Sahamamama Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I keep seeing "cupcake" around here lately. I have no idea what it means. :glare: :bigear: I know, I'm clueless. I try to read between the lines, but I'm not getting it from context. The urban/slang dictionaries online list so many meanings, I'm still torn between (a) pat on the behind, (b) fart thrown in someone's face, and © something I will not type out on any forum, much less this one. Well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsabelC Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Goodness gracious, and there I was thinking that you were all talking about the baked-snack-with-icing kind :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkacademy Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I thought it was from the thread about cupcakes and public school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athena1277 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I thought it had to do with the big thread where the op was mad about her sister (or sil?) bringing cupcakes to school when it's against the school's rules.:confused: I didn't read past the first few pages, but that was a pretty heated discussion. If it's not that, than I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cammie Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Yes, it is that thread that people are referring to!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassy Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I've been wondering too. I think we were away when it was all happening. I must say it does sound a much more wholesome obsession than kilts and Ryan Gosling. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not that, than I have no idea. Yes, that's the one... but then it got goofy and everyone was talking about being pro-cupcake (and kilts!) as a way to calm the situation. It was pretty fun to read, but it was a LOOONG thread full of silly fun and it was eventually locked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaxMom Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I've been wondering too. I think we were away when it was all happening. I must say it does sound a much more wholesome obsession than kilts and Ryan Gosling. :001_smile: Never fear, kilts and Ryan Gosling made appearances, though we could not come up with Ryan with a cupcake. That was sad. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I do feel bad for the original poster. She was angry and venting her frustration about her SIL and cupcakes but it turned pretty quickly. That's one of the downsides of the internet...sometimes you can't take back what you said.

Live2Ride Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 It involved an angry op who thought her SIL was awful for bringing birthday cupcakes to school that had a no treats policy. A kerfluffle ensued involving kilts, Ryan Gosling, goats allergies, parenting, and some discussion about the op and her beef with the SIL's behavior. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom in High Heels Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 And August 10th shall forever be known as Cupcake Kerfluffle Day! Cupcakes for everyone! Except those in public school. No cupcakes for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I consider it a metaphor for pro-joy vs. anti-joy forces. A cheer for the little celebrations in life. And for me personally, a remembrance of (wonderful) times past with people who have since died.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I think it's still there if you do a search. Definitely an important part of Hive lore. Should probably be required reading. But be careful what you say, because many cupcake-related threads after that got closed or deleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Yeah.

Sahamamama Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Oh, no, what have I started? :tongue_smilie: Seriously, we were... somewhere? I don't know -- probably VBS -- during that week, and I had no idea. Okay, now back to homeschooling the children.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
