~A triple-dog dare~

This is another old one from my private page. I was not going to post it publicly because it's dumb, but I was tripledog-dared. And I rarely pass up a tripledog-dare. It's a wonder I haven't shot my eye out yet. I DID stick my tongue to the end of a frozen orange juice can when I was a kid once and got stuck though. It hurt, too.

I told at least three or four of ya'll something I wanted for Christmas, but I don't remember who. Since I can't remember who exactly I told and can't go back and say 'oops', I'm just going to tell all of ya'll in case there's someone besides me that doesn't already know about this. However, by the looks of my research, I think I MUST BE the only person that didn't know this.

I told my sister last night same thing I've told a few people. My sister has been TORTURING ME about what she got me for Christmas. And I have guessed EVERYTHING I can think of. I said 'Is it a banana hammock?"

My sister was like "WHAT???? You dummy! Do you even KNOW what a banana hammock is???" I said, 'Uh, Yeah. It's a hammock for your bananas. I've wanted one forever."

"OMG, Jayme." Then I could hear her calling her hubby away from the Bears/Packers showdown. "Bobbbb! Do you know what this fool just said she wants for Christmas? A banana hamock." I didn't see what was so funny. Bob was a chef and is all OCD about his kitchen so I figured he'd say "I'd like one of those, too." Instead, I heard him in the background say "Well, my Lord," and start laughing.

I googled and searched on my most favorite online dictionary, and I'm posting what I found.

First, though, this is the banana hammock I want:



Ain't it cute??? I want a real hammock, too, then I saw the following pic, and I wish my sofa was a hammock:



Anyhoo, I want a banana hammock because I never have anywhere to put my bananas, and they are my most favorite fruit.

And this is what I found along the lines of my sister's claims on my fav dictionary site:

~A man's speedo swimsuit.

"Look at all of the banana hammocks in Fort Lauderdale. "


~A men's style of undergarment that holds the genitalia in a sling-like hammock apparatus, allowing the ******* to protrude offensively. Favored by greasy Europeans at the beach, and even greasier weightlifters during competition and posedown sessions.

"When I was swimming at the Y the other day, this hairy Italian hedgehog was hanging out at the pool all day showing off his silky red banana hammock."

"Joe: This banana hammock's crushing my hardyboys. It's no mystery."

"This banana hammock is chafing my butt cheeks"

"I think I'll wear a banana hammock instead of boxers today."

"I have to lose the winter tire, so my banana hammock still fits."


~A phrase used between guys to tell one another to check out one girl or another
"Hey, Vince... banana hammock at 5 o'clock."

~An athletic supporter. A jock strap. Very common since at least the 1950s.

"What are you giving your husband for his birthday Jane?"
"I thought I'd get him a new banana hammock, Mavis."
