Men's shirts - last button has horizontal buttonhole - why?
Sep 3, 2020 · Something I’ve noticed on a number of my button-down shirts - the bottom button has a buttonhole that is horizontal, not vertical like the rest. What’s the reason? I’m guessing it has to do with that part of the shirt usually being tucked in. Does that somehow make that button less likely to come unbuttoned? I usually don’t bother buttoning it anyway, so not sure what difference it makes.
The way new shoes come laced in the box - Straight Dope
Aug 2, 2015 · I don’t like shoes in general and I particularly don’t like shoes with laces. I’m not sure if congratulations are in order, or even if they’re sincere, but thank you. I hope some day you’ll join me and be lace free. It really is quite wonderful. Yep, I rarely tie and never purposefully untie my shoes (with the exception of athletic ...
Casual Naked People - Straight Dope
Mar 24, 2000 · Let me first start by saying any of you who know me, know I am not a prude. But in going to my sports club there are FAR too many casual naked people. In the men’s locker room, there are some chairs and tv’s (presumably to wait for your friend to finish prepping so you can go work out). Some guys have to stand next to the tv, watching it, stark naked… and let’s just say, these men have ...
How common is chest hair in men? - Straight Dope
Jun 14, 2013 · I just got back from vacation on the beach where I estimate that the majority of men (maybe three quarters, both young and old) had no chest hair whatsoever on their bodies, i.e. smooth frontal bodies. This got me thinking whether chest hair growth is actually quite rare (for the purposes of this discussion let’s consider White or Caucasian men only). Now I know that shaving/waxing is a ...
Irene Forsyte: Beautiful victim, or ugly bitch? - Straight Dope
Feb 10, 2004 · Neither, but she’s certainly not an entirely sympathetic character in my eyes. Admittedly, I never did see the very beginning of Forsyte Saga, so I missed most of Soames’ courtship. I did start watching right before she accepted his proposal rather than have to work for a living. So… She agreed to a marriage to someone she knew she didn’t like. At all. Now, I’m sympathetic to ...
When did Beaver become a word for a woman's parts?
Sep 18, 2015 · A quick etymology check shows split beaver pelts == men’s split beard style (ca. 1910) == female genitalia (ca. 1927)… in England. Just as “gay” had its secondary meaning way back but was not commonly used until the 1930s or so, I’d bet that this obscure origin doesn’t really indicate when the word became common American vernacular.
Could I legally walk around in my underwear in public?
Nov 5, 2003 · This is true. But most policemen (including your’s truely) won’t make a pinch unless they know the d.a. will prosecute it, and a judge won’t kick it (believe it or not, this is the reason you get a few miles over the speed limit. In Milwaukee County it’s 12, but you didn’t hear that from me;) ). My point is: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
Early nude pics of Demi Moore? From when, and what magazine?
Oct 18, 2003 · No, it isn’t a Photoshop exercise. It’s Demi Moore’s actual unshaven bush. I can recall seeing the very magazine that the photos appeared in and marveling that “Hey!! You can actually see her naughty bits even through her bush.” Back when those photos were taken OUI was a notch below Playboy, in that they would show a woman with her legs sporead wide, as in the Moore photo, but ...
So what did Edward G. Robinson whisper to Lauren Bacall?
Oct 30, 2011 · Probably the same thing Maureen O’Hara whispered into John Wayne’s ear at the end of “The Quiet Man”. But Lauren Bacall doesn’t go that
