Why does everyone make a big deal about plugs versus gauges?

Correct terminology or not, calling them “gauges” isn’t physically harming or mentally harming anyone. The people that call people “scene fa.g posers” for calling them “gauges” is mentally harming and quite ridiculous. Do most people call a belly button piercing a “navel piercing” like it’s correct terminology says so? No. Do people use bit.ch in it’s correct terminology? No. Gauge refers to the size, so “stretching my ears” versus “gauging my ears” is redundant because either way you are changing the SIZE of your ear lobe holes. The bullying that comes with it has GOT TO STOP because it’s so stupid. Everyone knows what you mean when you say gauge, plug or stretching on the other hand, no. Get over it. -_-

Answer #1

Well before you do something like that to your body, you should atleast know the terminology. Then if you know what everything is, I guess you have the right to call them gauges but you’ll look stupid. As far as bullying goes, that’s wrong & it shouldn’t even be associated with terminology. Bascically though, its like saying “I’m going to go get a windshield job ! “ when you mean boob job.

Answer #2

To me it’s more like sprinkles versus jimmies. It’s not like saying “I paint my hair pink” when it’s supposed to be “dye.” I’ve never heard of a boob job being called a windshield job, that is interesting. Even if they look stupid, it’s unnecessary to correct them because gauge is the common term. Yesterday I was talking about my plugs to my friend, and she had no idea what they were until I said gauges. It really shouldn’t matter because it’s so trivial.

Answer #3

I said windshield because it’s relevant to a car, as are gauges.

Answer #4

It may be common, like helix piercings being called “cartilage” piercings when in fact most of your ear is cartilage, but a lot of people who are knowledgable in the subject just get annoyed when you don’t call things by their actual names.

Answer #5

I do know that they get annoyed, but they don’t have call someone a fa.ggot for it, you know? And TwiddleMuffin I don’t think that makes sense because a windshield has no relevance to boobs. Gauges have more relevance to plugs and cars than cars do do getting a boob job.

Answer #6

I think you’re confused. People get so annoyed cause these are gauges; http://funadvice.com/r/164qh1s4av7 & this is a windsheild; http://funadvice.com/r/164qh1s4drd Cars have NOTHING to do with stretching or ears or getting implants. Thats why it’s annoying.
