Embarrassed by a drink

    I have been to some parties in my time, where arguments have broken out because people cant handle their drink. Never been to one where people cant handle the name of an energy drink without getting into a row :rotfl:

    Sounds more like the antics you could expect from teens on their prom night, than adults celebrating the start of a new business.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    Yes it is not new, I loved sex on the beach and my favourite shot was a B. L.O.W job.

    Ahh those were the days.

    My husband still winces now if I see a cocktail and say ohh that is a slippery nipple. He led a sheltered life.

    Classy :cool:.

    Not the most professional way to promote a new business, is it?

    my favourite cocktail is a !!!!!! star. So called because of the addition of a half a passion fruit still in its skin (so you have to do something to it to get the fruit out...with your mouth...are you with me now?)
    That's much more embarrassing (and clever) than calling something pu55y

    So the argument wasn't about the name of the drink but about inappropriate comments from some of the guests.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.

    Well I think the issue definitely is the type of people who were around said drink.. I took this drink into work for a laugh and the only attention I got was people surprised they'd call a drink that, and lots of giggling and blushing from the older ladies, no lewd comments.

    How ridiculous to get into a fight over some ribbing about a suggestively named drink! They can't even blame it on the booze since it's just an energy drink. :p My OH really likes it and bought a load of it when he found it going cheap, was making jokes for days about being 'knee deep in pu55y'! It didn't bother me, was just funny when he said it to my Mum without thinking! :rotfl:

    I think the name is a stroke of genius as it certainly gets people talking (and giggling, blushing, making innuendos etc) so you remember it! :)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

  • the things people get offended by! If i saw this drink in the sm, I'd be bringing into work and telling people to come by my office and have some poosy! I frequently use the phrase, when talking about our Sunday roast, "I do like a good stuffing" and it always makes people snigger!

    My days are full of double entendres but I choose my audience wisely. No grannies or senior managers for instance!
