Shopping in lycra?

[Arch]

do we all count as complete strangers? just so i'm sure…

Ah well, there's a list of who on here I regard as a stranger for those purposes and who I don't (a sort of 'not with a 10 foot bargepole' list)...

I wouldn't dream of touching up a complete stranger...

No, neither would I. But I'll bet the woman who did this would be up in arms if someone did it to her?

Yes, maybe she would. But that doesn't make all women hypocrites as your post implied, that's all I'm saying.

Well, no more than all men are...

I used to be a 'shopper in lycra'.

Until one day, while queuing in Tesco's a woman touched me bum
She was embarrassed and apologised, saying it was an accident. But when I turned around she did it again, and again! Bloomin' Perv

Now when going shopping, I wear a pair of Ronhill bikesters (cut to above the knee) over the shorts. They are just a little baggy, comfortable and not too hot. Though most of all, preserve my dignity!

Some guys get all the fun !

I honestly don't see what the big deal is. As long as you're not actually indecent, go shopping in whatever you want to wear. Who cares what a load of strangers think?

Hear hear! (or is it here, here, I never know...)

You were right first time. Apparently, it's short for "Hear him! Hear him!".

 

[Landslide]

Or indeed "Hear her! Hear her!"

Which if one needed a specific location might evolve to "Hear her here! Hear her here!"

Which wouldn't be at all confusing, oh no.

Well, I never knew that! This forum is very educational!

I did think I ought to put the female pronoun somewhere in that post, but I don't think there were any women in Parliament when the phrase was invented, so it would have very definitely been "hear him."
