Maybe you're trying to read too much into it.

Maybe.

I disagree.

By putting it in quotes he's almost anthropomorphising* the straps.

I think 'those straps between the legs' would have been better.

*I know this isn't the proper word for what he's doing but I can't remember it right now.

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".

The nudge and wink part is the "There is a certain part of a mans [sic] anatomy" not the "'between the legs' straps".

It was grammatically and syntactically correct in the original post to use quotation marks.

I quite agree.

[TheFaQQer]

I 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".

Had those straps cut hi balls off then I guess Branson would still find some reason to blame BA/Sky and go off crying to his mates in the government.

It needs quotes to ensure that the contents of the message is interpreted correctly.

If it just read "...crimped by those between the legs straps..." then the initial reading (until the whole sentence was complete) would infer incorrect and poor English - including the quotation marks makes the sentence more readable and easily understandable.

HTH

Can#t believe she's still single.

Yes. I keep telling her I'm already spoken for but she won't have it. Tsk.

Wait on.

[Clippy]

Oh yes.

But saw her on TV not too long ago and she is starting to show signs of aging.

Can#t believe she's still single.

The link on the right to Denise Van Outen was more interesting.....

He looks like a wax work dummy in the last photo.

Either that or his batteries have run out ala Westworld.

I despair of the angry mob I really do. Why does 'between the legs' need quotes? ******* idiot.

There is a certain part of a mans anatomy can get crimped by those 'between the legs' straps and it always produces that same grimace.
