You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast at savage.love.
If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony, well, there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast.
Hey everybody, it is my birthday this week and I'm away. So got a short intro for you, a packed show, but a short intro and an ask, a favor, something I want you, my listeners, to do for me for my birthday. You know that expression, fuck around and find out? It's never good what people find out. Someone fucks around taking selfies at the top of the Grand Canyon and they find out about gravity.
Or in 2016, a whole bunch of people fucked around in the voting booth and voted third party because they thought Clinton was going to win and they find out, yeah, that wasn't a lock for Clinton. Best definition for fuck around and find out, I could find after fucking around online for a bit, was written by John Ancora.
A colloquial expression used to convey a warning or a challenge, it implies that if someone continues to engage in risky or reckless behavior, they will eventually face negative consequences. The phrase is often used humorously or sarcastically to caution against making unwise decisions.
You know, it seems to me when read literally and read pedantically, fucking around, taking risks doesn't always lead to negative consequences. I know it's been true in my own life, and I can't imagine I'm the only one out there for whom this is true, but there have been times when I fucked around and found out something I needed to know or wanted to know.
Or I fucked around, I took a risk, I behaved a little recklessly, and I found someone I wanted to keep fucking around with for a while or forever. My point, sometimes we fuck around and find out something good. Sometimes we fuck around and find out something great. So here's what I want for my birthday. I want you, yes, you with the earbuds in listening to the show at the gym.
Yes, you listening to the show in your car with the five-year-old in the backseat that you hope is asleep. Yes, you on the subway wondering if the little old lady sitting next to you can hear the show over your headphones. And yes, she can. I want you to jump into the comment thread for this week's show and share something good you found out fucking around.
If it's not something you want to share with the whole class, if it's something for my eyes only, you can email your fucked around and found out something good story to me at mail at savagelove.net. This is all I want for my birthday. Some good stories about the great things that happened to you.
