Asking For It

The final frontier of denial, "asking for it" is a mentality people use to justify the world being less horrible than it is. Most commonly it is used to pretend that a rape victim 'subliminally' or 'subtly' gave consent, but it can also be used in context to say someone who leaves a quarter on the ground is just as guilty as the thief who steals it of the crime, having 'tempted' the criminal or perpetrator. In extremist cases, such as a few sects of Muslim religion, some women are forced to cover their hair to prevent 'tempting' men.

Pertaining to sex, it is statistically estimated that about 1/3 men buy in Britain conform to the "asking for it" mentality.

"Did you hear about Katie? I feel really sorry for her."
"Nah, man, she was asking for it."

ask

He will ask me what age I am.
I can ask her for coffee.

The goalkeeper comes for the ball: that's a good take.

ask

One of the thousands of search engines available in the United States but is nowhere near as cool as google or yahoo because it does not offer an add URL service for free, cheap asses.

Who the hell would use ask if they could just use google and rake in the dough for their business advertising on the best search engine anywhere?
