It means “you stink” but more from hormones than just dirt.

Yeah you know what else causes it? Not using soap and deodorant. We can blame hormones for almost anything in our body, but we don’t.
No one has ever said I can smell you because of your hormones. Yall need to start acting normal, this is exactly how we got to saying someone smells ripe and everyone’s like “that’s sexual”.

u/SpiderRadio 7h ago
... Sometimes it's the soap and deodorant mixing with your own chemistry, and it just doesn't sit well. I can't use certain perfumes because my own body creates a better mix with different types. Sometimes it's using the wrong soap and deodorant.
Obviously I understood what you meant, just dropping full info for the uninformed that may read further.

u/PalatwinkusVT 6h ago
Soap is the solution, hormones is the cause. Science isn't weird unless you make it weird. And yes, stinking from being out in the dirt all day definitely smells different from stinking because it's been 3 days since your last shower.

Brother, it's the fucking hormones that open up your apocrine glands to cause the sweat that antiperspirant combats or deodorant masks.
That's why young kids don't sweat and smell as much and don't need deodorant - they don't have the requisite hormone levels to open the apocrine floodgates.

u/Bunnnnii ☑️ Meme Thief 7h ago
It’s pretty common knowledge that kids going through puberty are more prone to smelling because of several changes their bodies are going through. Hormones are part of that.
I don’t know if this person’s brother falls in that bracket, but that’s my assumption.

That day when ya go to hug your sweet little boy and end up saying "whew, you need a shower!" Then ya notice that's not a dirt smudge on his upper lip and realize he should probably have a chat with his father soon.
After my boys grew up and moved out, I had to wash down the walls of their room three times to get that puberty stank off.

It's because it's typically referring to female adult on male child pedophilia. Men aren't taken as seriously as victims, so it gets memed a lot.

I have no interest in this content, but according to the agencies that use the terms, it does not apply to fictional content (not including content that depicts a real person, ex. a comic drawn of a real child) and using it for such actually makes it more difficult to identify and take down real csam.
Using correct terminology isn't a defense of uncomfortable or borderline illegal content, it protects very real victims from the watering down of what happened to them and ensures government entities receiving reports aren't wasting time on content they can do little about.
It is also not illegal as these laws do not apply to art, so sending links to them does unfortunately clog up avenues for reporting.

u/Dudewhocares3 7h ago
It’s not illegal yes.
Just like 100 years ago marital rape wasn’t federally illegal until 1993.
“It’s not illegal” is an excuse for the failure of the justice system
13
u/paranormalpvnk 6h ago
So, again, my point isn't justifying it, my point is that using incorrect terms makes actually doing anything about stuff more difficult. Getting reports for something that isn't illegal doesn't get it taken down, it means the csam of irl victims takes longer to be reviewed.
I am not defending this content. I do not like this content. However, the reality is that (at least in America,) using a term that does not apply to it and/or reporting it under that classification has only negative effects especially for real life victims, who I think should get priority over questionable depictions.

Ripe, musty, and boofin were def the three most common words used for someone smelling like BO. At least in my area during my upbringing.

In my experience, boofing meaning shoving drugs up the butt is a white people slang term lol.
In my city, boof meant a strong smell. Like weed that has a strong smell was "boofin" or "boof pack" but a person who was boofin had bad BO.
I learned the white people definition of "boofing" when I went off to college at a PWI. Not only did I learn the definition, I witnessed the practice in action irl 😭

That's how white people use the word in my experience haha. I learned that definition when I went off to college at a PWI. Growing up in DC tho I went to like 90% Black schools and boof meant a strong smell, for either a person or weed.
I'm not Black or white tho, I'm just a Latino dude who grew up as a minority in a majority Black environment so I'm on the sidelines for both white people and Black people slang lmao

Ripe is a specific kind of funk. "Its kinda ripe in here, you should open a window" was what id hear as a 10-12 year old after my buddies and I had spent the last hour or two pretending to be wcw/nwo stars in my bedroom or gamed for 4 hours straight. Its like....as thick and potent as its going to get before stale or rotten becomes the more accurate description.

In the most generous way to interpret the dumbasses, "ripe" is often a gross way to describe someone, especially women/girls, as young and in their sexual prime. They're crossing the streams of the colloquial usage of the word and coming out looking dumb and porn-brained.

To be wayyyy more fair than is warranted. You say a fruit is ripe when it's ready to be eaten. So if you only knew the word from that context, it could be possible.

I had people jump on my back like I’m bugging. Foh. Niggas are extra weird nowadays. Words are having their meanings changed because they’re used for more sexual contexts now. Every conversation has to have a sexual element brought into it.

I'm a middle aged white guy that grew up on a remote island in a racially homogeneous part of Canada. When I was a kid "ripe" was a nicer way of saying somebody stank. It has been used in that context since the 1700's across the English speaking West.

This is just linguistic drift. Over a span of time a word has one meaning for one generation falls out of use and another younger generation attempts to understand it based on the normal use of the word. I understand the use of saying someone smells ripe as a statement bad odor but if I didn't because it had fallen out of use by a generation can get someone hearing that and going "Well a ripe fruit is one that is at the point of maturity that it's ready to be plucked so this might be a sex thing?"
