Does this sound nasty to you?

as i was browsing the PSI sight i saw the slang of the day:

Random Slang
Skeeter:A slang term used to describe the Mosquito, possibly because people have an inability to spell Mosquito properly.
Common Usage: Going out to pop Cherries in my Skeeter.

now "Going out to pop Cherries in my Skeeter."

i dont know about you but back in what i shall i refear to as the day ( late 80's easrly 90's) when i was still a cool teenager "Cherry poping" or "Poping someones cherry" was refearing to taking a girls viginity, so when i read this i thought, wow, that sounds like, realy dirty, the people at PSI have filthy minds"
Is it their minds that are filthy or could they all be so young they have never heard it used in the way we used it "back in the day?"
Incidentaly i do call them skeeters cause i cant spell Mosquito.

I'd think that they know what it meant back in the day, because to the best of knowledge it's still means the same thing. Then again I'm from the Class of '91 so I stopped being cool a few years back I'd guess.

Then again maybe it does have a new meaning, because I'd hope that by Cherry Popping Age you'd be using something bigger then a "Skeeter"

No i would use a real mans ship, the Galaxy, skeeter's are toys for the same 12 year olds who play neveromancers in everquest

A cherry is often used to describe a new recruit in the army ...

If you're going to pop a cherry, you're going to cap a n00b in the face ... or so it seems. Either that or they do have sick minds.

Yea that slang is the suck, own a noob works for me

[Tobias]

And to "pop Cherries " as in kill more then one target in a skeeter, they would have to be newbies or people who have taken an oath to only kill with the knife and AMP, and they must also be bad shots with said AMP and slow moving to boot

[RocketFodder]

If you look, they also arbitrarily defined TR troops as 'cherries' due to the red coloration. The comment is meant to be a bad pun.

Iiiiiirony!

They look more like blackberries to me :o

At one point PSI criticised Planetside Shuttle's dictionary now they're creating their own from nowhere Hamma, where's our useless slang section?

Skeeter was the name of a 1980's B-Movie about mutant mosquitos which terrorize a hick town, and a nasty real estate agent (*gasp!*) plots to build homes for people to live in. It's one of the worst movies of all time, and hilarious too.
