The hottest topic in town: Menopausal Hottiesā¦
To squdgeā or ānot to squdgeā? That is the questionā¦BUT what is the answer?
Thoā just to back up a little, and in case you didnāt get the memo from this monthās Front Page, what on earth is a āsqudgeā? Well, according to Peter Pan-mad Emma, itās a word she first encountered in the film Hook, and it means: āa cuddly combination of a squeeze and a hugā.
With those essential formalities and introductions out of the way, let us continueā¦
The best advice we can give to anyone about to squdge a peri/menopausal woman is, if you donāt want the bollocking of your life and/or end up in A&E, make sure you (risk) assess the situation properly!
Squdging advice for loved ones:
Approaching a āhottieā rather has a similar potential of being in the vicinity of a bin collection lorry, which alerts its intentions to reverse to all and sundry by emitting a loud noise to stand well clear.
To put this into āhottieā terms, itās telling you, in a polite way, to proceed with caution or stay out of the f*cking way!
Outcomes include – being knocked over and/or needing medical assistance!
Now apply this valuable information to the hottie in your life and hopefully, all will end well. Apologies in advance if it goes t*ts up, but hey ho, itās not rocket science and no two hotties EVER react the same way!
Before leaning in for a squdge, ALWAYS ask yourself these questionsā¦
Is your hottie:
- Happy?
Yes = proceed with caution
No = proceed with caution
- Contemplative?
Yes = proceed with caution
No = proceed with caution
- Agitated?
Yes = back the f*ck away
No = proceed with caution
- Upset?
Yes = proceed with caution
No = proceed with caution
- Angry?
Yes = back the f*ck away
No = proceed with caution
Hopefully, you are starting to get the picture⦠ALWAYS PROCEED WITH CAUTIONā¦however, if you are in any doubt⦠back the f*ck away!
A āhappy hottieā could be very welcoming of a squdge. It is good to be squdged, however, ALWAYS ASK FIRST, because you could be dealing with a āflashing hottieā! Or a hottie who is averse to having their personal space intruded upon.
A āflashing hottieā can be very unpredictable, so check to ensure they arenāt flashing. This can be very easy to gauge. If they are in a frantic state of undress and the layers are flying off then one can assume they are in the midst of a hot flash, meaning they are pretty hot and bothered; so the very LAST thing they need on top of that infernal inferno, is you transferring your entire body heat onto an already boiling pot – this runs the HUGE risk of the pot boiling over and potentially erupting!
A ācontemplative hottieā could go either way as you have absolutely no idea what is going on in her head, so unless you have stellar mind-reading skills, our crystal ball says itās best to deploy your diplomacy skills and PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION!
An āagitated hottieā requires a more intelligent approach or the cowardās way out! Send a text message and await the answer. If the reply is cordial – proceed with caution, but if it contains foul language or rude emojis – back the f*ck away!
The āupset hottieā requires the most delicate approach of all. Approach slowly, make no sudden movements, and above all else, donāt make any ridiculous comments! Be kind, be patient, be helpful, and be understanding. If your hottie answers that sheās āfineā, this is your cue to back the f*ck away!
And finally, if youāre daft and reckless enough to approach an āangry hottieā, then on your own head be it.
There is no predicting how an angry hottie will react, so to clarify for all the numpties⦠if in doubtā¦back the f*ck away until your āangry hottieā isnāt angry – and then you can proceed with caution!
Donāt say you havenāt been warned!
To squdge or not to squdge?
Hopefully now you are that little bit more educated, so keep calm and follow the squdge protocol! Ignore it at your peril!!
