    Toblerone is still the best chocolate made. Keep your Cadburys, Godiva. Lindt and Ferro Rochere.

    It might not withstand peer review, but I’m not going to disagree ;)

    Hersheys tastes like vomit. Literally - vomit there is not a euphemism for "bad."

    I wouldn't say vomit but you can tell it's cheap.

    Isn't a euphemism when you use a milder word for the objectionable term you might otherwise have used? It's hard to think of "vomit" as being milder than "bad"... although with the way you UKers butcher the language, I suppose anything is possible.

    I agree. There is that sicky aftertaste. Combined with the texture of dog chocolate.

    Slipknot fans are called Maggots.

    Large groups of Black Label Society
    fans are known as Chapters.

    Fans of 5FDP are Knuckle Heads.

    And for those that like the Tyranid Faction,
    would probably be called Lunch. :D

    And followers of Insane Clown Posse are known as Juggalos. I've thought about joining that tribe some summer, but I'm pretty old and don't much like rap music, though I can drink a Faygo with the best of them.

    I had a friend that got mixed up with that crowd, and she didn't
    like being in it for some very good reasons. She was treated badly
    in that niche community.

    Do they still call you that if it was only one cowboy, and just for a few months? (Asking for a friend)

    That is like saying you're a Metal Head when you only listen to one song from the genres.
    But it is up for you to decide, no one can tell you what sub-culture you belong to or on
    the basis for why you belong to it. :)

    Haha! I was bored, went to a rodeo. Went to western bar after. Lots of cowboys, one in particular who looked especially good in his belt buckle. He wasn't the only one who could ride.

    Sadly, he was more of a one-trick pony, so after a while I let him run free again ;)

    This particular bar is nowhere near a rodeo - just in the city near an arena. I'm sure pretty much every city has one. The buckle is kind of a requirement though, so I've heard.

    Keeping with the Cowboy theme, just a bit longer.
    A common slang term for them is Shit kicker.

    And a really useless fact is knowing what a blumpkin
    pie is best left unknown to you if you already don't
    know. Those of who do would rather they didn't know.

    I hang out with guys too much. I almost lost my breakfast. I had finally gotten that term out of my head. Thanks @Cave Troll :ohno:
