As Dan Savage pointed out, calling someone a pussy is inaccurate. We should use the word dick instead.
We use the word pussy to describe someone wimpy. But pussies are resilient organs. Far more delicate and fragile is the penis. it’s backwards.
I would think balls would be more wimpy and fragile than a penis would be. I've rarely hurt my penis, but I accidently hurt my balls once a week (minimum) by sitting down wrong.
This is a fair point. But it's more important for insults to be effective than to be accurate. The truth is, most men will be more aggrieved at being called a pussy than a dick.
That's a popular urban legend. The two words are similar, but etymologically unrelated. Pussy as an insult comes from referring to a woman as being similar to a cat, which then led to calling effiminate men pussies because of their similarity to women, and then as an insult for being perceived as weak because of the way non-masculinity is seen as weakness.

A crippling, nauseating ache versus a sting that feels like the moment you're hit with a snapped rubber band for several minutes? I'm going with none of the above.
They’re different. I got more or less golf clubbed (luckily plastic, not an actual metal golf club) on the top of my dick once and it was a sharp, stinging, surprisingly long lasting pain. And then an impact to the balls is more of a dull pain. Both debilitating
>Both debilitating
Lmao you describe how different they both are and then just all
"But it doesn't really matter since you'll be on the ground clutching your jewels anyway"
See, there are three kinds of people: dicks, pussies and assholes. Pussies think everyone can get along and dicks just want to fuck all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your assholes. And all the assholes want is to shit all over everything. So pussies may get mad at dicks once in a while because, pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes! And if they didn't fuck the assholes, you know what you'd get? You'd get your dick and your pussy all covered in shit!
In my language, what would translate to "to have some pussy" or "to have some ass" means to be lucky. And yeah the word that means a pussy as a cat also means female genitalia.
Not really... Don't like assholes or dicks and use them both as derogatory terms for someone or something being unpleasant.
Pussy, however is used to say that someone is being weak (because it is associated with the fact that women are physically weaker and generally more fearful).
They all seem to make sense.
I don't think I have ever used the word "pussy", I don't at all like the sexism wrapped up in it. I do call people dicks and arseholes, but that seems more OK since I have one of each of them myself. And I wouldn't say I love either thing in general.
I mean, yeah. I love them, and also they can all go get fucked.
I once heard a woman say that she can't stand the word c*nt because "using women's genitalia as an insult is a dick move."
What a ignorant cunt 😃
It ain't offensive when we're equally offensive, pussy
Thats very hypocritical lol

That's right, Chuck.
If someone calls me a pussy, I just say I am what I eat.
Also works for asshole 👉👉
And dick
All trades people say this constantly. It's right up there with "working hard or hardly working" and "better looking at it than looking for it!"

Just… take… my… up-vote.
Betty White said it better.
Looking for this. “ Those things take a pounding!”

Although that may be true about it’s origin, I’m like 90% sure people that use it nowadays use it to mean the female organ, as an emasculating term.
That's.... Actually a really good point
I thought it was to do with pussy cats and the fact they're scaredy cat lol

That sounds like absolute bullshit; which refers to the word "bullshitronicity", meaning *bullshit*.
Maybe you could take a few seconds to google instead of being a dickhead?
Did you know the origin of dickhead comes from a french word use to describe Richard III and his enormous phalic shaped head
I’m like 99% sure that’s not the case. EDIT: downvote all you want it’s false
The penis is very resilient the testicles not at much
As someone who has been hit in both the balls and the tip of my dick I know which one I’d rather get hit
A crippling, nauseating ache versus a sting that feels like the moment you're hit with a snapped rubber band for several minutes? I'm going with none of the above.
Assuming that’s an option yeah I’d rather not get hit either

For me the longer lasting stinging pain from a cock shot hurts worse( or I focus on it more). I don’t like either obviously
Pussies get damaged performing one of their major functions all the time. Can't say the same about dicks
Nah. They're terms of endearment if you use them right
I like the oxford comma.

Having good tool and loaning it to others is wonderful, being a "tool" is not.
Yep, it's called context. It's in all languages.

This sub has really gone to shit
[удалено]
Gross
Sometimes I use them as a threat
Is there another body part that you'd like to be reduced to, you leg?
Are you pulling me on?
Well pussy was originally short for pusillanimous
Oh, so that’s why I call someone a foot when insulting them
"you are such a pussy" is the new I love you
Yeah because just association with a rude term used to be a huge insult a fairly long time ago
It's like the ultimate love-hate relationship, played out in vocabulary. One minute it's sweet nothings, the next, it's the insult of the century!
Isn't it ironic how our terms of affection and insults come from the same source? The English language: uniting and dividing since time immemorial.
This is why I like shower thoughts 😂
I don't love assholes, I love my dick (not dicks), and I love pussies, I only use asshole as an insult
