“Dude, that party is going to be a total sausage fest.“
I hear this colloquialism quite a bit. Especially since I am single and hang out with a lot of single guys, this is quite possibly the number one complaint. And it isn’t limited to parties… concerts, clubs, church, funerals… everything. It isn’t that guys care about there being other guys around, in fact, most guys prefer a healthy number of dudes to hang with, as long as there is at least a 5:4 ratio. If there are 4 guys to every 5 girls, things are good. But is that a sausage fest?
Here is my problem with this saying. First of all, a sausage fest does not remind me of penises (peni). It reminds me of a greasy Sunday morning wake up call. It reminds me of a magical place where breakfast is served all day. A place where women serve sausage and beer for breakfast, and they are all dressed as St. Pauli Girl.
It reminds of Germany. Or at least what I imagine Germany is like.
Second of all, you shouldn’t go to a party to meet women. Women may be a byproduct of going to a party, but it shouldn’t be the main reason. Look up “Crass” in the dictionary, oaf. And look up “oaf” while you are at it.
So next time you need to think of a clever way to say, “There is going to be all dudes”…
Try saying, “There is going to be all guys there.”
Or, “I don’t believe there will be any women attending this event.”
“No females.” It doesn’t get much simpler.
But the next time you say, “That is going to be a sausage fest” Please call me.
Cause I want to go.
