 6 years ago and The Wrong Fiasco took a break from rehearsal. We practiced in my garage and it was always hot and stuffy in there since there were no windows and we kept all the doors shut so the sound wouldn't travel. It was probably around June/July and the temperatures were in the 90's. We went outside for the typical smoke break (me and Fonso didn't smoke but chilled outside) and all of us were pretty sweaty. And then out of the blue, Richard says "Man, I'm sweating like a f@ggot!". Hahahahaha. All of us laughed at how absurd that statement was. The irony in that statement was when we hit puberty, I really thought Richard was batting for the other team. He still woulda been my friend regardless, but it's just funny.

But really, what is the difference between sweating like a regular dude and sweating like a f@ggot? I think it's similar to the saying "Man, I'm sweating like a pig." Are pigs known to sweat? I dunno but I think pigs are just dirty animals (e.g. playing in the mud) and the feeling of sweating makes people feel dirty and then they relate it to the pig. I think the correlation to the f@ggot is that society views them are wrong or bad. So when someone says "Man, I sweating like a f@ggot!" it relates to sweating non-stop and you can't help it. It's just happening, kinda like a f@ggot is a f@ggot regardless of what they try to do. Don't fight it, accept it. And obviously, Richard accepted his fate. Respect.
