Not that I think that anyone's being bullying here, to be clear, but it just leaves a bad vibe with me.

Just to touch on this for a moment. How many people feel this way? I say "my boner" all the time. I say it about things that excite me and am using sex as a form of expression for my desire for said item. It's not sexual, it's purely out of the LOL's for me, even if no one found it funny.
I can see the locker room talk thing for sure though and am obviously guilty of it. I don't understand how the "family that blanks together" fits into that mold but the others I get. I guess I literally don't understand that one? Huh. Anyway, if it bothers people a lot, I can try and stop saying it. I'm all for making myself a better person, so if I need to stop throwing boners around, I would.
The bro culture is stupid, and I always thought we were all kind of sarcastically making fun of it this whole time. I mean, none of us are real bros that I know of. haha. BUT! You guys are all my bros (buddies, pals, loves...what have you). So, I use that term interchangeably with dude or homie or anything similar in nature.
Plus I don't to grow up man. Getting old sucks.

Having said that, I feel a little outside the "group", but that's because most of you have been here way longer than me so no wonder. I don't see it as a problem just how things are.
