Well, anyway.
When, I ask - just when - did it become acceptable to refer to ones sexual urges and desire to satisfy them as a party in ones trousers? I'm blaming this guy.
First of all...when the hell did that become a line that anyone, anywhere, at any time, would take seriously? I mean, okay, in this film ^^^ it works because the guy is obviously a tool. But it leapt off the screen and became a thing people actually say in the hopes of getting some. And for the life of me - I cannot imagine why they think that would work. If it IS working, then we have a bigger problem to worry about, ie: society globally operating (and in some tragic cases, reproducing) on a grievously sub-par set of standards.
How did we get to That Guy up there from these cinematic examples?
Good grief. I don't even think Clark Gable was attractive and that makes me weak in the knees.
Ditto Bogie:
Cary Grant, however. Yikes.
And Matthew. Er. I mean, Darcy.
Or any of these from the Mac Daddy of all the love and romance films:
Even this.
There's loads of cinematic material out there!
I could literally do this all day, find cinematic examples of more romantic or seductive things to say apart from anything referencing a Goddamn party in ones pants.
And honestly, a pants party is not much of a visual. What are those invitations like? Is there confetti? What the hell kind of music could there be? I don't particularly want to know about the goody bags, or what's on the menu. And for me, personally, a party implies a social gathering of several people out for a good time. Where I'm from, we call that an 'orgy'. And I am not that kind of girl, I don't care what you've heard.
It just seems a very odd thing to say. I've never been issued an invitation to a party in anyone's pants, at least not using that manner of language - possibly because I'm just not a pants-party-kind-of-girl. Or, more optimistically, maybe people just know how I'd RSVP to that kind of invitation:

Love it! Will of course be blogging about non-invites to the pants party in the future (it's on my list of topics). And now I'm going back to swoon all over those quotes/gifs -- minus the Steve Carell one, because, nope.

ReplyDeleteHate the font of the comments. :-)
I KNOW! I don't know how to change it! Help!
DeleteUm. Well I seem to have done this. Is this ok, do you think?
