Apparently I'm a male prostitute

[Rapscallion]

I like to carry a heavy-duty carrier bag in my back pocket in case I need some shopping. No other reason. The one I currently have is a very heavy duty plastic carrier from a fruit-and-veg place that did a refurbish and wanted rid of their old stock. Damned fine freebie, really.

However, it was sticking over the top of my back jeans pocket a week or two back. One of my colleagues asked if I knew about the 'handkerchief code'. I think I somewhat surprised him by saying that I'd heard of it in passing, whereby people interested in specific activities would have a handkerchief of a specific colour/pattern dangling over the top of their pockets. Made it far easier for likeminded people to find each other, especially since which pocket it was hanging out of was an indicator of giving/receiving. Yellow was for 'watersports', for example, and this entire code was mostly arranged and set in the gay scene.

The carrier in question was green. Said colleague said that he and his husband had been trying to work out what it actually meant. I looked it up the other day.

Two shades lighter and I'd be a male prostitute, based on it being in my left jeans pocket. Other pocket and I'd be looking for one.

I'm notorious!

Woot.

So whats your price levels?

[Evil Queen]

And are you available next Wednesday?

Hmm, the code must mean different things in different areas. Far as I know, it's reference to gang affiliation. Brown is Latin Kings, I think...O_o. If not, I know it's the color of some predominantly-Hispanic gang.

[Broomjockey]

That's usually colours in general. This is referring to colours in a specific location on the body.

Ah, yes, the handkerchief code! Apparently it's rather popular in the area I live to use that code, mostly just for fun. It was good for a laugh when a friend of mine, who likes to dress like a tough, car-repairing sort of guy (boybeater tank, scruffy jeans, etc.) was told laughingly that his handkerchief, which was part of his "look" I guess, actually meant that he was a power bottom

Just remember that green is a male prostitute, but green with black stripes means you are a male prostitute that specializes in group functions, where as green with purple polka dots means that you are a male prostitute that gives group discounts and specialize in felching.

If y'all don't know what felching is, I'll let you look it up. There are certain lines even I won't cross.

Sounds like I really need to work out a group discount. Wednesday, minor work on car, plus at work, but Sundays I can do...

I already knew what felching was. Pity I was reading this over my cereal...

Heh, I learned something similar when I had a bandanna in my pocket; apparently it shows you're part of a gang and color id's which one. I kinda laughed, cause I was in rural VT at the time and wondered what gang could they possibly have? Cow Tipping Thugs?

I looked it up.

At least they weren't offering Cleaveland Steamers.

And what is a "power bottom?" (I have gay friends, but they don't generally share THAT sort of thing with me )

Hopefully it wasn't a bowl of Cocoa Puffs!

I got a good idea of what Cleveland Steamers are from Sex Drive...as for felching nd power bottom...let's just say for this ignorance is bliss.

I am keeping my bliss...I am keeping my bliss...I am keeping my bliss...

[Evil Queen]

Yes Aethian, for the love of god keep your bliss!
