Ignorance....

Did you guys knew what teabag or teabagging meant? (urban dictionary)
Or you taught like me that was a kite boarding name for beginner?

I chose that name because friends use to call me teabag while I was trying to kite board (having not much control, I was up in the air, down in the water, up in the air, down in the water etc..., like a teabag in a coffee cup -kind of-)
They never told me the other meaning tho.

I didn't know the other definition until today. While logging on a mountaineering website as teabag, an acquaintance laugh and ask me, "do you know what that mean"? I explain him the kite surfing thing, and he start laughing harder. Telling me to google it.

English not being my first language, it sometimes happen while talking to a stranger or an acquaintance that they have that weird expression on their face, after a sentence or a word I just said. I usually have a flashback a couple of days later when I understand the real meaning of what I said to them. (it rarely happen now)

All that to say, there is sooooo many flashback, memories of "unexplained faces and reactions" from the last 4 years that I now understand.
From co-workers, random people, the guy (from the mounteneering website) on the phone asking me while registration process: "Did you said teabag? Are you sure you want this as a login?". But the funniest reactions, by far, are from some womans, when telling them my name on forums, my other e-mail adress, etc...
WhAt An IdIoT :evil:
(I think the laugh I had when "re-playing" their reactions in my head make it all worthed)

Well I'm a native English speaker but have only heard the kiting reference. I thought it was a great name for a kiter. I'm not so good on pop culture though. I guess I'll have to google it myself to find the hidden meaning!

Edit: Ah, Wikipedia, source of all knowledge......

Hmm. I also googled "take it on the chin" and you get:

"If you take something on the chin, something bad happens to you and you take it directly without fuss."

Therefore, teabaggers take it on the chin.

I have not learned this technique in kiting and would prefer to avoid it. Poleskipping sounds little better however. :oops:

Ah, the double entendre. This post may require a PG-13 rating by now.
Hey, where's my donkey dink?

'Tea bagging' is flying a 'C' kite in full depower mode in winds strong enough to lift the kiter up out of the water & drop him/her back in just like someone dipping a tea bag in a cup/mug from the attached string.

THE LESSON

Hey Kus, I think you should show by example what 'teabagging' really means.......you could use 'Jimmy Lewis', as he clearly does not know what it means.......only us perverts!

Not to mention I have precious few close friends that I trust that much, none of them with Y chromosomes :roll:

Tea bagging is when you send Kus out on a 16 meter kite in 30 knots of wind.
Ha :lol:
