Fox News' Kennedy Montgomery has a "Princess Bride" moment with the word "slut-shaming"

Former MTV VJ and current Fox News host Kennedy Montgomery recently came down with a case of Princess Bride Syndrome, where she and a co-host used a word of which they apparently didn't know the meaning.

The word wasn't "inconceivable" this time; it was "slut-shaming."

According to the urban dictionary, "slut-shaming" can be defined as follows:

"An unfortunate phenomenon in which people degrade or mock a woman because she enjoys having sex, has sex a lot, or may even just be rumored to participate in sexual activity..."

That's the condensed version of the definition. So, how did Ms. Montgomery and Outnumbered co-host Andrea Tantaros interpret the word? I'll allow them to tell you...

Montgomery (when talking about the 2010 Dodd-Frank law, which would require companies to report pay ratios between its CEOs and employees): "They are essentially trying to slut-shame companies into paying their highest workers less money."

Tantaros: "And slut-shaming companies is not the job of the U.S. government."

Inigo Montoya, care to take it from here?

"Slut-shaming..."

Montoya: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
