My husband Tomais steadfastly insists that he is not funny, but I disagree completely. No man has ever before consistently made me laugh so often and so much as he does.
A couple of nights ago, while we were talking on Skype as usual, Tomais suddenly mentioned the abbreviation VPL, don't ask me how and why because the conversation leading up to it has been wiped off my teflon-memory.

| Jon Hamm, The King of VPL |
My understanding and knowledge of the English language is quite good, even if I say so myself, but it is not my mother-tongue so there are still some unchartered areas that become apparent occasionally. VPL was one of those, I had never heard the expression before so I asked him what it meant.

"It means ´Visible Penis Line´", my darling told me with a serious voice, as I exploded with laughter.
Then as he continued telling me about the rules I almost croaked, "Underwear, bicycle pants or wet boxers don't count, because anyone can show a VPL in those outfits". (This means that my friend Kandinsky's favorite picture of a Polish bicycle team is out of the contest, see my previous post Re: Bicycle Pants.)

As far as I know there is no equivalent term for this phenomenon in the Swedish language, except possibly the Swedish words for "poseur", "indiscreet" or "show-off". That fact does however not mean that we haven't noticed the phenomenon before.

For those who want to see more VPL you should visit the Tumblr-blog "Visible Penis Line", although from what I could see at a quick glance most of the pictures posted seem to fall into the illegitimate category according to "Tomais Rule of VPL´s"

Oh yeah, Tom is right. I've seen the pics and John Hamm is a donkey in dress pants. I hear it's an open secret.
ReplyDeleteAnd Petr, he was the star of "Mad Men", a hugely popular show in the US for the last 7 years, lol.
Handsome James Franco famous in Hollywood for his massive size. Sean Penn reportedly was amazed when he caught a glimpse of it during the shooting of the movie "Milk". You can see it in his pants here - he accidentally posted a pic on Instagram last year that went viral. : http://gawker.com/is-this-james-francos-dick-or-what-1644857426
