This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What the hell is a "roastie?"

[–] [email protected] 133 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

I think it means an older woman, referring to her vagina resembling "roast beef", implying it and her to be undesirable.

Idk, something misogynistic

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 year ago

Correct. Jealous, resentful people making fun of other people for having sex. Tale as old as time.

Your comment is helpful and appropriate in context, yet it is difficult not to downvote it due to its content.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Downvote OP for posting misogynist shit and not the person pointing out out (on request, no less)

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The op didn't make the original 4chan post, it's funny because actual OP is clearly an idiot, misogyny included.

Very much a "laughing at" not "laughing with" situation.

Idk, I think there's enough internet funnies that don't contain slurs

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe block greentext, rather then asserting your worldview on everyone else. I personally find idiots doing or saying idiotic things humorous because it shows that they're idiots for all to see.

If we're policing all speech, that's not going to end well for anyone as someone will ALWAYS find a way to have their feelings hurt by something someone else said.

I thought it meant that she was a roastie as in sizzling hot. Dunno, never grilled a woman before.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seems more like a term to describe someone who roasts other people.

Which is exactly what happened in the text.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I thought it meant she was working in a Starbucks or another coffee shop / diner that sells a lot of coffee. Roastie as in Roasted coffee beans.

I had an aunt named Virginia.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I work with a girl named Virginia who is dating another coworker with the last name Richmond, and we are in Richmond, Virginia.

A woman who, from having multiple sexual partners, has her stuff look like roast beef. Another reply mentioned older women but it is used for any woman, really.

It's... yeah.

Maybe a waitress managing her workload with lightly roasting the customers. With an experienced roastie that's actually funny and entertaining.

One of my favourite restaurants closed down over Covid. It had an awesome roastie from Berlin. I actually celebrated my wedding there. I miss him.
