Ladies: How would you respond to a drunk calling you "Sugar Tits"?

[Philosoraptor]

That's what the drunk called a female police officer at his arrest, he said, "what are you lookin' at sugar tits"?

Oh yeah, forget the fact that it was the famous and handsome Mel Gibson, just some schmuck at a bar or party.

Is this an insult? Do you fluff it off cause the dude's crocked? Do you insult back?
Would your boyfreind or husband punch the guy? would YOU punch the guy? What would you do?

[sinkingfeeling]

1. Arrest him and cart his ass off to jail.

[matcom]

2. that's my pet name for Mrs Matcom

:hide:

[uppityperson]

3. I keep thinking of that phrase too. wtf is "sugar tits"?

all I can come up with is all women are good for is f*ing, a misogynistic term. Or is there another explanation for this term>

[Deep13]

7. You can use them in coffee.

[ForrestGump]

13. I think it's a

Yiddish word.








Oy vey Maria...

[amitten]

4. I'd lift up my shirt and say, "Wanna try one? They're

DEEEE-licious!"

Just to screw with him.

[ForrestGump]

12. Hi,

baby...

5. Why was this moved to the lounge?

6. He's through having kids, right? nt

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

8. "sugar tits" was the nickname for a drinking buddy of ours.

It was an inside joke the origins of which we've long since forgotten.

I should give her a call, she's probably cracking up.

[caty]

9. I'm sure police officers

here derogatory remarks from drunks all the time. They probably have learned to just let it go in one ear and out the other. A threat would be another story though. I would figure that the person who said it was a "low life" and pity his wife and children.:spank:

[Flaxbee]

10. I think I'd probably just laugh at him.

I really am not that thin-skinned about physical insults or comments. Who the hell cares. It's kinda funny, IMO.

Now, I'm a corporate lawyer, not practicing anymore - my husband and I work together on technology consulting projects. But I often hear men talking to my husband referring to me as my husband's "secretary" and THAT pisses me off.

Unless we've decided that's the approach we're going to take...

[supernova]

11. I'm ambivalent about this...

On the one hand it is sad that Mel seems to have fallen off the wagon. :(

On the other, he was at his most sloshy-abusive worst... and all he could come up with in the derogatory dept was.... wait for it....

















Sugar tits???

To that I have to say... Mel: either clean up your act or spend time in much seedier bars to brush up on your salacious vocabulary.... pink bunnikins...

[mikeytherat]

24. If the rest of the account is to be believed,

Mr. Gibson did drop the "F-bomb" repeatedly, and he hit the anti-Semitic points rather well. That given, I was surprised with "Sugar Tits" as I figured, given the crude cursing and anti-Semitism, that his misogynistic vocabulary would be a bit more developed.

Of course, the scarier question is what freakish bits of his subconscious collided with his shit-facedness and produced "Sugar Tits"?

:scared:

14. if I were a cop?

Ignore it, just as I'd ignore anything else someone said if it weren't relevant to whatever the cause of our conversation was.

We can all call cops anything we want to call cops. I called a pair of 'em fucking morons once. They then followed me and wrote me the ticket they had expressly said they would not write if I did the fucking moronic thing they were directing me to do (a U turn in a hugely busy six-lane intersection, to remedy the fact that I was in a bus lane that I didn't know was a bus lane, even though they were telling me that what I was doing was driving the wrong way on a one-way street, which it wasn't ...).

I ignored the ticket, and I never got anything in the mail. Guess they realized they were fucking morons and tore it up!

Cops really don't get to do anything at all about being insulted, any more than the rest of us do.

Of course, they can always put the details of the conversation into the record of their intervention that they write up ... and it might just get read out in court, and reported in the press ...

15. Happened to my wife

Long before we got married. She broke his nose, cheek, jaw, 2 ribs, 3 fingers and his wrist. And then, when someone went to call 9-1-1, she went out to her ambulance, pulled out her medkit, and said, "Don't worry, I'm 9-1-1." It's not so scary that she can hurt you, the really scary part is that she can fix you afterwards!

[Jackson Roykirk]

16. Score a big one for your wife!!!

Actually, Mel's real problem is he's a coupla cans short of a ...well...

I ain't gonna go there!!:yoiks:

[jpgray]

19. I think resorting to disfiguring physical violence is a little much

[arwalden]

21. Wow...

... that's unbelievable.

[pitohui]

29. i don't believe it either

but it's the lounge, a little yarn-spinning is allowed

[HEyHEY]

22. No offense, but sounds like she needs some anger management counselling

[pitohui]

30. in other news his wife is actually naomi campbell!

:-)

i don't think we're required to believe everything we read altho it's certainly fun to imagine

[Floogeldy]

27. Your wife should have done hard time for that despicable act.

Illegal and disgusting.

[hedgehog]

17. I'd get as far away as I could as fast as I could.

I hate being around people who are drunk.

[Kali]

18. in my Grampa's day it was a pacifier

butter and sugar wrapped in cloth.

[HEyHEY]

20. I'll have to remember that one

[wildhorses]

23. that would probably crack me up...can't help it, the very notion

:spray::rofl:





of course then I might have to smack him....

[Patiod]

25. A friend of our was waitressing at an Phila event & saw Mel

She said at the time that he was sitting at a table with an ashtray piled high with butts, drunk out of his gourd and obnoxiously hitting on all the women on the waitstaff.

We were all SHOCKED to hear this, since we're totally out of the Hollywood loop (with the exception of an occasional Rocky or M. Night Shamalan siting), so we bought the PR and thought he was all Mr. Catholic and Mr. Father-of-Eight.

[eyepaddle]

26. I always thought "Sugar tit" was synonymous with "Candy Ass"

and used to imply a lack of machismo/upper body strength, and not really an assessment of a woman's bosom.

Is it possible Mel misused a vulagarism? ;)

[pitohui]

28. i ignore and avoid drunks

i don't engage or insult back, why give a drunk the reward of my attention? the drunk is beneath my snotty notice, i am deaf to their comments

[Darth_Kitten]

31. I just tell them......

look you f#$@##$# as@#$#$hole, I ain't nothing to YOU. Plus something else about him having an especially small penis.

Nobody calls me a name and doesn't get a few in return. :)

[Darth_Kitten]

32. Oh, oh, oh, and you know what REALLY pisses me off about Mel.....

is that he's just another dumb chip off the block trying to emulate his dumb old doofus of a father.
So bloody unoriginal. My daddy believed this so I will too.....my daddy beat the crap outta me when I was a kid....I'll be the same kind of father and do the same to my kids....etc, etc.

Don't adult children EVER lay into their own parents? (You know, Dad, you are full of crap?)

:evilgrin:

Evil Darth. :D

[grannylib]

33. Depends. If it were the first time the drunk approached me, I'd blow it

off and walk away. If he persisted, followed me, kept hassling me, THEN he'd be in for it.

I try to avoid confrontation; it's usually unnecessary. But push my buttons enough times, and I will fucking explode.
If it happened in a bar, the asshole better hope he's well away from the pool tables 'cos he'd be likely to get a cue busted over his head, then shoved up his ass.
