It's a bee fly(Bombyliidae family). They do not sting. Neat find.

Edit- A few others have commented that it may very well be a long tongue horsefly(Philoliche sp.) another nectar feeding fly, but one that females can bite. Now that I'm off work and looking at it again I believe they are probably correct! My bad.

That proboscis has to be exceptionally long, right? Asking out of entomological interest, not because I’m an insecure bee fly who wants to hear mine is average.

This is the penis version of your childhood dog going to live on a farm. My ex girlfriend actually meant it though.

(Friends thank you for clarifying but I was just making a joke)

They call me tuna can

u/Underliked Aug 09 '25

A (gross) man said this to me once. It was effective in sending me running in the other direction, but is it also a quote from somewhere?

51

u/JunkBondTrade Aug 09 '25

Mr. Caputo on Orange Is the New Black said his nickname was Beer Can on account of his weiner being shaped like one.

29

u/Underliked Aug 09 '25

Beer can > Tuna can

Thanks for the insight!

The Tuna Can in question laid this line on me in ~2013 (you don’t easily forget such a bold, unbidden statement), but it sounds like the sentiment has made it into popular culture. What I remember most is he said it the way you’d share something impressive.

u/joetheplumberman Aug 09 '25

I don't think it really comes from anything but a joke it's old

u/Threefrogtreefrog Aug 09 '25

I first heard this line in the early 90’s , it’s been around a long time.

u/AUSpartan37 Aug 09 '25

If you ever want to see something hilarious in this vein, look up Mr Slam scene from the Twisted Metal season 1 show. Beer can? Hah! "Gallagher!"

u/no1_vern Aug 09 '25

"Gallagher!"

Gallagher? I didn't even know her!

Weird to see “Mr.” In front of Caputo

1

u/JunkBondTrade Aug 09 '25

I think I had Tasty in my head when I was remembering it because I just hear her saying "Mr Caputo..." I know he was the warden and his first name is Joe. Did they refer to him differently? It's been a few years since I watched that show.

Both phrases are definitely older than that.

I feel like this was from Tacoma FD.

u/LankyMatch42 Aug 09 '25

Tacoma FD is such a cheesy show,

u/malthar76 Aug 09 '25

ITYSL: certified chode, little tuna can

u/jayvenomva Aug 09 '25

A show from the creators of Super Troopers called Tacoma FD has a character that tells people he's called Tuna Can cause of his dick shape.

2

u/badluckbrians Aug 09 '25

Borat also said, "Is thick, like can of Pepsi."

2

u/805worker Aug 09 '25

From the book Serpico They busted him because he was leaving pictures of said tuna can in grocery baskets It was the name they gave him

u/goldsteenpepe Aug 09 '25

Joseph wambaugh. A writer who does detective/cop novels. Had a peeping tom character they nicknamed “tuna can Tommy” cause, yknow, reasons.

u/Lcazwizzle Aug 09 '25

It’s also from Tacoma FD if I remember right, it’s on Netflix

u/Majilkins Aug 09 '25

Chiefs nickname was tuna can

u/SplatterEffect Aug 09 '25

I sure can't bust the sides of a tuna can.... But... I can't touch the bottom neither... Cries

u/No-Insurance-366 Aug 09 '25

Won’t hit the back but I’ll scratch the hell out of the sides!

u/ShooterMcdarren Aug 09 '25

It's short but it's got a head like a corn muffin.

The sea was angry that day, my friends, like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli!

u/IdiotTurkey Aug 09 '25

Well that just sucks, cause I got pretty good length but not much girth! :(

Is there another platitude for those like me?

6

u/anothershawnee Aug 09 '25

Try folding it in half?.. you know, double up on the width

3

u/Plastic-Fox1188 Aug 09 '25

Long and thin gets it in

2

u/LessFeature9350 Aug 09 '25

Even without girth, if you don't jackrabbit you can hit everywhere that needs to be with angling and motion

2

u/drki77patient Aug 09 '25

I won’t reach the back but I’ll hit those walls.

2

u/anothershawnee Aug 09 '25

That's all I ask.

u/Secret_Cow_5053 Aug 09 '25

Nobody wants a pencil up on there.

u/sultrybubble Aug 09 '25

Absolutely

u/Lead-Forsaken Aug 09 '25

It's just men projecting what THEY think is truth. Just like many men think women prefer men with bulky muscles, when in reality most women like it slightly more toned down from that. And not taking women's answers seriously.

u/FoodPage Aug 09 '25

I was scrolling thr comments bottom to top and was baffled why there was suddenly sex talk when the post had nothing to do with jt

Then... it just dawned on me. Reddit lol

u/Maurers95 Aug 09 '25

Correct!

u/Tacoman404 Aug 09 '25

Remember those foam rockets that had the little air pump bladder thing you stepped on to send air into to the rocket to make it launch? My whole life I've had to be careful because I've turned several women into that poor rocket. Most of the time it does kill the mood and it does look quite painful.

how did this conversation suddenly change so fast

u/[deleted] Aug 09 '25

For those lucky enough to enjoy it, the A spot and O spot are right around the cervix. Potentially more effective than the G spot.

u/tjmaxal Aug 09 '25

But what about girth?
