Word of the Day > Word of the Day: Sausagefest

Sausagefest - A bunch of guys. Etymology: perverted.

I had heard Jay's college-age younger brother use the word (as in, "man that place was a total sausagefest, let's go somewhere else"). Then Jacqueline Passey used it the other day in Being a girl at a poker tournament is even better than being a girl at a science fiction convention:

Although I have somewhat above-average looks and try to dress sexy this is still WAY more attention than I'm warranted. So I can only conclude that it's because this tournament is a total sausage-fest. Now, I have a lot of experience with sausage-fests from my years of attending science fiction conventions and activism with the Libertarian Party, but the guys at this tournament are different than the sci-fi and libertarian geeks.

Poker players seem to be a LOT more confident (cocky?) about approaching women. I wonder if it's because you need above average confidence to enter one of these tournaments, or if it develops as a result of making a lot more money than most of your peers, on your own terms and schedule? Either way, they are not shy!
