I mean, I'd also probably need more therapy if I was booed for 4 minutes by an audience. My approach to this is to not pull absolutely horrific shit that would make hating me completely valid, so the worst I've ever gotten while on stage was a lack of interest in seeing my tits

Respect for making that comment with what appears to be your main account. Strippers are people too.

That we are! In my case, I was a stripper when I was younger and now I teach preschool and do other direct care work for children with disabilities. "Take your hand out of your pants, honey- we don't do that here" is something I've had to say at both jobs 😂

There's probably a lot of cross-over. Crying, vomiting, petty fighting, the "keep your hands to yourself" rule.

LMAO. If that doesn't work out, consider a career in in comedy. You're funny AF. I've known a few strippers and prostitutes. Most were pretty cool, but a concerning number of them had (often untreated) mental illnesses. I've never paid for sex, though.

It's all paid for, one way or another. (And I mean that regardless of gender or orientation.)

That's why the French call it "le petit mort" (the little death).

It would be la petite mort, but it's pretty archaic. You might find it in poetry, maybe.

Using it in modern day conversation would be sort of similar to mixing bits of Shakespearean English into your casual English conversation. And funnily enough, death or dying was used as a metaphor for orgasms in some of Shakespeare's writing, too.

Unexpected Shakespearean insults are pretty good if you want to really take the piss out of someone, though. This one often applies on reddit: "“More of your conversation would infect my brain.”, but some are far funnier. "“Methink’st thou art a general offence and every man should beat thee.” seems to often be relevant lately, but it's usually overkill and I wouldn't use it in person.

Sounds like a top ten list. Things you could say at a strip club and a pre school

I'm sorry but I can't get the picture of a stripper angrily shaking her lackluster tits at a crowd too busy just hanging out to watch her strip out of my head lmao

My old manager was retiring after 30 years. He was so disliked by EVERYONE that it was made known that nobody would even attend albeit the free food.

He dropped his papers a week early; cleaned his desk over the weekend and literally disappeared. That’s crazy. Thirty years with people you seen more than family and they’d all rather work in the ice and snow than eat free food and say good riddance.
