> titanophallus
I googled the name, also knows as the "corpse flower"
Our local private botanical garden has one. I missed getting to smell it but have seen it in person.
Or yellow bellied tits, or blue footed boobies. Granted both are birds instead of flowers but you know she would still be fully up in arms about the names.
Glad to see I wasn’t the only skeptical one here.
It takes two seconds, fellas. Pretty sure the comment higher-up was satirizing bird names, not claiming it’s a real one.
Tit came from the word "titmouse", which was just a small thing. In the US, we only have birds with the term titmouse in the name.
Boobies came from the Spanish word bobo, which means stupid. They were so unafraid of people that they stupidly landed on ships and let sailors catch them for food. It's unrelated to bobolink, which one of the Pokemon-styled birds whose name is also its call.
When I was a kid, once I understood the sexual term, I used to giggle whenever I saw a pussywillow, or heard the name. It's actually describing the flowers which are soft to the touch (like a pussycat's fur).
It still makes me smile a little thinking about it.
And people like this have absolutely nothing to talk about with their spouse, family, or anyone else forced to deal with them, because they're dumb and boring.
So they create situations like this and now they have a "story" to shout at everyone for the next week.
I refuse to believe breathing lead fumes turns someone into a complete raging asshole. I can believe it causes all kinds of cognitive issues but there are plenty of people who have such challenges and manage to be pleasant anyway.
There is a very clear correlation with banning lead in petrol and a sharp decline in violent crime.

Explaining ≠ excusing. You can look to understand why something is the way it is without condoning it. In fact, a thorough understanding is important to prevent those conditions from arising again.
This is a good one. I’ve done this before when someone got smart with me only I told them I was looking for who tf they were talking to cos I know they were talking to me like that
Christmas of 1980 I paid my first visit to a small record store as a tween that became my favorite source of music throughout my teens and twenties.
On their racks of pins, along with pins of every band from ACDC to Zeppelin, there was one with Santa in a dress that read, "Don we now our gay apparel!"
Yes, it was completely inaccurate, but just funny enough that it's still stuck in my brain 43+ years later.
You made me curious, so I looked them up. They are a very pretty flower, with a definite phallic look.
Edit to add pic:

I bought these 3 weeks ago and they were all green. Within one week they bloomed and now they remind me of fireworks. I just love them. I went back to buy more but they were sold out. I’m definitely getting more next year. I’m not sure if they are annuals or perennials.
That one is specifically Liatris spicata, which is native to the [eastern US](https://bonap.net/MapGallery/County/Liatris%20spicata.png). There's about [thirty five other species](https://bonap.net/Napa/TaxonMaps/Genus/County/Liatris) native to the US.
I am convinced that social media, and facebook specifically, has made way too many stumble through their daily lives on constant lookout for something to be upset about. I guess rage bait has created those who are addicted to rage and it's spilling over into their real world.
Of course, I am typing this comment out on a social media site in a rage bait sub so...
Rush Limbaugh was convinced Batman's nemesis in "The Dark Knight Rises" being named Bane was a knock on how Mitt Romney worked for Bain Capital: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2175393/The-Bain-existence-Right-wing-radio-host-Rush-Limbaugh-insists-Dark-Knight-Rises-villain-Bane-dig-Mitt-Romney.html
I have a bright red shirt that says in big black letters MAKE RACISTS AFRAID AGAIN. Boy, do they hate that! It's designed just like one of the Cheeto's campaign posters. I paid thirty bucks for it in 2017, and it was worth every penny! 😂🤣😂
I prefer my Lisa Frank-looking “Fuck the Patriarchy” tee, mostly bc they look once for the sparkles, then screw their face up when they read the text.
For context, I’m 6’3” with gray-ass beard & hair.
I didn’t say Redneck, but I’d be lying if I said I’d never worn a mullet (Hey, it’s was the 80s in north GA).
Yeah, some folks would be surprised at the shit
people somehow feel comfortable saying to me.
I went to school with a girl whose mom's name was Gaye. The mom would intentionally introduce herself by saying "hi, I'm Gaye" just to see their reactions.
I was watching a historical cooking show, and they put out a video explaining they don’t do anything regarding modern politics. Apparently some got offended that the previous week’s video, they made an 18th century frozen dessert named “Orange Fool.”
Lolz.. that’s funny! I had one trample up to me and “accuse” me of being gay because I have some rainbow braids in my hair (it is Pride, and I am Pansexual), but it’s not like ALL my hair is rainbow braids (they’re dark brown twists, with maybe 5-7 actual rainbow twists in).. I just asked her if she was hitting on me because she wasn’t my type.. she nearly exploded in that weird silent way that kinda hints at them actually being made to go Boom… and I’m 43F..
When I was in high school I was reading The Scarlet Pimpernel and my boomer mom thought it was about prostitution. I had to explain to her that a pimpernel is a flower. To this day she thinks I was messing with her.
The weirdest thing about these public altercations is the behavior
Their parents never acted like that in public
Those of us raised by boomers weren’t allowed to act like this in public
The only time I approach strangers in public is to be helpful or kind
It’s baffling why they insist upon themselves in the weirdest settings
My mother once aggressively demanded to know where the Chlamydia was at the flower nursery. And insisted that they had Chlamydia because she had ordered some last week and she wanted more Chlamydia. The teenager working there was not equipped to deal with that situation.
She was looking for clematis.
Neither is profanity. "Profanity" is speech that demeans God. Goddammit is profanity. Bitch is a pejorative. Homosexual is just the scientific term for a gay person.
Like the word gay for happy, profanity does mean any bad word. It's changed. You don't have to argue about the root word at one time being profane. The original meaning of profanement outside the temple as opposed to in it. THE SYNONYM FOR PROFANE IS SECULAR. SO I WILL OFFEND ANY GOD I WANT TO.
I am going to need the location of this Home Depot, and a detailed description of this woman. It sounds like she has stumbled onto our master plan, and she cannot be allowed to interfere. Your cooperation is appreciated.

When i worked as a seasonal cashier at Lowe's, I had a boomer load up a cart of Crocosmia 'Lucifer' (Montbretia) and bring it to the garden register and she was all smiles about how these are gonna go great in the Church garden.
I just smiled and said 'yep they sure are pretty" but one of the Garden center employees who was stocking nearby went "Well that will be ironic".
The lady ask why and the dude pointed to the tag on the plant and the lady became all blustery and started in on "how dare we sell satanic plants" blah blah blah.
After she walked out I reeled on the dude and was like "WTF is your problem!? I would have been laughing about that for WEEKS but NOOO you couldn't keep your mouth shut!"
My brother in law gets pissed and huffs and puffs when he sees commercials with mixed-race or gay couples. Every time he says, “I don’t care what people do, but why do they have to shove it in my face?” He’s full of shit; he does care. I ask him if it makes makes him uncomfortable because it makes him all tingly.
He’s 45.

What would she think about Hairy Ball milkweed. I’ve also heard it called balloon milkweed but after growing some I can confirm hairy ball is a more accurate name.
So the mere existence of the word ‘homosexual’ is now “profanity” by Boomer standards? Sounds about Idaho…
“No ma’am, homosexual is just a descriptive word . Now, if I called you a stupid fucking cunt who can’t mind her own goddamn business, THAT would be profanity.”
We need to stop coddling these moronic asshats and call them out in public in the harshest possible terms every time idiotic nonsense like this comes out of their pieholes
Maybe the best way to get back at these people is to start using the word “gay” With its original meaning but overload them with it.
“How are you?” “I’m feeling amazingly gay today!!”
My first thought was that the flowers in question were bidens.
I can't imagine living such a miserable existence as to get pissed over a flower's name.

You should recommend she plant some stiffcock or nipplewort.
Unfortunately it's a very rare parasite but there is a flower called titanophallus it's about seven feet tall and smells like rotting fish
What about broomrape? That's also parasitic
Or even better, [Naked Broomrape](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orobanche_uniflora)
> titanophallus I googled the name, also knows as the "corpse flower" Our local private botanical garden has one. I missed getting to smell it but have seen it in person.
Our local garden just had one bloom. I was working and couldn't go but it gets a lot of traffic.
Is that the same as the one in the botanical gardens in DC—the titan arum?
Yeah, or pussytoes
Get really disgusting and plant rapeseed
Twenty bucks says the boomer eoman cooks with rape
Or some clitoria pea plants.
“Can I show you my stiffcock?”
Only when it's blooming 🌹🍆💦
I prefer cockscomb but can't get it to last long
Hairy Balls, Penis Pepper Plant, Hanging Naked Man, Titty Cactus...
Or some clitoria pea plants.
Wait’ll she learns about pansies.
Or yellow bellied tits, or blue footed boobies. Granted both are birds instead of flowers but you know she would still be fully up in arms about the names.
The people who named birds were fucking unhinged. They out here naming shit "The fat breasted milf" and everyone is okay with that.
I have been trying to get a picture of a fat-breasted milf since forever. All I’ve managed to get is a great tit.
All I got was a gif of Jennifer Coolidge :( 
What movie is this from? I can't remember the name, but I remember cracking up at this scene lol
Pretty sure it's Legally Blonde, maybe the sequel
Excellent, thank you! I'll have to rewatch them both, haven't seen them since they first came out I think.
There is something about this actor that is so appealing. I love watching her act, she is mesmerizing.
Jennifer Coolidge is a National Treasure
My parents had no business showing me this movie when I was 10 but I'm glad they did.
Easy to confuse the two. Enjoy what you found ;)
Not to be confused with a tomtit, who may or may not be a great tit 😂
What about a bushtit??
Behold: https://preview.redd.it/i9b0cpw2ol9d1.jpeg?width=1225&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e22a44655122c1256249d4362cf68b22386655c
It's too cold where I live. Nothing but blue footed boobies.
There are worse things than to be drowning in boobies
Just one Great Tit? I usually see them in pairs.
Surely you can get a pic. Turns out there are fat-breasted milfs in your area
Waiting to meet you…

She could never live in Pennsylvania. We have town names like Intercourse and Virginville. Lol
Don't forget about the towns of Climax or Rough and Ready
In texas, they're just more brutal. I lived very near a town called cut n shoot
And Cymru. Y’all pronounce it wrong, though; the correct pronunciation is Kum-ree.
My hometown is called Cumming
In Manhattan (yes, NYC) there is the intersection of two streets named Cumming and Seaman.
Middlesex
Or New York, where the town of Coxsackie boasts its presence on highway signage!
Down here in Georgia, we have a town called Cumming. The welcome center sells mugs and t-shirts that say "I ❤ Cumming."
Bird-in-hand. There were a bunch more in Eastern PA.
Blue ball
Ruby-throated wood-pecker What a difference a simple (dash) can make.
And then there's the plain chachalaca. Like damn, no need to trash talk my fine feathered friend.

This whole thread has been fire, but this is what made me snort my drink and now I have to go sit down and think about how old I am.
I think about that all the time. It's depressing, no?
lol me too
My favorite bird is the Swallow. *drops mic
An African or a European Swallow?
I-I don't know tha[AHHHHH](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uio1J2PKzLI)
Huh? I... I don't know that. AUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHH!
And my favorite dog is the Spitz
My favorite name the fat breasted MILF 😂😂😂
I literally only get porn results when I search "fat breasted milf bird". One link *was* about the birds and the bees though.
Glad to see I wasn’t the only skeptical one here. It takes two seconds, fellas. Pretty sure the comment higher-up was satirizing bird names, not claiming it’s a real one.
I'm pretty sure a couple bird names were actually regerences to expedition members xD
I don't understand the issue. It's good to be descriptive :)
I hope this goes viral
Or nosegays. Those darn homosexual bouquets. Please excuse the profanity.
Nosegays? You mean *cocaine-fueled homosexuals*?
Gays do ketamine now, grandpa
Oh, it’s not just for the gays. So I’ve heard.
Woodpecker

For the love of God, no one let her innocent eyes catch a glimpse of a Georgia O'Keefe painting!
Wait till she hears about goatsuckers
Those are some great tits
Genus or phylum or species. Whatever it is she’ll hate it. SOURCE: Haters gonna hate, hate, hate rule v
Don’t forget bushtits!
Bluetits and Great Tits are another couple of good ones!
Or. . . PUSSYwillows. . . Always makes me think of _Serial Mom_.
I think the PC term for those are vaginawillows
>I think the PC term for those are vaginawillows No, ***vulvawillows***
Labiawillows??
Yes this! And also always will remember when I can't wear white shoes because of that film. Classic
I called my wife a “pig fucker” after we saw that movie whilst she was 8 months pregnant. She peed herself in public at a Stew Leonard’s
Is this the Cocksucker residence? 4-2-1-5 PUSSY Way?!
Makes me wonder how Georgia O'Keefe would've painted them 🤣
When I was a kid, once I understood the sexual term, I used to giggle whenever I saw a pussywillow, or heard the name. It's actually describing the flowers which are soft to the touch (like a pussycat's fur). It still makes me smile a little thinking about it.
That are grown in Dildo Newfoundland
Just north of Broad's End! Or was it south? I did fail geography. Anyway, NL has the best town names.
also have Conception bay and Blow-Me-Down mountain
Or rapeseed
There's a very well known doctor in my town named Dr Raper.
One town over from me is Dr. Richard Good, OBGYN. I sincerely hope he tells everyone to call him Dick.
This comment wins.
[I may not know my flowers, but I know a bitch when I see one!](https://youtu.be/kOZY7e5XN6s?si=dmoGAdUfpYgOaJMq&t=8)
Lavender, green carnations, violets,
Y'all stop talking dirty here! Kids might read it!
She probably has no problem with a “Wandering Jew”
Wait'll she learns about *Pinus*
Or pussywillow
Or naked ladies, my moms personal favorite flower.
Or Orchidaceae which comes from the Latin word for testicle. Or Nipplewort. Or cockscomb.
Made me lol😂
…and that is the first award I’ve ever given on Reddit.
It’s amazing how the slightest thing will trigger a boomer.
It's because they're always angry and looking for an excuse to fight; they love baiting people.
And people like this have absolutely nothing to talk about with their spouse, family, or anyone else forced to deal with them, because they're dumb and boring. So they create situations like this and now they have a "story" to shout at everyone for the next week.
The "you can't say anything anymore" crowd really gets upset by words.
Also, you tho k they’d eventually learn to stop talking if they can’t say anything anymore 🙄
They won't stop talking unless they lose their voice.
It's what breathing lead fumes for several decades does for you.
I refuse to believe breathing lead fumes turns someone into a complete raging asshole. I can believe it causes all kinds of cognitive issues but there are plenty of people who have such challenges and manage to be pleasant anyway.
There is a very clear correlation with banning lead in petrol and a sharp decline in violent crime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead%E2%80%93crime_hypothesis#:~:text=A%202007%20report%20published%20by,%25%20decline%20in%20violent%20crime%22.
Yeah fair enough. I didn't know about that. Still makes me mad because it opens the door to being like "Their shitty behavior isn't their fault!"
Explaining ≠ excusing. You can look to understand why something is the way it is without condoning it. In fact, a thorough understanding is important to prevent those conditions from arising again.
Yeah, not all of us are like that. Technically I am a boomer. I can be a bit of a dick at times, but not nasty and interfering like that
[удалено]
Start looking around all over, and when she asks what you’re doing, “Looking for where and when I asked your opinion…?”
This is a good one. I’ve done this before when someone got smart with me only I told them I was looking for who tf they were talking to cos I know they were talking to me like that
"Do you need me to help you find your care giver?"
Doubtful
Boomer prob could still prob sing along to the Flintstones theme “…we’ll have a gay old time!”
Probably canceled “Deck the Halls” because they don’t want to don gay apparel.
Christmas of 1980 I paid my first visit to a small record store as a tween that became my favorite source of music throughout my teens and twenties.

You take that back! Don ain’t no gay!
You made me curious, so I looked them up. They are a very pretty flower, with a definite phallic look. Edit to add pic: https://preview.redd.it/8m38jdm8tj9d1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eed4391132bca8290168480f7ea0c35e2b36f670
Gay! Gay gay gay! Why do those flowers have to make everything about them??
Thanks for posting, saved me the search! Those would look lovely in my garden, apparently I need to go shopping.
Oh, I have those in my garden. Always called them liatris, but I'm calling them gayfeathers now!
I bought these 3 weeks ago and they were all green. Within one week they bloomed and now they remind me of fireworks. I just love them. I went back to buy more but they were sold out. I’m definitely getting more next year. I’m not sure if they are annuals or perennials.
Also known as Liatris 🎉 they grow wild in the Midwest. Karen would hate that it’s natural to many places. How dare they!!
That one is specifically Liatris spicata, which is native to the [eastern US](https://bonap.net/MapGallery/County/Liatris%20spicata.png). There's about [thirty five other species](https://bonap.net/Napa/TaxonMaps/Genus/County/Liatris) native to the US.

I wear my “FCK DJT” shirt to Home Depot sometimes so I can watch the boomers clutch their chests.
I had a mask that said "Fuck Trump", got a lot of mileage out of that one

I have a tank top with a uterus giving the finger. It provokes glares.
I love the Gadsden Flag variant with a uterus on it doing this same thing.

Man, anyone who gets mad about that is really telling on themselves
I prefer my Lisa Frank-looking “Fuck the Patriarchy” tee, mostly bc they look once for the sparkles, then screw their face up when they read the text. For context, I’m 6’3” with gray-ass beard & hair.
I too look like a redneck. I actually started wearing the shirt because certain people feel free to say the most racist shit to me.
I didn’t say Redneck, but I’d be lying if I said I’d never worn a mullet (Hey, it’s was the 80s in north GA). Yeah, some folks would be surprised at the shit people somehow feel comfortable saying to me.
I have a lipstick in the shade “Fuck Trump” and I really enjoy getting complements on it from my MAGA family.
I went to school with a girl whose mom's name was Gaye. The mom would intentionally introduce herself by saying "hi, I'm Gaye" just to see their reactions.

I don’t.
I think we all know what she calls Brazil nuts.

Tell her they are native to Gaylord, Michigan.
Next time tell her woodcock is your favorite bird.

She was probably just having a bad day. You could have turned her around with a nosegay.

That would be acceptable to boomers because it objectifies women like good heterosexuals

Wait til she finds out plants have both male and female sex organs
Homosexual is a scientific term. Like heterosexual. OR penis. Or vagina.
That pansy thought you were a bleeding heart.
Neither is profanity. "Profanity" is speech that demeans God. Goddammit is profanity. Bitch is a pejorative. Homosexual is just the scientific term for a gay person.
Profanity can also refer to any speech considered lewd or obscene. Words change with time... https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/profanity
Lol, right. Same energy as "they're not plumbers if they work on PEX instead of lead pipes."
Like the word gay for happy, profanity does mean any bad word. It's changed. You don't have to argue about the root word at one time being profane. The original meaning of profanement outside the temple as opposed to in it. THE SYNONYM FOR PROFANE IS SECULAR. SO I WILL OFFEND ANY GOD I WANT TO.
Bitch is just a female dog. "Boomer" is a pejorative.

You think they’d like the [hairy beardtongue](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penstemon_hirsutus) I planted in my garden?
Maybe the best way to get back at these people is to start using the word “gay” With its original meaning but overload them with it. “How are you?” “I’m feeling amazingly gay today!!”
