Gosh Lurker,
You mean its politically incorrect to like dinosaurs on this board? Already got in hot water in the "against the mainstream" board for talking about ufos...
Man, you really have to watch your step on these boards... :o

One general answer would be, when "properly" viewed, everything is politically incorrect.

Specifically for this, "cute" is considered by many feminists to be a put-down, for reasons such as it mentally links to "...girl" and is a description of the woman's physical appearance, therefore treating her as an "object". OTOH, per pure PC, "cute" can be applied to men with no problem. Go figure...

I've worked "with" a number of ultrafeminists. With one it finally got to the point where I had whittled down my greeting to "You sure look like you this morning." which then evolved into "Hello."

Um... no... I have gotten in real trouble for using the term. But I think that I leave it to the sane people to discuss its political correctness or lack there of... :o

pteranodon, to me it just means that you have good eyes and an open, honest expression... and that you look like you laugh a lot.

Trying to avoid blanket statements, some women view the term cute as an 'also ran,' like telling an athlete that their performance was marginal. Comparing cute with terms like beautiful, sexy or gorgeous will help you get the idea.

[Lycus]

I don't know anyone who considers 'cute' to be the least bit offensive. And it is equally applicable to both genders. I've never known it to be a marginal term either. As far as I'm concerned, it's simply an informal synonym of 'attractive'.

In fact, as far as my generation and area goes, I think it's used by women more often than men. When growing up, the informal expression I usually heard from guys to describe attractive females was 'hot'.

Well I do not use in that context. I think cute indicates beauty that is lit from within by intelligence, thoughtfulness and honesty and compassion.

Back OT.... PC is becoming stifling. I consider myself polite and very respectful to other people, as I was brought up to be. Yet, around a month ago, I was abused for offering my seat on the train to a 40-ish year old lady. Apparently simple politeness is now regarded as demeaning to the recipient. :(

Pteranodon - by your photo, you are very cute. PC be damned. :evil:

I'm with you on that definition. I do try to stay away from that term when complementing women that I am not too familiar with, though.

[dvb]

I just think of cute as a type of hotness. I don't try to read too much into these meanings. :oops:

[Lycus]

On a side note, wouldn't pteranodon and I make a 'cute' couple? :P

:o chivalry is not dead... it's been beaten to a pulp by the PC crowd and locked in a dungeon.

i'm glad i hang out with women who appreciate it when you treat them in a chivalrous manner.

i'm so sick and tired of pussy footing around anything that could even remotely being construed as offensive, insensitive or thoughtless that i've been on the verge of becoming the total opposite of what a gentleman stands for. 8-[

anyway, good job on the album, Lycus. i'll try and dig up domething not too offensive to add to this collection.

Pteranodon,
Being a latino, I consider it a compliment. I also like to put in a nice word for all endangered species... :D

[gethen]

Many years ago, I was told my someone who should have known that the term "cute" was used by cowboys to refer to someone who was bowlegged. In that context, I'd consider it less than complimentary.

Yup, but my taste does not run in the direction of cowboys, but rather dinosaurs... :D ergo the chance of my using this term in that context is non-existant...

Casually, I tend to use "cute" as a synonym for "attractive." Strictly, I'd tie it in with having dainty or delicate features and also with a sense of approachability. A woman with a little, turned-up nose and one with a straight roman nose may be equally attractive, while I might call the former cute and the latter beautiful. Likewise, a woman with a smile and a friendly expression might be cute while one equally attractive but with a more serious expression might be beautiful.

[pumpkinpie]

Casually, I tend to use "cute" as a synonym for "attractive."

Same here. To me, at first glance , a guy is either "cute" or "not cute" in a very generic way. I use any other more descriptive adjectives (handsome, distinguished, gorgeous, hot, good-looking) upon closer inspection. It always seems weird to me that a guy would refer to a girl as "cute." To me, the equivalent in that case would be "pretty." But what do I know about how guys think??? :wink:

I think that while being a good technical language, English does not have enough words to describe other things. I think that the English words available are not adequate to capture what what I see first when I look at someone -- the spirit that lights up (or fails to light up) the rest of them.

I think that this is a distinct quality that English does not have words for because it is not easily defined, measured, or agreed upon.

Same idea. I guess I reserve that descriptor for women who have my interest in an adult context. Saying a child/adolescent is cute is another matter.

Also derogatory in Scotland where it means untrustworthy or sly. Don't know why.

Here Pteranodon would be a "bonnie lassie".

I regularly get into trouble in the States for my Scots habit of referring to everyone under the age of 50 as "boy" or "girl", maybe I should move to Oz.

Edit: The Oz reference was to a post I thought was in this thread but must be somewhere else.

You're both correct. As Dr. Morbius explains:

How d'you post pictures?
Do you have some webspace?

Yes, I think so. Why?

[Candy]

Most BABBers don't. Web space is needed to post your photo.

[Lycus]

Yes, I think so. Why?
Well, you just have to upload your picture to your webspace, copy its address, and then put that address into your post with image tags around it like this:

[img]http://address.of.your.picture[/img]
That's assuming the provider of your webspace isn't one of those free services (Geocities, Tripod, etc.), because they usually don't let you do that.

[Argos]

How d'you post pictures?
Do you have some webspace?

Yes, I think so. Why?

I think Richard wonders how to publish the photo on BABB photo album, i.e., in your webspace, Lycus. :)

[Bawheid]

The simplest way is to attach it to an e-mail to Lycus and let him do the heavy lifting. That was the route I took.

Hmm... didn't anticipate that would happen. Well, I also have one of the pics here (http://www.eknent.com/etc/cityboy916a.jpg)... the other one is just me over a keyboard with headphones on.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[dvb]

Most BABBers don't. Web space is needed to post your photo.

Most BABBers do, they just don't know it. ;)

Nearly every ISP gives you at least 10MB of webspace. Just go to the homepage of your internet provider, and they should have instructions on how to upload files to your webspace, and you should be set. :D

[Lycus]

I think Richard wonders how to publish the photo on BABB photo album, i.e., in your webspace, Lycus. :)
Oh, that would be okay. I just figured that he wanted to have the picture appear in his post. You can't image link off the album, you can only put in a regular link to the picture's page. If that's all you want to do, Richard, then just fire an email at me.

[Richard of Chelmsford]

Lycus has very kindly added my face (ugh) to the BABB Yahoo list..I just wish I'd sent a better photo!!

Yours,

Count Dracula.

[Thumper]

I'll turn one in as soon as SciFi Chick sends in one of hers. :D

[Lycus]

Yeah, more kilopis. Currently, we have four out of ten in the album. :)

[bearcub]

I have an up-to-date shot (in color this time :) ) that was taken about a month ago at a bar & grill I have been playing at.


Lycus, please update that crummy B&W one with this one (http://us.f2.yahoofs.com/users/4154bf91z7be82b1d/cb56/__sr_/6f5a.jpg?phElMVBBNjBAQjRE) in the photo album.

I would have posted this image, but the site won't let me.

Thanks!

[Lycus]

The link's not working for me, bearcub. Go ahead and email it to me.

[bearcub]

I'm not sure why it's being difficult, but the email's on the way. Thanks Lycus.

[Lycus]

Haha, that's cool. I wanted to play drums, but my parent's were weary about the noise. Somehow I was convinced to play guitar, and it has worked out nicely. :)

[bearcub]

You should ask my parents about the fun they had when I started playing my first drum set when I was in Jr High :lol:

If you're ever out on the left coast, let me know and we can jam (I have a a few guitars you can use) 8)

By the way, I was intoxicated the night of that picture, and I didn't get much sleep. That would at least explain the bags under my eyes. The grey hair is real though, and whether you can tell or not may be a different story. :lol:

At least we aren't going bald! :D

Well if SciFi Chick took it the wrong way, I apologize.
I meant it in a very good way.

[Lycus]

Lycus and Normandy, you guys might also want to apologize...
Well, my little joke was actually making fun of Normandy's posts of overexcitement. The cold shower was to calm him. The context isn't quite the same as what I suspect you took from it, and was not meant to refer to a picture. Sorry for the misunderstanding, but that is honestly what I meant.

Dude, settle down a bit. It's all fun and games. I changed it anyway, but lighten up a bit. It's not meant to be serious, just like Lycus' post was just supposed to be a joke, a small jab at my expense (which was quite funny).

I've officially sent my photo to Lycus's e-mail. I suppose it will be on the album any time now. 8-[ Simply lovely! :D

My neighbor was a WWII pilot and still flew this for the CAF. We moved, but I doubt he still does at his age.

A co-worker's father flew this (25 missions in WWII). I believe it got special mention during a hanger dedication in England.

I made these to honor them and to see if I was any good with computer graphics (Corel).

I made one huge lighthouse graphic and gave up after that one. :roll:

[Edits were due to my old Corel 9 export problems. I used another Computer with Corel 10 and resized. If still too big, let me know]

Colt, George, and Wolverine, I just wrote a paper on the Airplanes of WWI. I focused on France’s Spad XIII, Great Britian’s Sopwith Camel, German’s Albatros D Va, and America’s Curtiss JN “Jenny”. 8)

It was hard to find photos on the Internet for the planes of yesteryear. :(

This is a picture of me from Denmark. I am standing at the most Northern point in Jutland--Skagen, specifically a place called Grenen. It is where 2 oceans meet one another.

Here (http://home.utah.edu/~mjm23/Benjamin/11-08-04/100_3877.JPG) is a picture of me with my nine-month-old son. We both like Led Zeppelin (well I like Led Zeppelin and he does not yet know he likes Led Zeppelin. :) ) Being biased, I think my son is the cutest thing to have walked the earth. :)

Same eyes, ears, mouth, and probably nose when he gets a little taller. It's an adorable picture. :D Oh, and he's is definitely a very cute kid.

Yes, he is cute, but not as cute as my nephew.

Andromeda321, I am not sure how cold the water was. It was September, Nothern Denmark and windy--the water was cold--thus why my feet are buried in the sand. Having lived in Texas for 19 years, I would not go swimming at that temperature.

Incidentally in that particular place it is illigal to go swimming, as the currents pose a mortal danger, as this sign shows.

Well, in Danish, German and French is is mortal danger, in English it is just dangerous That is my mother and brother.

I was in New York City last weekend and got some pictures. I figured I'd post one just to be current about things. :D

The URL doesn't seem to be working Normandy.

[Humphrey]

Thats weird it worked a few minutes ago for me. But now its not.

Weird, same here. When I posted it everything was fine. I'll see if I can fix it.

[Normandy6644]

It appears to be working again after I retyped the URL. Hopefully it will stay working.

[dvb]

Hmm, nope. That URL doesn't like me. :-?

[pghnative]

Worked for me at first -- it no longer works though.

[Lycus]

Normandy, you're using a Yahoo album? Don't post the direct link to the picture's URL, they don't like that. Post the link to the picture's page.

I thought I tried that. I'll give it another shot...
