My father has a hard on and it won't go away.

I used to have this cassette, I don't remember it being very good:

A stauner or gtf.

I was fortunate enough to see the Hard-Ons open for the Red Hot Chili Peppers when I was about 13, it was amazing xps

A kid I grew up with was fond of "stiffy" and that's still the absolute worst.

xp the were a pretty laddish Oz band, in the Cosmic Psychos/Chats tradition

it's the pleat...in the pants

Mostly this term makes me think of Pynchon

"inflating the tubeman"

I still say this but only metaphorically, as in "Person X has a hard-on for Thing Y"

relatedly (?) I found the recent-ish renaissance of "horny"—a very popular word when I was in junior high, but then I didn't hear it for decades—surprisingly unremarked upon

Bone-on is just more entertaining

woody is a perennial fave

"Morning Wood" sounds like some lost Beatles tune

imagine my confusion when I first heard "Surfer Girl"

ZVex Super Hard On guitar pedal...

...although this video is from 14 years ago and now it's apparently called the SHO.

Sure they do

The new term is "erectoral vote."

As in, "this photo won 15 votes in the Erectoral College."

in other news, i recently saw the word "cooze" for the first time in decades

the were a pretty laddish Oz band

they're still going, though tbf not as laddish as when they started (forty-one years ago) (as schoolboys)

A while ago I tried to popularise the term "pant-angle" for when you've got a hard-on for a great folk record. Sadly, it did not catch on.

lol

lol

On the same theme, could one say "I've got a 'Reason to Believe'" when you've got a (Tim) Hard-in for a great folk record?

On second thought, no, never mind, I'll see myself out

don't be so hard-on yourself

xp to rob, "horny" is a revived term that i really like, everyone can relate to it and it kinda democratizes the experience imo.

Did the Austin Powers movies revive "horny?" Seems like it became common after the first one.

I will not stand for the diss of the HardOns upthread!

The diss was cassette-specific, and does not apply to subsequent releases

i think 'horny' as rob is referring to it is a twitterism that happened in the last 5-10 years among zoomers maybe. it kind of means flirty in a social media context, being horny or enacting horniness through flirty posts and dms and the like. idrk if it's related at all to austin powers.

yeah during pandemic when I was joining Twitch channels filled with younger folk nightly the word "horny" got bandied about with abandon.

i thought austin powers said 'randy' not 'horny'

I like the UK use of the noun "horn", as "when I'm hungover, I've got the horn"

xpost he said both

what the christ with that noodle ad

i feel like the Large Hadron Collider's rise to prominence must have contributed somewhat to hardon falling off

Surely there's a porn movie called Large Hardon Collider somewhere.

Omg that commercial hahaha

“Horny on main” vs. horny in your alt account.

IME, hardon & horny have both been in common usage in the NE united states since at least 1993. Before that, I was too young to remember really.
