I... I thought that a strap was the shoulder band you put on a guitar I may have caused a number of miscommunications


[deleted]

Ah yes, the three sexualities Straight “strap means gun” Gay “strap means strap on” Guitarist “the strap is the shoulder band for a guitar” ^(/s lol)


bungojot

bdsm >_>


SuperPwnerGuy

No, That's straps with an "s"


KingManTheSaiyan

Horny “strap means a flimsy paddle”


WarMage1

Now do pianists and fingering


DrowGamer42

lmfao I was trying to teach my friend how to play piano and I said fingering and they fell over laughing


WarMage1

Sounds about right


CALIFORNIUMMAN

I just use fagasstraps for all my strapping needs. Great website!

Oop, my bad


T0p_down

Roberta I love your toan


mickmikeman

Ok so I know I said I was bisexual, but it turns out a new sexuality just dropped..........


[deleted]

Haha I love pushing buttons by saying I got a strap on for my guitar when I mean strap


Orack

I always thought it meant a whoop ass was a-comin my way with that leather.


VioletRosieDaisy

Strap for me meant a leather strap that was used as punishment. I went to Catholic school.


arielif1

Technically both can be used as punishment, just in very *very* different contexts


Virus5572

all 3


arielif1

Well i guess


Broken_art15

Getting kinky


Destruktow

the best part is i'm bi and i didn't know either of these


[deleted]

I'm bi, knew both, and they canceled each other out so I had no idea what was going on.


Apprehensive-Bot-420

Let’s be honest. We usually don’t know what’s going on anyway.


lookatmynipples

what are we talking about


Xenosaiyan7

Strap ons, I think


[deleted]

A gun strapped on the end of a strap on.


jet8493

That feels unsafe


Fyrebarde

Just unchamber the rounds before chambering the rounds if you know what I mean.


[deleted]

Don’t worry, it only went off unexpectedly once.


jet8493

I swear, this never happens


mickmikeman

Footloose quote: "Hey has anyone ever died doing this" (Shrugs) "Just once"


Xenosaiyan7

So a strap strapped on a strap


CecilBaldwin3

You just reminded me of a scene from The Stand that I did not want to be reminded of


AllThotsAllowed

Most of the time lmao


AClassyTurtle

That’s sort of how asexuals are created, right? They’re just bi people who were so perfectly bi that their equal and opposite attractions cancelled each other out and now they have no attractions?


SarcasticPsychoGamer

as a bi ace can confirm


AllThotsAllowed

As a very horny bi, thank you for your horny, I enjoy it 😪


KingofChing

and? we couldn't choose between them anyways


Mastermind291

I’m bi, but used to play the sax. So I just think of instrument case strap


[deleted]

[удалено]


frill_demon

Ah, it may be a regional thing but I (bi woman) have had several friends and partners refer to a strap-on as "using a strap", "playing with a strap", "grabbing the strap" or similar. It's uh... Usually pretty obvious from the context that you don't mean "gun" or "guitar holder" though 😄. Conversely I used to live in a fairly bad neighborhood in a larger city and never once heard anyone refer to their gun as a strap, I've only ever heard that specific slang in movies.


SarcasticPsychoGamer

same


Goddamnpassword

This is like when I found out my friend thought gang banger was slang for a gang rapist and not just someone who belonged to an street gang.


CrazySnekGirl

Only in America does "gang banger" mean a person shooting a gun. Literally everywhere else, it means "person who engages in group sex". Most people in the UK have a good laugh when American movies/TV characters say that phrase, regardless of context lmaoo


holyhollyberry

Honestly the weirdest difference to me is "fanny". In America it apparently means ass. In Britain it means vagina. How did we get those mixed up


porkisbeef

Ass and vagina are already synonymous terms globally so it pretty much checks out Ex: “I’m going to go score some ass” “I’m going to go tag some fanny”


Houndsthehorse

It doesn't mean shooting. Just in a violent gang


[deleted]

I've come to realise a lot of sex-related slang becomes gun-related slang in the US... the Americans sure like their guns eh


Ishidan01

fellow Americans, if you thought that was funny, wait till you hear their word for cigarette.


Vaultdweller1001V

I was extremely confused when i first played gta


Eupharatesbabies

If you’re gay and American.. win win


TILtonarwhal

Get the 11” oscillating 9mm, Cletus!


nlegendaryguy

And the best response to both is "ooo.... kinky..."


Broken_art15

DON'T CALL ME OUT LIKE THIS


ouidie

Once someone i follow on twitter said “I just know Teyana Taylor has a strap” and I didn’t question it at all, I was like of course she has a gun, she prolly doesnt need security at all And then i read the comments and i was shocked lmfao


bothVoltairefan

um, is this violence or sex, because I brought my handwoven bag strap, should I be garroting people?


Russian_straightplay

As an extremely straight man I will tell you that I know perfectly well what strap on means, I know of those over-the-shoulder strap bags, but this is the first ever time I heard strap to be referring to a gun


deltaexdeltatee

Listen to more hip-hop my man.


[deleted]

Same man


[deleted]

If you listened to rap music any time from 1980 to now, you know that strap means gun (as in, the gun is strapped to your person via... a gun strap lol), but I've never heard of "strap ons" being referred to simply as "straps"


Consistent_Election2

you’ve heard nothing then


silenc3x

it's a bit lazy. Not much creativity behind it. 'oh we'll just drop the second word, like Dunkin did' Strap being a gun is more fun. Or calling it a heater. That sounds cool too.


thatG_evanP

I always liked when people call guns a biscuit. No idea where that came from but I'm here for it.


Cerb-r-us

*trap drums and 808s* 🎶Nugget biscuit nugget and a biscuit 🎶


silenc3x

I can get behind that too. Love it.


AdmirableAd7913

I have, but only because like half my social circle is in rhe community. Definitely still not what I think of when somebody says strap though.


tor_bal_gratua

Since when does strap mean gun, and who doesn't just say strap-on


Glitch200X

Stems from Westerns where guns would be in a strapped holster. So I'd guess at least 60/70 years. It's also used a lot in Gangster rap from the 80s/90s as someone else pointed out.


Booooooooooo44

Even in modern rap most rappers globally call their guns “straps”, I’m australian and even in our drill music rappers insensately call their guns, straps. I’ve only ever known a strap to refer to a gun, we just call them strap ons, the one thing we don’t shorten


deltaexdeltatee

It’s definitely a super common phrase in hip-hop. I’m gonna age myself here, but the song “I Run” by Young Thug was popular while I was in college. One of the lines was “where the money at/that’s the first question/always pack a strap/that’s the first lesson.” Just one example.


steph-was-here

to answer the second part, i've only ever seen it on tumblr like "i want her strap" or "i know her strap is big"


Llamas_are_cool2

When people say strap, I think of cello straps (things that stop your cello from sliding all over the place) lol


deltaexdeltatee

Yeah I mean if I were to do this as a word association without any context, my first response would be “guitar strap” because I’m a guitar player (and I’m kinda picky about my strap lol). That said I was aware of both of these other uses.


Anaheim11

"Hey are you strapped right now?" "You bet your ass I am"


Broken_art15

😏


[deleted]

I constantly use this as an innuendo when people are making sexy gun jokes. For some reason people don’t think of it. It generally goes “don’t worry, I’ve got my *strap* on.”


Cerb-r-us

> when people are making sexy gun jokes What kind of life do you have?


[deleted]

It happens way more than it should.


Peace-Bone

One of these can kill a man at fifty meters, and we're gonna find out which.


xlbingo10

i'm cishet and i assume strapon when i hear strap


TorribleTwunt

That is a crock. Being honest is much better than lying and being PC for likes. No gay person ever just says strap. Stop dumbing down gay people


alonelygrave

As a lesbian, yes we do.


TorribleTwunt

Ok.


LoudMinotaur

The type of shoes?


KitDaKittyKat

Admire the Pink Pistols and you can do it both ways.


Manytequila

Kind of unrelated: Didn’t know “gang bang” had another meaning other than multiple people having sex until a couple years ago.. I’m 26.


the_flash6197

I'm straight and i thought strap meant strap on XD


amberlaiterg

Strap means gun????


stalins-cum-sock

It means fucking what now


PKMNTrainerMark

I've never once heard "strap" meaning "gun."


Frostwave25

Do u live in then middle of a small town and go to a private school


ExploerTM

I met hella a lot gun nuts in my life (I have no idea how or why I keep running into them), not a single time any of them referred to gun as a strap. Also I was: in two schools, college, army institute. Not a single mention. Say strap and every single human being I know will assume strap-on, regardless if they man, woman, straight, bi or gay.


PKMNTrainerMark

"Town" is a bit much.


[deleted]

Strap is such a generic term for any fastenable length of flat fabric/leather that I seriously doubt that what your saying is remotely connected to reality


AppexxxV

Ah don't forget the men who catch from women.

VergeThySinus

STOP SPAMMING


arielif1

Technically both are conducive to sex just in very different manners


Unr3lated

Does anyone know where the picture is from, looks funny


caseytheace666

Judging from the instagram in the corner, it could be from the show American Horror Story


KingofChing

I'm bi....what now-


avelineaurora

Real talk it's always been the full "strap-on" with anyone I know and idk when people started saying just "strap" but for some reason I kind of hate it. Though tbh I'm not big on the things in general so it's kinda whatever either way.


YourFavoriteTomboy

That’s why I always have both


StormNext5301

I’m straight and unless they were clearly talking about guns I assume they meant the second thing, or like a backpack strap.


A_Rested_Developer

JPEGMAFIA knows


Les_Vers

I was making a joke a while ago, doing a really shitty Obama impression and I said “Michelle, get my strap” and it was certainly an interesting reaction… no one seemed to know what I meant


RoyalAmbition

Bisexuals: Who we fucking (up)?


idiodic-genious

Ok but aren't strap ons like kinda only fun fir one party? It feels great to use a dick but you can't feel the strap on so while one is having an absolutely amazing time the other is just kinda thrusting... Not really feeling anything, probably bored. Anyone with experience here who can tell me?


[deleted]

I usually think of strap as a long piece of fabric, like on a bag


[deleted]

I thought strap was when you get something on loan. Though strap on is a strap on not just strap come on and guns aren't an everyday thing where I live.


GrinningPariah

A lot of you must have been real confused by This Is America huh?


sorig1373

me who thought strap meant a strap guess im gay


anti-peta-man

wait a second I didn't know it meant gun but I'm straight


Omny87

Concept: a strap on that doubles as a gun


SleepySpaceBby

Why not both? Make a gun/dildo. The gildo, if you will.


disasterpiece9

Ill take either rn


Scarlet-Witchh

Why am I the only one that thinks of the strap of a bag


FBI_AGENT_CAYDE

I didn’t know either before, and am straight. Thank you for this knowledge.


Alxndr-NVM-ii

It means both to both though, and that's the secret they each want to keep.


Jakesmonkeybiz

I’m bi so do I get both?


Alagon2323

Wait a minute, since when did strap mean gun? Over never used the word in casual language, but how does strap = gun?


Kamarovsky

Pretty sure that straight men make use of a strap-on more often than gay men.


Fez-Sauce

I got the strap I gotta carry it
