I don’t get it

All the time I see guys in my neigh­bor­hood walk­ing with their girl­friends and instead of hold­ing hands or hav­ing their arm around the girls waist or shoul­ders, they’re drag­ging this poor girl around by a ham­mer­lock, their arms around the girl’s neck.

WTF? Do some girls think that’s cool? If I were a girl and some guy did that to me, he’d get one warn­ing before I put him in the hospital.

Yuck.

    Not what I thought it was.

    A ham­mer­lock real­ly is “pulling an oppo­nen­t’s arm too high or pulling his arm away from his back.” It’s an ille­gal hold in wrestling. 

    OK, so that’s what i get for skip­ping wrestling class in junior high.

    Here’s what i meant to describe:

    Imag­ine your boyfriend is stand­ing next to you. Now he puts his arm around you and cups his hand on your shoul­der. Every­one in the room knows you’re togeth­er and it’s real sweet. Next, imag­ine he adopts a more casu­al stance and bends his elbow a bit more. Now he’s rest­ing his fore­arm on your shoul­der and his hand hangs down in front casu­al­ly. This is OK too.

    Next imag­ine he bends his elbow all the way around. Your neck is pinned between his bicep and his fore­arm and you can’t move. Every­body around knows that you belong to him and that he’s ready to snap your neck like a twig if you step out of line. He’ll smack you around ’til you’re black and blue all over, and tell you it’s because he loves you so much.

    You’ve just imag­ined the guys in my neigh­bor­hood. Charm­ing, eh?
