Nominations for a new non-offensive PC word to replace the offensive term "Hobbyist"

[hungry101]

Let us come up with a new and non-offensive term for the hobby. I am looking for nominations. It seems that a couple of girls had suggested on Twitter that they do not like this term. It does not seem to be an overwhelming majority but I think anytime anyone is offended by the slightest thing we out to all bend over backwards to accommodate them (rather them tell them to lighten up or put them on notice for having a bad attitude). Is this much ado over nothing? Is this just another case of a minority within a group of people trying to embrace victimhood because it is fashionable? Maybe but I am a weak, apologetic white male and I want to be seen as politically correct and maybe I can brown nose a couple of SPs and get a freebie in the process down the road?
So please help me with the nomination process. Please list your three favorite terms for what we are as a group.
As a head start, I just used a thesaurus to look up synonyms for hobby.

Could we try Libertines?

Could we try Libertines?

Of course we can unless someone is offended by this.

As Hungry just wrote into the other thread that lead to this one, we do this to add diversion to our life. It's exactly that! So we are:

diversioning



Cheers,

I have put a lot of thought into this, and I've got it.

Not hobbyist.

Instead "John"

No, No I think the term John will not do. I think there were some copy-write/trade mark issues with Long John Silvers. The board got a cease and desist order and we had to drop it and go to hobbyist.

LOL. One so tired of the PC world asking for nominations for a PC term. Funny. Okay, let's play.

1. Un artiste d'amour.
2. HOMSHBFC&S - Horny Old Men Seeking Hot Babes For Companionship & Sex. HOM for short.
3. Nookyistas

Have fun

 

[hungry101]

How about these:

1. Rent Paying Sap (RPS)
2. Gringo ATM (GATM)
3. Anthony Weiners (AWs)

Why don't you start a poll instead: Do you find the word Hobby disrespectful for the Ladies in this "Hobby"?

 

[hungry101]

How about Tourist

After all nobody is planning to stay for the long haul including the SP.
Just touring around can now have a special meaning.

Than your a tourist this is all fine and good until some SP - typically a 400$ plus SP that shows up when she wants and says you can't touch there and no touching here - says I'm nobodies tour. In fact why don't you come by. Drop the money on the bed and leave because I deserve it. for all this you get to look at me. I don't want to be here. Then you are screwed and we can't use Tourist anymore....and nobody likes a tourist anyway.

I still think we should call ourselves Anthony Weiners.

Perhaps you are correct Uncle B. First things first. But let's have some fun with this. I for one can't stand when some crybaby, trying to draw attentions to one's self, wakes up one day and decides that there is something wrong with an innocuous word. The point of this exercise is to demonstrate how ridiculous this is. So let us have some fun.

"Missionary" - Makes it sound like we're a benevolent group helping others who need us. Kinda true anyway. Also coincides with a magnificent way of getting deep into it.

Alternatives:

Schtupper Trooper

Bionkologist

JAGG (Just a Generous Guy) :yo:

Have fun.

I do not use a specific name for what I do, hobby sounds discrete, for myself it could be called PWHSWLOOML, short for " Person Who Has Sex With Ladies Out Of My League ".

I think we have a winner. This is exactly what we are and there is no SP out there that will ever say "Nobody is out of my league."

I think it is down to PWHSWLOOMLs or Anthony Weiners.

I think 'hobbyist' is already a euphemism for 'John'. SPs on twitter often use even softer terms like 'gent', 'suitor' or even 'gentleman friend'. I remember in my first experience with an SP 10 years ago, I said 'clients' and she quickly replied 'I don't have clients, I have friends'.

To me hobbyist is someone who books SPs. My current ATF (one of the aforementioned on twitter) says that hobbyists are a subset of that group that are active on boards, binge on several girls in a short period, and classify girls by acronyms and services. I don't really share her view, I think hobbyist is a euphemism that applies to all clients and I for one have had 10 years to be comfortable with it. I just think that like SPs, hobbyists come in all shapes and sizes and everyone is looking for something different, be it something physical or the overall experience.

You know I like this. Do you think that if we can come up with an even more innocuous term than the hobby I can write the expenses off on my taxes? I think I will talk to my accountant. I spend 10,000$ a year doing missionary work helping girls pay the rent and tuition.

I suppose my accountant will reply with the old saying Hungry, just because you spend 1/2 your time in the missionary position it doesn't make you a missionary.

Ok so the term Client is definitely out. One person didn't like it.

Very well said

Ok Doc, I'm a Da Bizer or DB for short? Or maybe we can replace it with that emoticon. We would never have to say another thoughtless and insensitive word. We could just use that emoticon? Doc, you are on to something. Everyone likes emoticons. Maybe I should change the thread title to which emoticon should we use in place of the offensive term hobbyist?

 

[Passionné]

SPs on twitter often use even softer terms like 'gent',

I like "Gent", it's simple and classy.

Do you think...I can write the expenses off on my taxes?

Why not, I put my back into this work every time.

Drop the money on the bed and leave because I deserve it. for all this you get to look at me.

You mean "Marriage"?????

How about MIBs (Men In Babes). Sorry ladies, just joking.
