It can be yes but you gotta read your audience. And timing is important. I find it best to exclusively use "TWSS" after a big-standard non innuendo statement by a woman as a sort of antijoke.

[wierd]

I always find the "That's what she said" thing to be very off-putting.  Sex is like, possibly the furthest possible thing from my mind. Right up there with wallowing naked in raw sewerage.  As such, the implications of the joke at first confound, then disgust me.

[Hanslanda]

That's why I make it an antijoke and also most people are not asexual. Dunno if you are but I'm guessing so.

[scriver]

sounds more antisexual than asexual

[wierd]

OK.  Many people here are atheist, right?

Atheists aren't, by and large, down on people who adhere to a faith, they just dont want other people's faith shoved in their face all the time.

Same thing here.  I don't mind that other people have sex. I just dont like being constantly harangued by other people's sexual ... things.


To me, being bothered about sexual things like this tasteless class of joke, is like being asked if jesus is your lord and savior.  It's very off-putting.

I would never describe anything about other people talking about their religiousity as "filling me with disgust", no

[wierd]

What about religious infanticide? That *IS* a thing you know.

[Frumple]

I would never describe anything about other people talking about their religiousity as "filling me with disgust", no

... most things, no. Anything is stretching it a bit far when that religiousity can extend into stuff like child abuse and violent bigotry, among other things, though. I've definitely been around folks talking up their religious fervor in ways that caused disgust, unfortunately

[Arx]

That's about as far away from bringing up Jesus in casual conversation as dirty jokes are from sexual assault.

Most people don't hate it nearly as much as Wierd, anyway. Even I, despite being functionally asexual most of the time, can chuckle at a well-placed "sounds like my first time".

So yeah, antisexual sounds about right.

[wierd]

There's probably some truth to that;  I grew up in redneckistan flyoverland USA.  Unless you have a permanent derp-face when confronted with titties, swill beer as your preferred beverage, and chase skirt like a dog chases its tail, you are seen as "Odd."  (which admittedly, is why many alt-sex people find living here very intolerable.)

So, preface the religiosity analogy with "Imagine you are living in the bible belt", and bear in mind that it is not just "one off" instances of a well meaning but naive person asking you about how much you love jesus-- but whole social groups hounding you about it.

Being disgusted with the question can come from a number of ancillary factors, after all.

[Kagus]

I generally try and use it as an antijoke as well, for the most bizarre and unrelated statements that make absolutely no sense when trying to construe it as a sexual euphemism.


Fun fact, the Norwegian analog to "that's what she said" is "sa brura", which is a dialectal way of saying "...said the brother". So it's actually male-attributed here, which is an interesting quirk.

[scriver]

In Swedish the equivalent is "sa jokern till tjuven" and I think that is beautiful

[Kagus]

Ah yes, good ol' Böb Dyländ.

[scriver]

Hey he and Brucan are the only two Americans on first name basis with the entirety of the Swedish people
