Oh come on, dude, we are talking about an addictive drug here, somewhere between caffeine and cocaine. Let's call a spade a spade and all that
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
I'm desperate for my next fix of caffeine. It's killing me.

In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
Oh, and I'll also have you know I was moved when I saw ][ear defending smokers. He said some are, and I quote "very considerate".![]()

Well, some of us are still the same old folks. Take, for example, yourself. You can be relied upon to be chippy and defensive any time somebody criticizes smokers, or threatens the total freedom to spew health-threatening toxins whereever they please.
You, my friend, still have zazz.

Presumably if it wasn't premature he wouldn't actually have his spunk.
Unless he's holding it in his hand or mouth for some odd reason.
I like the word spunk. I think I will attempt to use it today in some situation where either meaning would apply, just to see how the person I am talking to reacts.

But the word "spunk" is frequently used in a non-sexual context. For example, one could consider Lolli to be "spunky."
Up until today I've never connected spunk with ejaculate. Its always meant that extra bit of determination or energy to me. Even had to check urbandictionary to make sure lolli wasn't trying to pull a fast one.

You really thought that sexual slang was original, rather than derivative, as is almost always the case?
Jeez, maybe you need to read something other than porn!![]()

I too am puzzled by how a youngish native English speaker of great sophistication, residing in the US, can really not have known about the different meanings of the word "spunk"smells a little fishy to me.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
I wish I never had said anything about Spunk.
Back on topic:
How about this silly ban on smoking at Parks and Beaches eh? Lets all point and laugh at the loony mayor.

Are you both that obtuse?
No, I am not a fucking idiot, therefore I know what the original meaning is. What I said was that I had never heard the word used with its original meaning. It's like the original meaning of the word gay being happy, see. It has fallen into such disuse that it is no longer used in that context.

Ah, my bad, but my puzzlement remains: how can one not have heard it used in the "original" sense??! Or at least as a double entendre![]()
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Well, Minxiepooh, most of the people I would actually have a conversation with would prefer their double entendres to be a little less blatantly obvious. I still haven't found an opportunity to actually use the word spunk, anyway.
But hey, I regularly use scat with its original meaning. This has to count for something, right?
