Sorry that happened to you 

Oh! Hey! You spoke to... Um... Shit! Kaitlin's gay friend!
Hym "That's what I said to him when he said he got raped in prison. 'Sorry that happened to you.' Now, before you get man ladies, that's probably what I would say to you if you confessed to getting raped to me. Seems like the natural response. What was his name? 🤔 I don't remember. Did he tell you he tried to molest me, slapped me in the dick, and then threw up on the couch and blamed it on me? Gay dude love me, what can I said. They aren't selecting based on fat-cock so they are usually down to bang. Not gay though, so, I'm not really getting a lot of mileage out of it."

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
