Stinging Pants

 Pants that sting

When one goes clubbing on a Friday night, one runs the risk of having one's bottom grabbed. Although many people like that sort of attention, I am sure that there are equal amounts that’d rather keep themselves to themselves.

For the more reserved clubber, I propose the invention of trousers whose posterior area has tiny, nettle-like barbs weaved into its outer fabric. If a Gentleman finds himself stung, the antidote can be found on the pants of a more open woman, whose outer fabrics are spliced with soothing dock leaves.

       Boobie traps are usually not legal. I don't know about this one, though. Would the plaintiff have a case if he claimed injury and were to sue the wearer of such an article of clothing? The plaintiff might charge that, in the tight confines of a crowded club, he had inadvertently brushed against the stinging clothing.   

       Could be a case of stingus backfirus.

       Ha, wicked! I like this one. Not only is this useful for fending off men who grope women, but for those who also take the liberty of freaking women on the dancefloor--uninvited, I might add.

       [bristolz] Any information regarding the legality of butt traps?
—spiritualized, Oct 26 2004
   

       ? What are those?
—bristolz, Oct 26 2004
   

       *snort* She doesn't know what butt traps are.
—Machiavelli, Oct 26 2004
   

       One way to avoid the "inadvertent" claim would be to have the nettle barbs mounted on the outside on a large tube sock. A bar of soap is placed within the sock and held in place with a knot. The sock is then swung firmly into the grabbing person.

       Neither do I. Got something stuck in your nose?

       Never, never put these on inside out unless you should find yourself in a situation where rapid pant-removal is required.
—vigilante, Oct 27 2004
   

       Perhaps. Boobie means nothing, really, as it's not in the dictionary.
—bristolz, Oct 27 2004
   

       I have a friend, a male friend at that, who would appreciate this item not only for clubbing but around the house too. Poor guy, everyone loves his ass so much.
—harderthanjesus, Oct 27 2004
   

       It does not show up on dictionary.com except as the plural.

       Let's change the subject and talk about Mencken's "booboisie" traps.

I like this idea although I would make the observation that, in these degenerate times, the "gentlemen" aren't the only ones grabbing - I've often been pinched by drunken harlots whilst out and about. Invariably, their appearance is as ugly as their nature and causes me great distress. Make clubbing boxers as well, so that letches of both genders can be repelled. [+]
—DocBrown, Oct 27 2004
   

       What's the masculine for "harlot?" Perhaps it's a genderless word?
—bristolz, Oct 27 2004
   

       [bristolz] dictionary.com has "harlot" as "woman prostitute". I ran into similar difficulties from the opposite direction with "lecher" which is defined as "man given to lechery" so had to invent "letches" to cover it. T'would seem the dictionary has some out-of-date ideas about who gets up to what these days. Maybe "harlout" for the masculine?
—DocBrown, Oct 27 2004
   

       ...or "harlock?"
—bristolz, Oct 27 2004
   

       how about "midnight cowboy", "hustler", (and "mimbo"a la Jerry Seinfeld)   

       and my personal favorite when I fantasize in Italian, "Gigolo" [edited ]   

       ps.[+] for the idea

       Cheers :P
—spiritualized, Oct 27 2004
   

       How about stinking pants. That would work just as well I think...
—k_sra, Oct 27 2004
   

       The great thing about the English language is that it's OK to make up new words, in fact, it's encouraged (by who I'm not sure, but it is). I propose harlout enter common parlance.   

       Gigolo, n'est pas [dentworth]?
—harderthanjesus, Oct 27 2004
   

       No, just your bum.
—harderthanjesus, Oct 28 2004
   

       You need 'ego-boosting money-pants': with coins and notes printed onto the seat you'll be forever getting your bum pinched.
—wagster, Oct 28 2004
   

       Just embed pinch/fondle dectectors into the appropriate areas of your pants that trigger a recording that shouts "Oy Pervert! Get your filthy pwas off my backside!" or similar. Suitable embarrassment for them but no risk of lawsuits due to poisioning.
