It is a very nice chode.

Over here (Northern England) a 'choad' refers to a penis that is wider than it is long.

that's true in America too....choad definitely not the same as taint

Not strictly true. It's regional. I've lived places where it was as you say, causing great consternation when I, an individual of other extraction, procalaimed prius's definition.

We are discussing the etymology of the word "choad".

Achewood is truly a celebration of the English Language.

Or alternatively a bunch of people using a bunch of words I've honestly never heard used.

Rock on, Achewood reader-base.

Rock over TCP/IP, rock on XML

Microsoft: Where do you want to go today?

Microsoft (cont'd): Hell? Was it hell? Go to hell.

Where does that put Linux users?

...some kind of purgatory?


Tartarus

Gotta push that stone up that hill themselves. No fancy programs doin it all for them.

The Klingon Homeworld. They would like it there.

Strictly speaking, no etymology has been mentioned.

Wiktionary has it all derived from the Hindi chodna , "to fuck".
But wiktionary totally considers it a neologism.

No we're not; we're discussing the *definition* of "choad". The etymology is derived from the Hindi word "chodna", meaning "to fuck". I looked it up on Wiktionary.

Here, we call smegma, choad. or CHeese On A Dick

That's quite obviously 'knobcheese', or the time honoured Red Dwarfian 'smeg'.

Or of course 'cocksnot'. Damn I could do this all day.

Oh man, smegma is no doubt my least favorite word ever.

I've also seen it used a synonym for "semen".

i believe priuschaser was confusing "chode" with "gooch".

is a gooch a hairy arsehole? I always thought a gooch was a hairy crack.

I dunno, I'm in the central US and, as I remember from back in school, they taught me that choad means taint. I've always known a stumpy ol' dick as a "dodus."

I, too, am from the Central U.S. and I've never heard of a "dodus." I'm not doubting you. Just jealous that I never got to use it at a point in my life when it obviously would have been absolutely exhilarating. Anyway, the good folks at Urban Dictionary have information that will make all of us feel correct, even if that site is complete bullshit.

In my part of Canada, we say "Chud"
(Southern Ontario, aww yeah)

That is the saying over here in the Pacific Northwest as well.

In Australia too (Sydney at least)

Absolutely nothing personal but it's my duty as a person form Melbourne to lame the two comments above.

For the greater good

Well it's my duty as a Sydneysider to inform you that your music scene is incredibly pretentious .

That's because we're better than you.

The "Melbourne Shuffle" fucking ROCKS!

Shame you need to cover the dance-floor with talcum powder to perform it...

BTW - the Sydney/Melbourne rivalry is a lot like the Australia/New Zealand rivalry.

Melbournites often HATE Sydney.

Sydneysiders often forget Melbourne is there.

It is lame to say that shuffling rocks. It is lame to say that. And yet...

As an American, is my duty to inform you that as far as we are concerned, the entirety of Australia consists of four things:

--Scary/Funny looking animals
--That one opera house (the more well-educated are aware that it's the Sydney Opera House but may or may not know that Sydney is a place and not a person)
--Foster's (the mention of which anywhere in the US is inevitably followed by someone saying "Australian for Beer" in a terrible Australian accent)
--Men in silly hats who wrestle crocodiles, say "mate" a lot, don't understand modern conveniences, and carry comically large knives.

Alternatively, this post can be summed up as:
"New South Wales? That's in England right?"

If penises exist that are wider than they are long, why is there no porn of it?

there is.

In Japan.

I'm not joking, you ever watch Japanese porn?

It isn't that it's that wide, it's that it's that short.

God that sentence looks awkward and yet it is grammatically correct.

IT'S

C'mon now, a Choad is the part that lives 'tween the cheeks and the boys. A place that 'tis neither a-hole 'nor balls. And I'll have you know Beef has more talent in his Chode than you have in your entire body!

True--but it seems various regional dialects have different word for that part. In St. Louis, for example, it is referred to as the "grundle."

I have a pair of Nike Air Choad.

it says so on the box.

except for when they are

when is a chode not a chode

why is a chode?

How much chode can a chodechode chode if a chode chode could chode chode.

When it's ajar?

No, wait...

No, that's correct. It would then no longer be a chode.

This comic made me actually laugh out loud when I first read it. hell decrepit styles.

I was peeking Achewood just before our board meeting started when I hit this strip. What do you say to a crotchity old VC dude when he asks what you're laughing at? You have to show him the wang.
Sadly he didn't get it. Went on to be a rough meeting. Rough, but worth it.

Yeah, I hear the Viet Cong frikkin HATE penis jokes.

Roast Beef is the ultimate hard luck story that (eventually) turned out (sort of) OK. He is my favorite character.

One of my favorites.

Just what is that design on the bottom of ray's skateboard? An arm coming out of a target? If so does that have any meaning?

I think it's Onstad's subconscious homage to old school skateboards , right there with Ray's tortoise shell Vuarnets.

i had this same board in the early 90's. i think it was a jeff grosso SCS board, but my memory is hell of decrepit. i love that onstad remembers it, noseguard and all.

it's actually a rob roskopp; check my remark below. (^ ^,)

ray's board is an old-skool Rob Roskopp version I (far left), produced by Santa Cruz in the early 80's (which Rob is now the owner of).

i had a Rob Roskopp version III myself, complete with all the guards and rails that ray's has. a friend of mine cold broke the sucker in half after a particularly adventurous ollie in 1987.

memories of skating , indeed.

Good call. I think my friend had this board, and it would've been in 87/88, yes. And my favorite accessory inclusion is the very short lived phenomenon tail rails...I didn't even notice them until now. OH MY GOD and the truck protector. And the two different wheel colors. This is so 88 it makes me cry.

"truck protector" was called a "Birdy" where i'm from.

Yes, thank you. Unfortunately, unlike Beef, all my old Thrashers and Transworld's were dumped over a decade ago. It took me a few minutes to remember if they were even called "tail rails." I'm still not sure that's right.

This series of comments has actually convinced me that I need to get a subscription to Thrasher for my college dorm next year. The gear has changed, but that magazine is why I lived past age 12. I NEED TO FIND OUT ABOUT NEW HARDCORE BANDS. I NEED TO KNOW THE NEW ANTI-HERO AMS. I NEED TO READ ABOUT ED TEMPLETON'S LATEST CONCUSSION.

i'm sure there's some of you out there who can relate.

Ed Templeton is still around?

and roast beef is surely utilizing one of those little platforms with casters of them that people use to work on cars.

jesus christ it is amazing that you know that and that is was useful here and i'm serious that is a wonderful thing.

That's a first-graphic Rob Roskopp board on Santa Cruz from the early 80's. Sweet. https://www.skateandannoy.com/features/ebay/2006/ebay044/

I disagree, the catcock is such a brilliant feature of this strip. I don't know why, but seeing that wang cracks me up every time.

You can't really disagree with that, no matter what you say he will not like the catcock strips.

However I like them also Sredni, I am just at work.

Woulda been better if it was Rock Hard?

Sorry, had to lame.
Cos you disgust me something horrible.

Board out with your cord out!

gives a whole new meaning to "grip it n rip it."

and that is why short shorts and skateboarding became banned in public places.

poor roast beef just cannot catch a break

If I skateboarded as a child this would exactly happen to me.

I wonder why this isn't rated higher, being one of the only comics that actually makes me laugh out loud each time after dozens of readings.

beef's board is a 2x4 with a smaller piece of wood nailed to it. hell of decrepit.

it looks like the board that M.J. Fox makes from the 50's kid's skooter in Back to the Future.

anyone that votes a strip less than 4, is in my eyes the equivilent of a murderer.

Like Nice Pete? In that they weed out the less fit of the species?

I think I had that same conversation about OUI when I was a kid. Those were good.

The original alt text for this was "Like it or not, you like it." but then Onstad changed it to merely "." for some reason.

It's now the title.

Poor Beef with his dick all hanging out.

man i don't wanna look at even my own muchless a cartoon cat's

on first reading this post I thought you said "man I don't wanna look at my own munchables", which was funny all by itself.

That is a brilliant new euphemism.

You're afraid of your own wing-dang-doodle? That's rough, man. What happened to you as a kid?

Show us on the doll where he touched you!

No one should be a cock to their own dick. Ever!

hey beef, your peppers fell out! HOW COME?

This is one of the ones where the alt text being just a punctuation symbol (in this case, a single period) really works well. I mean, it really is case closed once his dong rattles out of his shorts.

And then once your dong rattles out, you can't fix it or you risk losing your balance and taking a header (pun intended) down the stairs and end up unconscious with your hand on your wang in a public place.

One of my all-time favorites. So hilarious and yet so sad and awkward and characteristically perfect for Roast Beef.

this is all types of awesome

That's the same sound mine makes. Beef truly is a man of the working class.

No one else noticed that Beefs' skateboard is nailed together?

wow
i somehow didn't laugh the first time i saw this
exactly the opposite the second time around

And poor Carl's now neutered. Life is never neat; life is always bad.

Why does this make me feel so uncomfortable? Methinks it is the wiggles.

This happened to me, but during stretching in soccer while wearing short shorts.

Man. Things ain't never the same after you've seen a dude's junk.

Why oh why didn't you be wearing your briefs, Beef? that's not cool

Ray weighs in on the meaning of "chode." (the second letter from the top)

rattle rattle Rattle Rattle Rattle RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE *penis*

Is there any achewood character that doesnt get their dong out at some point?

Onstad.

In a metaphorical sense, yes.

Molly.

When did Beef become a nudist?

I didn't want to think about it, but it occurred to me anyway.

Wouldn't it be peeking out in the other direction?

cocks go where their muse takes them; they obey not your... rules .

I gamble, and I lose.

This is killing me. Growing up I remember seeing the logo on Ray's shirt everywhere, but I can't remember what it was from. Anyone?

so much 80's in this .. again the R usty Preisendorfer shirt.. nice. hella saw skaters wearing that.. skaters that never surfed.

and the Santa Cruz 'Rob Roskop' model skateboard with copius amounts of plastic screwed on. insane. i had that board. LOL.

Pat! My pebbles are hanging out everywhere!

oh man that is mega nasty

that is dog shit

Holy crap, I loled.

Beef is a Dead Kennedys fan.

Ugh.

ya'll are starin so hard at that junk you don't even notice how fucking dope the fourth panel is

as far as i know, chode is slang for scrotum and everything else is self-explanatory. if it'aint your hoo and it'aint your ha, then its your taint.

This strip was on my room door almost an entire school year.

cats dont wear underwear, but they wear shorts/pants..... wtf?!
