From A Guy’s Perspective: Male Terminology [Pt. 1]

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Iowa chapter.

Males don’t like things that are too complex and this goes for anything. A girl asked me a couple of days ago what the term cock blocked meant. I thought that was pretty funny and decided to elaborate about some common male terminology.


Cock Blocked
When a male/female interrupts a male from further engaging in any activities with another person who is also interested in them.

Wing Man A male who accompanies another male with the same common goals of meeting a girl, the wings man’s goal is to follow the other male or lead man’s lead. This term came from popular MTV sitcom Jersey Shore.

Grenade used to describe a girl with bad facial features. This term also came from Jersey Shore as well.

Butter face   When describing a girl/guy the only negative feature is their face.

Walk of Shame Waking across campus in the same clothes as you wore last night after sleeping with someone you met at a party or downtown.

More to come….
