USC goes commando

I've always thought USC cheerleaders were pretty classy (to the extent that such a classification is possible in the cheerleading world). They wear long-sleeved white turtlenecks, rather than the skimpy tops donned by most cheerleading teams.

But yesterday I discovered that a USC Song Girl named Megan Ramer doesn't wear underwear.

Britney Spears, are you responsible for this?

Beano Cook will have a heart attack if he learns of this information.

It appears that she's wearing a thong. Briefs are typically a required part of the uniform worn by cheerleaders, so she's officially "out of uniform."

Not out of the fantasies of many men last night though, I'm guessing.

I think that she just has a wedgie (or grundy if you are from Wisconsin). I can't imagine she would conciously make the decision to wear a thong seeing as how thongs don't cover a thing (why wear one at all?), and as a cheerleader she would have been doing moves that would have left her at risk of something akin to this picture.

Grundy?

I'm with grand marnier. It's a grundy.

Until now, I never knew grundy was a regional term. And upon a closer inspection of the picture, it looks like the cheerleader indeed had a grundy and wasn't going commando.

Wow, grundy. I'd totally forgotten about that word. I'm a big fan of regionalisms, too -- good call, GM.

All right, then, grundy. Perhaps dl004d, an amateur linguist, can comment on the etymology of the word?

Married, schmarried.

Thongs are the playthings of the devil. There was no reason for them to be invented, other than praying on women's fear of VPL.

I have hated them even before dl004d and I dated (or were married for that matter).

Ham and GM are missing an important question that arises with the "why wear one at all" comment — is a thong sexier than wearing no underwear at all?

Either one is sexier than regular underwear, henceforth dubbed "grannys." This allows for the rhetorical question, "What's the matter, got yer grannys in a grundy?"

Having worn a thong before (in the guise of a "dance belt," which is what they call them when they're worn by performing men who wish to avoid VPLs and OMG (Obviously Mobile Genitalia)) I can say: they're deucedly uncomfortable, but it is possible to get used to them.

Sexy on women? Not in and of themselves, though what they reveal can sometimes be sexy... but then I'm an atypical guy, since I tend to like flannel PJs better than most lingerie out there.

As for etymology: I learned the full term as an "undie-grundie," as in: "Hey, watch me give Dave an undie-grundie."

I went with "undy-grundy" in my post, but I suppose you could be right about it being "undie-grundie."

Okay, one of you has to update this entry to include the "grundy."

Why is this viewed as an appeal to "men's fantasies"? The NCAA women's gymnastics tournament is on TV and the girls are wearing even skimpier garments! Of course, the show has a mostly female audience and perhaps that's why nobody objects at the revealing suits they are wearing.

I like variety so while the USC cheer girls look great, the Army girls with their leg warmers on don't take a back seat to them:

Maybe the picture was taken just after she was picked up and hold up in one hand by one of the guys.

To prevent the dreaded cheer wedgie from occurring uniforms should be supplied with thongs instead of briefs...agree?And according to the censorship board the butt cheeks can show.Besides wedgies can be uncomfortable and alot of cheerleaders are too uniform conscious during competition.My point is that they can be distracted during their routine which can lead to injury.GIMME a "T""H""O""N""G"! WHAT'S THAT SPELL!........

Incumbents didn't stand a chance

Kamala Harris had an advantage in fundraising and campaign mobilization. Yet she got trounced. The lesson is that advertising and organizing doesn't matter in politics, right? Wrong. In the battleground states where she leveraged those resource advantages, Harris underperformed Joe Biden's 2020 results by 1.6 points . In the non-battleground states where she did not meaningfully compete, she underperformed 2020 by 3.9 points . This means that i n the places where the Harris campaign spent money and organized and knocked on doors, she did better.* Duh, it wasn't enough. Yet consider the political environment in 2024 for incumbent parties: across the world this year, each governing party facing election has lost vote share. Every single one. (This is the first time that had ever happened.) No one would suggest that Democrats pat themselves on the back when the result of their efforts is a Donald Trump victory. But look at this chart:**  The red dot is the 2024 Democrats, the ...

Paperweights have become paperweights

Image
When something goes unused or becomes obsolete, it's said to become a paperweight. Is your cellphone slow and out of date? It's become a paperweight. Is your laptop too slow to use? It's become a paperweight. Do you never use your Apple Vision Pro? It's become a paperweight. Weirdly, paper itself has become a paperweight. People do their work on laptops, tablets, and phones. Most homes don't have printers. Not only do we not need paperweights, we barely need paper!
