Isn’t “coming from you” a put down? Or does it more mean “you care about fashion and looks, so obviously you know”?

“Being a lesbian sucks sometimes. You tell another girl she’s a hottie, and she says, “thanks” like we’re being friendly. I ain’t just being friendly, I’m trying to fuck!”
I think I translated it correctly.

It’s an amplifier. “You’re hot” makes it mean “someone as hot as you thinks I’m hot? Damn”, “you smell terrible” makes it mean “how the fuck do you of all people even notice my small with that rank odor”

“You’re hot”
Reminds me of that one scene in arcane
You’re hot, cupcake

It’s ambiguous, but the 👸 emoji solidifies it as a positive comment.

…And she says, “thanks” knowing I’m a lesbian and appreciate female beauty sexually taking the complement more intensely. I ain’t just being…

I think gays and straights have the same problem, though.

Where i come from a shag is a party
Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 9 months ago
That’s a shag, a noun. What about the verb, to shag?

where i come from it’s a carpet
or just particularly thick pubes

That’s how I read it too.
Also, this is how a girl politely turns you down. I take heart that lesbians are in the same boat as hetero guys when it comes to this struggle. I read this and think “oh, girls are bad at this too!”

Thanks for translating. As a non native English speaker I nearly got a stroke trying to understand these… words.

I got all of that except “shag ye x,” because it sounds like “shah (fuck) you x,” where “x” is the subject that is a bit vague. Like, “I’m trying to shag you, love?” or “Fuck your ex,” as in, the lady person you broke up with?

“x” is a kiss, used as an informal “yours truly” in British English digital correspondence
Zagorath@aussie.zone 9 months ago
I could be wrong, but I thought the x at the end was just a cutesy sign-off. Like “xoxo” type of thing.
ZeroTHM@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Pretty sure it’s the x in “xoxo”, the old convention for hugs and kisses.
