Nobody is against b00bies.
oh yeh? well... well... there are 'lots of guys who'd like to be right up against b00bies.

everyone likes to be against b00bies. however no one is in favor of being mean to the b00bies to make them not want to fall out. hrrrm. i'm so confused.

I made it up. You'd have to have a lead paint diet to base an "offense" on that statement...

Inquiring minds want to know.

If I told you that your b00bies fell out would you hold them against me?

We all have a "falling out" every once in a while with our homies, however if they love us, they take us back.

Maybe someone just "fell off" a turnip truck before starting to work for the company.

However I can blame this on the ignorant brainwashing tactics of those so called racial sensitivety classes as developed by the likes of the worthless Jesse Jackson.

Seems clear by now that no one has ever heard the term "fell out" in a negative sense. I'm in the Eastern US and I've never heard it.

Tell the client that unless they can explain further, you don't see any need to reshoot at your expense. The fact that they won't even tell you why they object is extremely fishy to me. Could they be wanting that part reshot for another reason but are using this story to get you to eat the cost, instead of them?

I never heard of the term "fell out" as a racial slur.
Can you just dub the audio to remove that part? I'm sure it would be cheaper than reshooting.

Whoever said this is simply wrong, the term "fell out" has no racial connotation. They're simply wrong

well in the hood (yea yea) to fall out means to pass out with the connotation being heavily related to overdosing (on heroin).

On the other hand, it's a little awkward to say someone "fell out of consciousness" anyway. More common is just "lost" consciousness.

I guess my superiors were being racially insensitive every time they told us to "fall out" of formation in the army.

:confused:

Maybe if someone was walking around, and their KKK membership card FELL OUT of their pocket, that would be racist :D

Was the person who "fell out" a black guy named Tio?

Maybe they thought it was some sort of racist sexual innuendo-- Fell-out-tio
