Originally introduced to the US in the 1800s as a way to prevent masturbation, bed wetting, and insanity, infant circumcision is a form of genital cutting that people still rationalize to this day. It is so embedded in our culture that people do it to their sons without giving it much thought.
It is often referred to as just a “little snip.” People who say this are either lying or have never actually seen a circumcision. Baby’s foreskins are fused to the head of their dick and during a circumcision, the doctor has to surgically rip the foreskin off from the head. It’s a graphic, bloody procedure. People like to take an “out of sight, out of mind” approach to it though and pretend that it’s something it’s not.

Get the circumgender mug.Typically instead of a standard burnout at a set of lights or a stop sign, or perhaps at an intersection in front of a small group of people, “circle work” is kept for such occasions when a large group of people is available to view the display. The vehicle owner doesn’t just do a burnout. They try to burn that clutch and tyre tread down as much as possible whilst slowly spinning the car in circles so they can still a) view the audience, and b) not choke to death on the clouds of rubber smoke being churned up from the tyres.
They have degenerated into muddy, rum-soaked, all-night drinking sessions, complete with circle work by hungover ute drivers the following morning.
