English dictionary definition of "hobby"

An activity or interest pursued outside one's regular occupation and engaged in primarily for pleasure.

It wouldn't be my choice of turn of phrase, but still, pretty bang on

Words have denotations and connotations. They can also be manipulated.

My occupation does not specifically involve food. Most of the food I eat, it could be argued, is out of necessity. However, I eat a lot of oysters. I do so for pleasure, not out of necessity, as they are not a staple of my diet to sustain life. But to call my eating of oysters a "hobby" seems ridiculous. The word is typically used for things like woodworking, stamp collecting, and so on.

Yet, one could argue that it is my personal hobby. In the same way, one might argue that the OP's personal hobby is meeting "Thai or other oriental LBs who have small cocks" (I will resist the temptation to discuss the use of the term "oriental," which has its own problems). But he refers to it as "this hobby," not "my hobby" -- thus suggesting that the use of the term "hobby" to describe that activity is not his alone.

In any case, aussiepride, congratulations on your ability to read the dictionary.

Food eating is commonly listed as a hobby.
Perhaps you can find a group near you that you can join and share your love of oysters.

You say the word hobby is typically used for things like woodworking and stamp collecting? Perhaps collecting porn is a hobby for some, everyone is different...

As for your jibe about what dictionary he uses, perhaps it's not the urban, colloqual, or slang one that you seem to use.

As for finding a ts op, best bet is get to a gay or ts club and pull out your best moves.

My "jibe" was in jest, as is pretty clear. Your comment suggesting that I do not use a conventional dictionary is not (putting aside that it makes no sense in the context of what I wrote earlier). By the way, whichever one you use probably can tell you how to spell "colloquial."

[aussiepride]

A snide remark, taunt, crack, mocking (jibe) statement that you don't deny using that is also meant to be funny (jest)? Hmm. So no, it wasn't clear.

And please don't assume to know the intentions of my comments, unless you are absolutely sure.

And that long winded post about your like of oysters only proves that you have a somewhat different interpretation of the word "hobby", than what a normal person would interpret it to be.

I collect porn as my hobby, I collect, categorize and take pleasure from collecting ts porn. Fucking on the other other hand is all for pleasure. Unless you consider searching for and getting another notch on the belt a hobby.

An apologies if there are once again any spelling mistakes in this post. Typing on iPhones is not easy, especially when you are an idiot

Perhaps you should read it again. I did not call eating oysters my hobby.

Collecting and categorizing is, generally, a proper use of the word hobby. As you say, fucking is not.
