Tattoo and social class

I guess I'm lucky to work in businesses that generally don't give a rat's ass about such things. A few people work in sales, and they usually have to "clean up" to some degree, but I know more than one has plenty of tattoos under that three-piece. Our IT guy has his ears fully gauged and whatnot, but nobody cares, because he keeps the computer system running. You know - the reason we hired him.

When Patricia is right, call me and tell me to move - either the sky is falling or the gas from the nerve bomb is starting to create a beautiful delirium.

Conflict: 'gauged' or 'gouged'?

Could we be witnessing a social class clash? :)

The word is gouged.

It would be if he had his ears scooped or dug out. Instead, he had his ears pierced, and over the years, increased the size - or gauge - of the items he placed in his ear piercing. The term for this is "gauging".

But if you wish to call it something different, that's of course your right. That doesn't make the term correct. :)

Somehow I get the impression that men that get tattoos are from poor neighbourhood. If you look at young teens in poor area or in porn. Marines or prisoners or gang members get a lot of tattoos.

Do you agree? If it does, why advertize? I would rather hide my social class

poor?..... shame.....
 
People who care too much about social class are almost certainly boring.

Interesting.

Still, it seems to be a colloquial/slang use of the word. Can the proprieties - the 'who be right who be wrong' - of slang ever be argued seriously? I wonder.



Anyway, at what point, then, did the piercing(s) become 'fully' gauged?

Does this use of the term 'gauged' dictate a defined gauge, a limit, to determine 'fully'?

And, just to be clear, when you say 'three-piece', you're talking about clothing, right, not 'a three-piece and a biscuit' from a drive-through? :)
 
^ I said 'a colloquial/slang use of the word'.

Like 'text' is a word, but 'I'll text him' or 'he texted me' . . . ?
 
The idea that someone is inferior to you socially or intellectually just because they have tattoos is idiotic and incredibly small minded, neither of which are surprising traits for a person who actively concerns him or herself with the social status of other people to possess.

Fully gauged would usually refer to ears that are spaced to fit a double-zero gauge sized spacer, since it is the largest gauge of earring. Beyond that measurements are given by the diameter of the spacer. So 'fully-gauged' would be to have progressed through all gauges of earrings.
