While hanging out with a few guy friends last night, I learned a funny new expression to describe a girl. And by funny, I mean mildly offensive. Although, clearly there are far worse things you could say about a female's appearance.
In reference to a friend's new girlfriend, one guy explained she was cute, "but in basset hound and/or Maggie Gyllenhaal" sort of way.
"What's that?" I asked.
He explained it to me: "You know, she's cute, but in a funny-looking kind of way. Like you almost feel bad for her type of thing. Like a basset hound. Or Maggie Gyllenhaal."
This guy's insight, though, helps add another concrete example about the difference between Guy Hot and Girl Hot. I think Maggie is a pretty lady! Yes, she might not be in the Marisa Miller-bombshell sort of way, but she's attractive. She is not a dog... Although, I do loooove basset hounds. My mom even gave me a basset hound ornament for Christmas. But it's true, I do like them because I think they're hilarious-looking! Especially in costumes. I really need a skeptical-looking dog to come home to.
"Raaaaaaaachel. I'm huuuuuuuuuuungry."
ummm...Rach? Remember that time your friend at that Westlake party told me I reminded him of Maggie Gyllenhaal? What does that mean????
