Would you say “pop my cherry” at work?

[Anonymous]

What about "come to Jesus meetings"?

Ok, but we need to evolve with the times. Anyone under 50 knows what the "money shot" is. Similarly, the older folks need to cut with the, "open the Kimono!" crap that's all to common.

I'm 35 and had no idea.

Look sometimes you have to bust a nut to get the deal done. Everyone knows the only way to get your rocks off is with money, so go in hard and come out wet, whether you are swimming or doing business. You can jam out with your clam out if you don’t have your ducks in a row, so get to it.

I heard that once too. I assumed the guy didn’t actually know what it meant.

What?! I’m no prude but I’ve always associated this with basketball

I thought it was pool (billiards). Like . . . Paul Newman and Tom Cruise in The Color of Money.

That guy knows that when a young guy says 'pop my cherry" he is talking about a brown cherry - he wants to Gape

What about eye candy? A co-worker used that today about an employee in another division. Co-worker is mid 40s, new employee was early 20s. Co-worker was finding reasons to make multiple trips to walk past new employee and I asked what they were doing and they responded eye candy.

Hell no.

Yikes. This one is actually sexual harassment.

No, and I work in a very casual environment where people say just about anything.

Today a guy said "pop my seal" in a way that made every woman in the room cringe. When everyone (or every woman) cringes, you know you've crossed a line.

Take him aside and explain the reference and why it is inappropriate in a work environment. Gross.

I've heard "blow off" (to ignore or dismiss) in a sermon.

Also, "sucks" is part of our vernacular but has the same derivation relating to oral sex.

Both inappropriate in business settings.

I don't hear blow off as sexual at all. Blow off has a lot of other meanings (blow off steam), and blow off with your definition to me came from wheat harvest, where you blow off (discard or dismiss) the unnecessary chaff to keep the grain (what you need).

This. Now, if the person said "that blows," that's inappropriate and rude. (Like "that sucks" -- which everyone under 40 uses freely at my agency. It's hard to remember not to say it when my boss says it ...)
