I ask because my english doesn't include whatever these Guy says but... Is it alcohol apology?

[–] rudyharrelson@lemmy.radio 30 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I assume you mean "analogy" instead of "apology".

The "THE_PACK" community is a parody of US biker (motorcycle) culture, where many men refer to their motorcycle as their "hog".

"Hog" is also a slang term for a man's penis.

"Cranking my hog" is slang for male masturbation. I think it's also used to refer to revving up one's motorcycle in the biker community, but I'm not 100% sure of that (my old man was a biker so I am loosely familiar with some of their slang).

They intentionally misspell "hog" as "hawg" for fun. So it's just a bunch of guys standing around jokingly referencing masturbation under the guise of talking about riding their motorcycles.

Fortunatly not the most useful kind of english. But today I'm a bit more educated.

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's EXTREMELY useful English! Now if someone mentions cranking one's hog, you don't accidentally start discussing masturbation in great detail

For this kind of query, consult the Urban Dictionary.

If you want to really dig into the theme, you could use Know Your Meme

I think it's also used to refer to revving up one's motorcycle

Specifically a hog is a Harley (or really any touring bike now), large, slow turning, and they start with H, and yeah you could call racing the engine (the vroom vroom throttle thing) cranking, though that's more of an action on older motorcycles you'd do to actually start the thing

The term from male masturbation actually comes from crank-start engines

To add, it's an extremely uplifting and wholesome community.

I've regularly tuned in when I'm feeling down and am moved by the support everyone shows

[–] Willy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

its motorcycles or masturbation buts its vague enough to be funny in its crude absurdity.

I'm trying to figure out what you mean by alcohol apology. Are you talking about drinking too much and getting a hangover the next morning?

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Idk my self. I really cannot figuring out what these people are cheering for. (They are cheering? Right?)

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

"Cranking your hog" could be used as euphemism for male masturbation, but the "joke" is that it's probably the most ridiculous way you could refer to jerking off.

It also could be used to mean cranking the throttle on a motorcycle.

So THE PACK (the "wolf" pack) is kind of a mix of taking the piss out of: edgy/hardcore biker t-shirts/culture, ridiculously over the top support groups, occasional "wife bad" boomer humor, and the fact that a lot of "strong male" branded stuff is just a hair away from being extremely homoerotic. They're also legitimately just a fun group of general positive supportive posters.

I DON'T MIND DOING THE DISHES BUT I'D RATHER BE CRANKIN MY HOG WITH MY BROS

Thanks for clearing this up. I definitely not understood what they were saying.
