WE'RE ASSHOLE BUDDIES.

[cimorene]

cim: So. 3.7 and 4.5 were... there was an American phrase he'd heard once, 'asshole buddies.' They hid it well; neither of them seemed at all--well, gay, or effeminate, or whatever.
perhael: OMGGHGGGGGGGDBGFNKGMKNKJFFHSHDF
cim: ASSHOLE BUDDIES?

cim: it's american? i feel so culturally impoverished!
wax: *goes to the urban dictionary*

1.        Asshole buddies
       
During WW2, sex was hard to get, and masturbation and fellatio were totally unacceptable practices. But in a foxhole environment asshole buddies could sodomize each other, in turn, without problem, as long as it was kept on the down low.

I get along pretty good with Pvt X. We're asshole buddies.

I'll bet those guys are asshole buddies.


2.        asshole buddies
       
Pals, accused of being so close they have become fudge packers.

John Kerry and the Breck girl weren't exactly asshole buddies until Kerry bit his tongue and chose him for Veep.

okay, so, several things strike me about this.  like for instance:

1. ASSHOLE BUDDIES?
2. anal sex was more socially acceptable than masturbation?
3. ASSHOLE. BUDDIES.

cim: there should be like an ann taintor icon. a 50s guy making a thumb's-up, going, "WE'RE ASSHOLE BUDDIES!"
perhael: YES.
perhael: now i want icons with like, every otp i've ever had
perhael: with ASSHOLE BUDDIES on it!

John and Rodney = ASSHOLE BUDDIES.

Also, this brings up disturbing thoughts about my grandfathers time in the army during WW2. DO NOT WANT.

It actually makes a lot of sense that anal sex would be more acceptable than fellatio. If you fuck another guy, you can tell yourself you're pretending he's the woman, and he can tell himself he's doing it so that you will reciprocate, and nobody has to touch anybody's penis. Fellatio, on the other hand, means getting pretty intimate and in your face (so to speak) with another guy's incontrovertible masculinity.

I love slang.

Suddenly the subtext of "The Soldiering Life" by The Decemberists has become incontrovertible, uh, supertext?

Hi, don't know you, clicked a sweet-ass orgasm banner, thought this was HILARIOUS.

Classic fan fiction is special, people.

Okay, I was skeptical. My slang dictionary doesn't give it a particularly WWII context, although it does note that from the 1950s on denoted "a normally heterosexual man who, deprived for whatever reason of women, enjoys anal intercourse, both as an active or passive partner." I guess stuck in a foxhole counts as deprived of women.
