What the hell is a "roastie?"

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.world 135 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (5 children)

I think it means an older woman, referring to her vagina resembling "roast beef", implying it and her to be undesirable.

Idk, something misogynistic

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 48 points 4 months ago

Correct. Jealous, resentful people making fun of other people for having sex. Tale as old as time.

Your comment is helpful and appropriate in context, yet it is difficult not to downvote it due to its content.

Downvote OP for posting misogynist shit and not the person pointing out out (on request, no less)

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

The op didn't make the original 4chan post, it's funny because actual OP is clearly an idiot, misogyny included.

Very much a "laughing at" not "laughing with" situation.

[–] Logh@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 months ago

I thought it meant that she was a roastie as in sizzling hot. Dunno, never grilled a woman before.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Seems more like a term to describe someone who roasts other people.

Which is exactly what happened in the text.

[–] badjan3t@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

I thought it meant she was working in a Starbucks or another coffee shop / diner that sells a lot of coffee. Roastie as in Roasted coffee beans.

I had an aunt named Virginia.

[–] Raab@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

I work with a girl named Virginia who is dating another coworker with the last name Richmond, and we are in Richmond, Virginia.

A woman who, from having multiple sexual partners, has her stuff look like roast beef. Another reply mentioned older women but it is used for any woman, really.

It's... yeah.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 5 points 4 months ago

Maybe a waitress managing her workload with lightly roasting the customers. With an experienced roastie that's actually funny and entertaining.

One of my favourite restaurants closed down over Covid. It had an awesome roastie from Berlin. I actually celebrated my wedding there. I miss him.
