Ok, so I was thinking fucksocks was the coolest word ever.

I imagined them to be socks which one wears while engaging in sexual acts.

But then, to my horror, I realized that perhaps fucksocks=catchsocks.

Please explain.

I didn't know what "catch socks" were until five minutes ago. Oh, for those happy, halcyon days.

I think that says it all, really.

It all started here: Knee Socks.

Ok, so can we just change the definition so it's a little more sexy?

It's a great name for a cat.

fucksocks are socks that make you feel so sexy that you want to go fuck someone immediately!

Would be the coolest kitty ever, wouldn't it?

Wouldn't be so cool with the older luvvies in the neighbourhood, though: "Where the hell ARE you, F-socks? Got your catnip and daily kitty waiting!"

actually, ducks would wear quacksocks.

They certainly aren't cheap!

actually, fuck socks can be different than catch socks.

the rock & roll term for catch socks is "tour socks", apparently. I guess that each male band member keeps his under his seat in the van. Best not to get confused which one is which...

I THOUGHT GROUPIES WERE 'CATCH SOCKS' ? OR ARE GROUPIES NOT COOL ANYMORE?

*SO CONFUSED*

― Dean Gulberry (deangulberry), Thursday, 6 November 2003 20:38 (twenty-two years ago)

man, between "FuckSocks" and "pickled meats", we've had a fun little day so far, huh?

― Jay Dee Sah Mon (Kingfish), Thursday, 6 November 2003 20:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm squealing with joy.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 6 November 2003 20:47 (twenty-two years ago)

oh man now I know why bands always ask for so many socks on their riders!

― kephm, Thursday, 6 November 2003 20:49 (twenty-two years ago)

anyone who would watch a red sox game would definitely catch the red sox

how i first learnt of the term, in a piece entitled Catch Socks: The Vials Of Life , by Todd Levin:The catch sock is as American as, well, Don McLean. It is an untold tradition for suburban teenagers across this great nation. Catch socks are so pervasive that they even have different regional names. My friend, Randy, told me that sometimes catch socks are called, "sub socks", named so because men confined for long periods to the tight walls of submarines often used a standard government-issue sweatsock to store God's sticky elixir. And in Montclair, New Jersey, catch socks are ubiquitously known as "Tina Calbrese" (much to the chagrin of Tina's parents). No matter the name, no matter the vehicle (note to self: never buy "slightly used" socks and Kleenex® from the homeless again), catch socks are all about keeping it real - keeping it real hidden from your mom...
