Tramp Stamp

Where did the term "tramp stamp" come from?

Good question. And one, unfortunately, I don't have an answer to. I'd
guess, however, that it was coined by a

a) tattoo artist in jest
b) person using it as a pejorative for a lower back tattoo based more
than likely on jealousy
c) someone neither joking nor jabbing, but who was suddenly struck by
the rhyme
d) other

(Googles)

Ahhhh! Of course. The d) option above might be the best choice of what
I presented. Duh! The origin probably stems without connection to
tattoos at all.

"Tramp stamp to me and my friends was a hickey." That quote from a
poster @ http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...7111451AAZQf9m

And search string 'origin of tramp stamp' offered up a variety of
links, of course:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...oogle+S earch

Again, good question.

You're very welcome, Soprano.

Hey, I mentioned elsewhere in this newsgroup, somethingsomething, "You
really can make money is such a wide variety of ways," but what I
meant to type was IN such a wide variety of ways. Duh.

Regardless of my typo, you certainly can make a living from art.

I'm an art teacher by profession. I've also earned paychecks as a
caricature artist for a local agency that hired out face painters,
magicians, cartoonists, etc. There have been proms and post proms as
well where I'd do caricatures of the students - parents would pay me a
fixed hourly rate and then I'd draw caricatures for a set number of
hours. How else have I earned money from art? Hmmm. I've painted at
least one sign on the wall for a local locksmith. That was about 20
years ago and it's been painted over since, but, hey, it was some
bucks. I also taught watercolor and drawing at the local arts learning
center. I've always made money from art in some way.

Anyway, congratulations to you on becoming a professional artist. A
passion for art is something you can always pursue whether you make
money from it or not.

Wow you are a real sweetheart. I used to teach art to kids. Where did
you come from? You are a real gem. I don't understand why you get
criticized.

Maybe it's all the dope you smoked with your ex-husband?

You've never smoked marijuana, Kavin? And, I'll assume you've never
been married.

Hey, nothing wrong with not having been married. Btdt, on the non-
married front. Engaged three times, but never the entire way down the
aisle. Might be for the best. Anyway, imo, your typical cursory
snooping is idiotic at best.

And if you know what I'm talking about, that means you did what? Are
you saying you do non-cursory snooping? Or are you admitting you went
back in her posts to see what I was talking about. I'd guess the
latter.

And why the need to further snip her post?

Is there any rhyme or reason to your ">kt> >" stuff? I mean, sometimes
there and sometimes not. Don't you tout yourself as mister
consistency? Rhetorical.

i KNOW you're something of a hot mess.

Duh. Maybe read your post? Oh, specifically the part where you wrote,
"Maybe it's all the dope you smoked with your ex-husband?"

You might be right or you might be making it all up. Regardless, it's
petty of you.

> Are you saying you do non-cursory snooping?

It seems as if all manner of snooping is your department.

> Or are you admitting

You're all about the "admitting," aren't you? You get a lot of guilt
trip action laid on you? Again, rhetorical.

> you went back in her posts

Your remarks didn't pique that kind of curiosity. Saying your behavior
is idiotic was enough.

> to see what I was talking about.

Like I said, I suspect you have no clue what you're talking about.

> I'd guess the latter.

You would.

> And why the need

Choice.

> to further snip her post?

It's called judicious snipping. Anyone interested in reading more can
review the thread at their leisure.

Not when she posted it on Usenet.

And petty is your middle name, else you wouldn't have your underoos
all in a bunch over the <kt> thing.

Actually, anything you write about me is petty. In fact, so much so,
I'm going to start referring to you as Kyle.

Good grief, Kavin. Anything posted on Usenet is automatically the
truth?

Lemme try that out:

I'm currently dating Kim Basinger. I can bench press 600 pounds and
for fun, I ride my custom chopper by Dave Perewitz.

Izzat a lie? Naaaah.

Not when I posted it on Usenet.

People post all kinds of comments on Usenet. Doesn't mean any of it is
true.

heh :o)

Underoos in a bunch, eh? Wish I'da thought of that.

> over the <kt> thing.

Just an observation to note your inconsistency. No biggie.

> Actually, anything you write about me is petty.

Perhaps.

(Googles)

pet·ty (p t' ) pronunciation
adj., -ti·er, -ti·est.

2. Marked by narrowness of mind, ideas, or views.

Hmm. My "perhaps" response, however, would indicate an openness of
mind, imo. Ymmv, of course.

> In fact, so much so, I'm going to start referring to you as Kyle.

Cool. I think I'll call you Boo-Boo.

Nicknames are FUN!

Oh, okay. This is fun. So Soprano doesn't like you.

Fine.

But Curt, I'd say if someone posts something more than a few times
(which Atlanta did concerning her smoking of marijuana) that is at
least the truth they want you to believe.

That boner must be hurting you something fierce.

Ah, you see the light. Agreeing with me just makes things easier!

Of course! Why else would you participate in these tete-a-tetes? For
the sheer fun of it!

Tut tut, Kavvy. You expect consistency when you're inconsistent
yourself? How fair is that? ;o)

Well, after you, naturally.

That's of no consequence, Kavin. You, however, pointing out that
someone smokes marijuana IS of some interest.

> That boner must be hurting you something fierce.

Thank you, Boo-Boo. Your concern has been duly noted.

Curt James likes to eat poop. He eluded to as much in a post on an
old forum on IAM about golden showers, something about asking if
anyone would mind a post about poop. When his post was quoted here
he deleted it a little too quickly and wigged out.

I just thought id add that in there. There's of course nothing wrong
with the enjoyment of eating poop, and if I were Curt, I'd get some
help about my internal struggle about my sexuality.
