The nudge and wink part is the "There is a certain part of a mans [sic] anatomy" not the "'between the legs' straps".Originally posted by Moscow Mule View PostI believe the poster of the comment is giving us a nudge and a wink.
He might as well have said "Those straps between the legs tend to cut your balls off".

I disagree.
By putting it in quotes he's almost anthropomorphising* the straps.
I think 'those straps between the legs' would have been better.

Perhaps it would have been better to phrase it that way, however, I still stand by my assertation that it was neither grammatically nor syntactically wrong to phrase it as he did, without inferring and "nudge and wink".Originally posted by Moscow Mule View PostI disagree.
