    I hate how the US has sexualized every random word or sentence. I’m here telling my American friend how funny it is that German’s call smart phones a “handy”, like “haha silly random word that makes sense tho haha :)”, but no, ma American bud breaks down laughing imagining German’s giving each other hand jobs.

    Also the constant stopping during any sentence to go “oh, I know what YOU’RE thinking, get your mind out of the gutter!”. No, I don’t, and now I have the privilege of trying to remember every single word that wa just said and trying to see what inside there could possibly be a penis. This from of “joke” never fails to annoy the shit out of me. Like please can we just continue, or do you really have to recite this copy pasta while I stare like an absolute dunce at you?

      I’m american and this is a perfect description of americans. I’ve literally never heard this phrase once, but I don’t hang out with morons.

      I just had a light bulb moment as to what it is that annoys me about a large portion of US-american men: all the “dudes” temper & behaviour is adolescent - as if they never made it past puberty. Which perfectly fits the sexualized language being funny to those guys.
