The etymology of twink is uncertain, though the OED hesitantly suggests a relationship to twink 'twinkling', and it notes a popular association of twinkie, and so twink as well, with the snack cake Twinkie (the OED doesn't go so far as to record jocular references to twink(ie)s as being, or getting, filled with cream).

Within the world of gay men, the labels are taken seriously as social identifiers, but as is common with labels associated with social stereotypes, they're often used in a mildly mocking (even self-mocking) fashion.īelieve it or not, the OED (additions series 1993) has an entry for uses of twink, and twinkie as well, with reference to gay men. The set of types is not a taxonomy of gay men a great many gay men don't fall clearly within one of the types. Each is associated with a stereotype involving physical appearance, attitudes, and presentation of self, through dress, bearing, gesture, speech, and so on there is a weak, but only a weak, association with preferences for sex acts and roles. In current gay slang, it labels one of a number of recognized "types" of gay men: twink, bear, clone, prep(py), leatherman, queen, jock, etc. I had to look it up: TWINK is gay slang (I quote Wikipedia) for "a young or young-looking gay man (usually white and in his late teens or early twenties) with a slender build, little or no body hair, and no facial hair."įrom the Wikipedia entry, it's hard to see why anyone should treat twink as a rude word. The filtering system spotted the first five letters of the first word and pounced. It transpired that the offending "word" was in the title of a nursery rhyme I listed: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. Do you recall reading any rude words? I don't remember writing any. The issue last week was blocked by one site in the UK because it had a rude word in the message body.

TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE TWINK It's amazing what you can learn from e-mail error messages. Here are some hilarious and somewhat charming pictures from the viral sensation, showcasing some of Little Dude's adventures and the comical situations he gets himself into.Michael Quinion reports in his latest World Wide Words (#661, October 17): While these are technically penis pics, they're much more adorable and charming than something you'd send while sexting. Little Dude is a good-natured Everyman who seems more than ready to dress up as a superhero, or dive head first into a cake. I don't think there's a dream that too big for Little Dude.

It seems pretty obvious that there will be a book at some point such as Sh*t My Dad Says, or maybe even an animated show.

Little Dude has been featured on The Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, and Metro.UK to name just a few, and is currently burning up the internet. Since you can't have funny penis pictures and NOT share them, Things My D*ck Does was born. The San Francisco-based photographer decided that his penis probably did whatever he could for fun, as penises are always up for a good time.Ĭalling his penis Little Dude (or LD), Big Dude (for lack of a real name) started taking pictures of his penis in all kinds of hilarious costumes and situations. What does a penis do while the rest of his body is asleep? That's what the anonymous photographer behind the Tumblr site Things My Dick Does wondered.
