    :huh

    I'm 36 and "pull some tail" seems like a really old-fashioned saying. It's like from the 1940s or 50s, at least, surely ....

    I was of the opposite opinion, that it sprang up in just the last generation. :conf

    I've literally only ever heard it used by people younger than myself (27).

    Particularly people trying to sound "hood" will talk about how much they pull. It's very much juvenile slang.

    Nah, it's old.
    I just double-checked in a dictionary of slang, and that dates it back to mid-60s, but it's probably a bit older because those things go on when it started to appear in print. On the street it probably goes back to at least the 40s or 50s.
    It's the kind of expression I can imagine Frank Sinatra using in his heyday. :lol:

    If he is/was it was never open, like with Griffith. Some maintain that it's strictly rumor or inference based on his mannerisms. :conf

    Well if we are going by that i could have sworn that Lennox Lewis was :gayfight. But i think hes married to some model chick and has kids now. I still think hes a closet homo.

    Throw Herol Graham, Mike Tyson, Chris Eubank into the homo heap too, if we're going on mannerisms.

    Nobody can know the answer for sure.
    But I'd guess Muhammad Ali for pure numbers.

    I've heard he wasted his obvious talents too much and often the quality was atrocious.
    On the other hand, on sheer weight of numbers he must have dicked loads of top-drawer honeys.
