| Oct 26, 2014 at 17:47 | comment | added | Centaurus | @CanisLupus With reference to your question on "how the term would be used", as someone who has been here for a long time and has answered 388 questions so far, you don't seem to have the same rigid standards every time you answer a question. english.stackexchange.com/questions/158178/… or english.stackexchange.com/questions/157795/… This last one... is it about English language ? Or Physics ? | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 17:36 | comment | added | Centaurus | @CanisLupus uptodate.com/contents/… This is the link. | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 16:45 | comment | added | Canis Lupus | Are you interested in the subject of ED or EDS? The link in your last comment looks irrelevant to ED, but relevant to EDS. What do you mean "not looking for lists"? What is your native language and what are some or the corresponding pejorative terms that you refer to in that language? To keep answers focused, typically some context, like how these terms would be used, is helpful. As someone who has contributed here for several months, you should know that this information, if added, should go into an edit of the question, and not in the comments. | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 16:28 | comment | added | Centaurus | @CanisLupus The reference site is uptodate.com/contents/… where I am a subscriber and it's one of the most reliable sites on medical matters. I could have got the definition at Wikipédia or another non-medical site but I treat medical matters as they should be treated. And sure "it took 12 hours for a correction to be made". First, you didn't mention that flaw to me. Second, even if you did, I posted the question late at night and then went to bed. | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 16:23 | comment | added | Centaurus | @CanisLupus Nobody mentioned "a web page that makes no mention of the topic to me". Instead, it was flagged to one of the moderators. Had you mentioned it in your comment, I would have given you the right explanation. But it seems to me is that what you wanted from the start was to see the question closed. | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 15:41 | comment | added | SrJoven | Here's my take on why I said POB/fishing. Regardless of if the subject is on topic, it is not a good fit (and this is my opinion, likely shared with others) to find pejoratives for the sake of finding pejoratives. Yes, I know the OP says "no list" but what does one expect from the question? One suggested word or a yes/no answer? Then only one answer need be given. But more importantly, what problem does the question solve? Why would this site be good to provide a [list of] pejorative[s] for a phrase? It seems contrary to be nice. | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 14:56 | comment | added | Canis Lupus | I would reconsider my remarks if it weren't for the fact that the single link referred to as "research" pointed to a web page that makes no mention of the topic. It took twelve hours for a correction to be made, and even then it was done by a Andrew, a long time contributor to this site, and not by the author of the question. And given that the Author claims to be an MD, I would hope he might have taken the hint he so explicitly asked for and provided improved content. It's not as if he arrived here yesterday. | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 13:51 | comment | added | Centaurus | @HotLicks whether pejorative or not, It's a word I already know. | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 13:13 | comment | added | Hot Licks | "Impotent" is a pejorative, in many contexts. | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 12:47 | comment | added | Centaurus | Only subscribers have access to it. But I can give you my login and password if you want to check. | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 12:45 | comment | added | Andrew Leach♦ | @Centaurus You're free to keep the right reference if you link to the page containing that text and it's accessible to non-subscribers. Otherwise you risk spam flags (which is how this was brought to attention in the first place). | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 12:43 | comment | added | Centaurus | @Andrew Leach The definition was taken from "www.uptodate.com", a site I subscribe. Please, keep the right reference. | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 12:40 | comment | added | Centaurus | @CanisLupus I suspect any question related to sex will be labeled as "not a serious question" by a large number of members. There are, however, a few clues suggesting that mine doesn't fit that. First, my use of a technical vocabulary should point to that. Second, I explained that there are several terms for that in my mother tongue, and I don't know any in English. Third, I made it quite clear what I'm looking for and not for a moment did I try to sound funny or fresh. Last - and there's no way you could know that -I'm an MD, middle-aged, and my questions about the subject are always serious. | |

Better link to an actual source of that quote.

| Oct 26, 2014 at 8:52 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | Unfortunately, a question like ought to hit the "hot network questions", SE users would then confirm or offer alternative answers. In any case, the question is definitely ON TOPIC. | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 8:38 | comment | added | Fattie | @Centaurus - regarding the downvotes. Voting on this site is basically nuts, so just totally ignore it. I think just one problem is a lot of people here, uh, can't speak English and hence miss the tone of QA. To me your question reads as a perfectly straightforward, completely interesting, everyday question. It does not in the slightest come off as a "bevis and buthead" style "hee hee joke" question. Regarding "not enough research" it's just meaningless, the last 50 questions on here have no research and are just people asking things. | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 7:07 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | Wow! Four downvotes and four upvotes (so far). Golly gosh, it appears to be a highly sensitive subject, and one many men prefer not to dwell on :P | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 6:59 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | @CanisLupus he has shown research, he's included the definition of erectile dysfunction, the OP also wants to know in which English speaking country these slang words are commonly used, a very sensible request from a non-native speaker. I suppose he could have googled "slang impotency" but very often these "slang" sites offer an interminable list of expressions from which it is impossible to discern those that are more common and established than others. | |

| Oct 26, 2014 at 4:50 | comment | added | Sylas Seabrook | @ErikKowal I think I found it after my last comment: Primarily Opinion-Based. I disagree, though: "Does XYZ exist?" Can be easily established by demonstrating existence. | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 4:50 | comment | added | Canis Lupus | The flaw in our question is that you have shown no amount of research to indicate that there is an ounce of seriousness to it. In case I have the wrong impression, you should at least recognize that the way you posed your question points to that conclusion. | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 4:48 | comment | added | Sylas Seabrook | @SrJoven I don't see how POB fits here, so +1 ErikKowal. | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 3:52 | comment | added | Blessed Geek | Any downvotes to this question without the courtesy of explanation is symptomatic of it. | |
| Oct 26, 2014 at 3:01 | comment | added | Erik Kowal | @SrJoven - What's 'POB'? | |

| Oct 26, 2014 at 0:54 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | I think there are more pejorative expressions for the lack of manhood than for its limpness. I shall be particularly interested in hearing any new slang terms. :) | |
