For the pronunciation, it's "Scown". Only ponses say "Sconnnnnnnnn".
I used to buy scones a lot when I was on work experience (like, 24 a day), never got any funny looks. Maybe it was what you were wearing? Maybe it's just you in general? Maybe it was who you were with? Ohh the conspiracies :rolleyes:
Hehe... I had the exact same lighter and in that colour too.
I asked for a lighter from the shop assistant and although there were blue, black, yellow, white ones, she gave me a pink/purple one. I didn´t want to cause a scene and act like a child (or a girl ), "oooohh, I don´t like that colour, oooohhh" , so just accepted it. I didn´t get called a gay but a friend did make a little bit fun of me, which I didn´t really mind. Humour is good, even if it´s you that´s the subject.
Maybe the 'sexy' women were wearing skirts like this, and weren't actually 'sexy' and were indeed sluts and would typically come out with things like this because they're so emotionally lacking they try to get attention by looking like hookers!
Scones are considered the food of posh gits and puffters and I suspect the people who called you gay had an IQ in the same price range as your scones £2.
But the way you act when buying scones will make you look gay, for example, was the guy with you sucking you off? Did you have a pony tail coming out of your arse? Were you mincing (the walk gays do because they think it is what women do).
All these things would make someone assume you're gay.
You just need to work on your insult skills, an example of a good come back in that situation (if you want to insult them that is) would be to say "We just wanted to know what it felt like to have breasts like yours". Of course you could have just gone with the funny one and said "We might be gay, but at least we're not homosexual".
P5YcHoM4N, the scone is a Scottish invention, so I doubt it's posh at all, considering their other famous foods are haggis and deep fried Mars bars.
I often find people who shout out insults at people they don't know are quite stupid, so if you have a quick enough wit you can silence them with one sentence, perhaps one or two if they are stupid enough to keep on trying.
Our local chippy has agreed to deep fry some mars bars for us if we supply them. Never actually tried this. I think I'm just about healthy enough to survive the night if I eat one.
I find it alarming that mere food is able to put your sexual orientation in question. I give you one advice: eat as many scones as you like as long as you love doing so. Being gay or not is completely irrelevant. Once you realise this, your life will be much more relaxed.
Nowadays, I have no trouble at all buying or ordering and consuming following things:
an Appletini (easy on the 'tini)
a croissant with a latte macchiato as a breakfast
fruit flavoured tobacco for a hookah
Baileys
And I don't mind watching Grey's Anatomy when my girlfriend is around, plus I know most of the relevant plotlines of it.
So you see I'm about as "gay" as a hetero can be (both my girlfriend and my mom compared me to JD from scrubs independently from each other). I don't really care though.
Holyhell, I am not the only one to be compared to JD then.
A lot of my female friends consider me to be a gay straight man. I like woman, but am not afraid to do things consider girly or gay if required. I find it make life more fun as you miss out on so much if you avoid things that are considered girly/gay.
Hell, I am looking to buy an MX-5, you can't get much gayer than that.
