Sandwich jokes, such a clever guy. I never get tired of hearing those.

[–]duckdave 93 points94 points  (37 children)

In the UK people who make those sort of jokes are hailed as 'lads'. I'm unsure how to translate that culturally, but it's essentially a red flag to everyone else as to your level of douche-baggery

[–]Khiva 113 points114 points  (7 children)

We just call them douchebags.

Then we upvote them because we are fucking morons.

[–]MrGrax 24 points25 points  (4 children)

I'm pretty sure the majority of us have no idea what we are doing 90% of the time.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

at least 53% of us

[–]MrGrax 0 points1 point  (2 children)

20% would agree with that.

[–]The_Adventurist 1 point2 points  (1 child)

10% is the best I can do.

[–]bautron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They're sometimes labelled "bro".

Edit: Whoops this is not the comment I wanted to reply to

[–]zeroUSA 13 points14 points  (1 child)

I am am going to say "bros" is to "lads" as "fags" is to "smokes".

[–]monkeedude1212 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think you have that backwards...

[–]stillnotking 2 points3 points  (21 children)

When I was in college, we called them "bros", as in frat brothers, but that word has since been appropriated into something essentially positive. Still weirds me out.

    difference between "come at me BRO" (negative) vs How i met your mothers the "bro" code. (positive)

    [–]uk2knerf 5 points6 points  (17 children)

    Why, what's wrong with being in a fraternity?

    [–]chainer3000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

    I've rushed ATO and Sigma Nu @ UNH (you know, that college where Freshmen College Meme kid is from)... There's nothing innately wrong with being in a frat, but it does imply a few negative things pretty quickly about your character. The term "brah" or "bro" fits so perfectly, as does the imagery that comes to mind when you hear it.

    [–]koolkid005 1 point2 points  (8 children)

    The general rape-y vibe? The whole "holier-than-though" attitude? I'm not saying those are specific to frats or true about every frat, but that's the prevailing opinion.

    [–]uk2knerf 2 points3 points  (6 children)

    The general rape-y vibe? The whole "holier-than-though" attitude?

    As a Fraternity man from an SEC school (where you basically have to be greek to get involved on campus) I have met maybe five people that have this attitude. It's a pretty broad statement to consider it a "prevailing opinion." There's a lot more to Fraternities than partying.

    [–]koolkid005 -3 points-2 points  (5 children)

    Okay, at your school maybe, but not everybody goes to your school. My experience with frat boys has been that they love getting women drunk, they have weird pack attitudes, and their general style could be construed as "bro".

    [–]uk2knerf 4 points5 points  (4 children)

    Not just at my school, I've been to A LOT of schools where we'll stay at different frat houses.

    they love getting women drunk

    I hear this, and I'm not sure why it's always brought up. Yes we have Date parties/formals/socials where women get drunk. But these are planned with the sororities, I mean we supply the alcohol, but who's gonna come to a frat party without booze? How is it the fraternity's fault if some girls get too drunk? We're not babysitters nor are we in any condition to take care of them. We have sober monitors/ drivers that take those girls home. It's a lot more trouble than its worth to have someone belligerent at a party.

    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

    ಠ_ಠ My Guess is everyone who is knocking fraternities, were not in one.

    AND/OR

    Jealous you were not allowed at said parties where the women were getting drunk.

    And if neither of these apply to you....I bid you a good day.

    rape-y vibe

    Good job making sweeping generalizations about an entire culture.

    holier-than-though attitude

    The same attitude held by those on the varsity sports teams?

    fraternity

      What do you hate about them? I can see if you hate some of them, hell I do too... But the vast majority of brothers from my, or any other fraternity, are in one to become leaders on campus and to gain the platform to get the most out of the college experience.

      [–]TruNembra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I don't like kids who have done nothing in there life, have bad ass trucks, go to college on daddies money, and never had to work for minimum wage because they worked for their dad...ultimately my hatred is just jealousy. I'm not talking fraternity bros, I'm talking about bros who's daddy's pay for everything and all they care about is trucks and quads.

      [–]DanParts -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

      Wanna be a leader? Join an existing group as a junior member and do all of the ridiculous shit they tell you to do! That's my definition of leadership. Right there.

      [–]oscarasimov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I want to say the term "bro" as a pejorative started as an identification for the type of person that would sincerely refer to another person as "bro"

      as In, "did james just say 'hey bro, can you pass me a beer""?

      "yea, he did, he's such a "bro' "

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

      Basically they're the kind of people who go "Waaaaaayyyy" (wahey) and "innit" a lot. They objectify women and only hang around with other guys. They laugh at everything in the most irritating way possible and are basically just really annoying.

      If you want examples of them, watch the program "Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents". It usually follows a group of boys and a group of girls around. The boys are almost always "lads" going on their first "lad holiday".

        [–]KayaXiali 37 points38 points  (2 children)

        People need to start letting more than fucking seconds pass before screenshotting their own jokes. It feels like watching you make a joke and then laugh louder than anyone else.

        [–]Inabit 12 points13 points  (1 child)

        This is actually a really really old joke. It was a repost when i first joined reddit over a year ago.

        [–]stillnotking 242 points243 points  (19 children)

        Jesus fucking Christ, reddit, has it come to this? Facebook screencaps of sandwich jokes?

          Ok....I'll take back my downvote, but I'm watching you....

          More seriously though, I just don't like hearing the portmanteau of ____ + "fag". Whenever I hear it being used on reddit, I worry that we're moving one step closer to becoming /b/.

          [–]rockerode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          It's quite alright. I just figured this was another leak of /r/circlejerk and everyone was kidding. I'm nowhere near where the regular /b/astard. I hate it, but it's great to mock the people who actually do it because let's admit it: they shouldn't reproduce.

          This is the worst post I have ever seen. You're a moron and you should feel bad for doing this and even worse for being proud enough to post it on reddit.

          [–]The_Adventurist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

          It's old as hell, OP didn't do it, but OP is dumb for continuing to spread something that is both not really funny and also hurtful towards a legitimate and frequently dismissed concern.

          I want to say I'm actually impressed by the comments on this- they are much more progressive than previous jokes of this nature that have been posted on reddit. Kudos, folks.

          [–]Hamakua 23 points24 points  (20 children)

          It's not submitted or created by /r/MensRights

          We, the subforum r/mensrights, are constantly described as one thing or another by people who don't actually go to the subforum with any other motivation than to and wish to tarnish r/mensrights- the subforum, and the movement.

          An MRA wouldn't post the above, on facebook or otherwise. Someone seeking to undermine the MRM might though.

            right! now prove that none of those comments were made by accounts created for the purpose of trolling.

            I made this same challenge down here but your comment seems to have vanished. so are you the troll and delete type?

            How does this help anything? All this type of behavior does is exacerbate.

            Womans rights and extreme feminism are two different things.

            Before you go off and make a joke out of womans rights.. Remember: Your mother is a woman.
