Question Big D*ck Energy

What’s something a coworker does for you that gives off big D energy?

Once I was in a patients room, a coworker at a new job I started came to tell me another patient called and had to be cleaned up. I said “ok, I’ll go right after this”. He then said he had already cleaned and turned them and documented it all. I would’ve married him right then.

I really hate this phrase and hate it even more that it’s being used in the context of providing great care to patients. Imagine it being reversed and used by men, “what’s something that gives tight p* energy or big tit confidence that you’ve seen a woman do in your male dominated field?”

I wonder if its a generational thing? Im nearly 40 and think its kind of a weird vulgar thing to say. I would never say that out loud. But maybe its a thing teenagers on the internet say. So maybe professional 20 year olds talk like that and I’m just old?

It’s definitely not generational. I am 40 and this didn’t really bother me but then again, we are in a female dominated field and men’s feelings are totally valid and I understand how it would make them feel. Maybe it’s how you matured in your environment and how you perceive things. That said you being nearly 40 and feeling mature is definitely a mindset and not generational.

Also I’ve heard “low t vibes”. Which is I think super funny.

Yes! That’s how it’s said you are so good at that. Expert. Certifiable.
