    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — I Need To Know


    BigBabyDirtFace — 9 years ago(February 06, 2017 01:59 PM)

    With the boards closing down, I was just going through my old posts to see what I was losing and found a question I'd asked on the "Roadracers" board back in 2015 that never got any replies. I'm still curious so I'll just copy/paste my original question here:
    Did Rodriguez invent "teabagging"?
    I'd never heard the term in this context until this movie. At the time, I thought it was just a joke Dude was telling Nixer. But throughout the years, the term has gained popularity. Wikipedia claims the 1998 John Waters film "Pecker" is responsible for popularizing the term. But obviously Roadracers came first, and being set in the 50s where I know it wasn't sexual slang, it appears Dude made it up to make Nixer laugh?
    Roadracers was a Robert Rodriguez film from 1994 which obviously pre-dates the Waters film Pecker by 4 years. Does anyone remember hearing the term "teabagging" pre-1994? I saw Roadracers in 1994 when it aired as part of a Showtime series of independent films and that was the first time I'd ever heard the term in that context. It's a pretty well known term now.

      Never heard of the term teabagging until around 2000ish.

        Roadracers definition of tea bagging makes more sense than peckers definition.
        from Roadracers. Nixer: Tea bag her? What's that?
        Dude: It's when you drop one of your nads in and out her mouth.
        From Pecker. Tina: No tea bagging. You know the rules. No balls on foreheads.
        Below is a link to my other unsolved threads.

          I never saw Pecker so I didn't even know that Waters was getting credit without even supplying the right definition.

              Interesting,
              another term that only made it into our language because of movies
              Like "Paparazzo" from Fellini's "8 1/2".
              More?

                TRIVIA DATABASE CORRECTION
                La dolce vita (1960)
                predates that and was the movie that made the term popularized.

                  Thanks!
                  Actually, I mixed the two up.
                  It's "La dolce vita" of course!
