Grrl Power #1031 – Arm wrestlonyms
I went to look up a bunch of funny euphemisms for arm-wresting assuming there’d be a big list somewhere, but apparently it’s pretty much just called “arm wrestling.” It used to be called arm turning or wrist turning or wrist wrestling, but unlike sex, there aren’t a million funny names for it. Like the Alabama Pigroast. I’ll save you the trip to google, it’s when two guys are spit roasting a woman and arm-wrestle on her back. Probably not a term Max would use if she knew what it meant, and almost definitely just a thing someone made up because it sounds funny, and not something that actually happens so much that English demanded a term for it. It would hurt the woman’s back if nothing else. Also her head would get in the way of the guy trying to lean over it.
Come for the occasionally funny superheroine comic, stay for the overanalysis of stupid sex moves.
Tamer: Enhancer 2 – Progress Update: It’s done!
210K words of weapon building, dinosaur fighting, harem satisfying, lumberjacking, moderate diplomacing, bad guy chopping action. Also some humor.
New incentive is up! Dabbler decided to get out of the pool, in slow motion (see the bonus comic at Patreon), possibly with added “physics.”
Cue Mele Kalikimaka.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
SuperheroThey're super, thanks for asking!
Meatspace ComicSeriously these are awesome. Check 'em out!
Not UpdatingNo longer updating or only updates sporadically, but definitely worth reading.
SeriouslySeriously you guys. If you like Grrl Power the check these out.
"Mature"Mature subject matter and occasionally something explicit but usually safe. Can't guarantee the ads are safe though.
Dongs Ahoy!Full frontal and backal. Lots of skin, sex on some or all pages, explicit or otherwise.
I wonder what the win condition would be for the human forklift.
That crushing darkness of the soul when the woman of your dream evaporates with the mist in the morning. After monopolising him all night.
Win condition is getting to play the game in the first place. Whatever else happens is just fate.
I ‘m with Tahnru on this one
Simply surviving Snu-Snu?
Ah… the Basic 4 S’s of sex. The are a lot more S’s but that’s a higher tier course.
That sounds like a horrible position. And one that will give everyone a back ache.
Anvil! Now there’s a set of pelvis cracking thighs, for ya … skull cracking for that matter. Seriously, I’d be scared to death doing the Horizontal Bop with that woman. “OOOOOHHHH! Baby, that was a good one. Baby? Baby? Oh Hell, not again.”
The phrase for that is “Death by Snu Snu”.
(Thank you Futurama!)
Thank you for that gem!
There’s actually a TV where that happened and… yeah, it wasn’t pretty.
Are you thinking of that seen in the The Boys where Popclaw crushes the guy’s head?
Yes.
Such unusual posing. :)
She’s still insecure about the backs of her knees, from last episode. Now she’s getting opinions from other people.
… okay thank you. That actually puts everything in context and makes complete sense now. I can’t believe that went over my head.
Now the last panel is even more hilarious. :)
In the last panel, is she waving her hand because she’s losing her balance? or because she’s trying to get someone’s attention?
Yep, in the last panel it looks like she held that pose too long and lost her balance. I might also guess that the other person was trolling her by just looking at her leg and pretending to ponder and consider and evaluate, *until* she loses her balance and falls over.
Well spotted Guesticules, I hadn’t noticed that last-panel bit of business until you pointed it out.
This would have been more relevant last page, but it occurred to me that Dave may have modeled her off of Grace Jones. There was her semi super soldier bond movie character May Day, and the painted hair of her Zula character in the second Conan movie.
Just wondering what happened to the line of people waiting to arm wrestle Anvil in the last panel?
Do they slope off in disappointment once they heard them chatting about Forklift?
Anvil beat the last three in panel 2
Honestly it’s nice to see Max being a little relaxed instead of harass but loveable leader all the time. These moments are few and far between.
And note who she tends to be the most relaxed around?
Max has “let her hair down” more than once with Sydney as well Max is only pretending to be a super-serious colonel half the time you can’t claim to be a nerd and suddenly switch tracks like that keep in mind there’s a flashback of her doing a keg-stand with the guys in her unit. Not that it would be hard for her since she flies lol.
But not this relaxed
There is no way anyone hearing “cantaloupe smuggling convention” in the presence of Anvil’s skintight fitted shirt wouldn’t think that was referencing her chest.
My mind went so strongly there the rest of the synonyms made no sense to me.
Right. Thirded.
Doesn’t sound like a metaphor for arm wrestling in the slightest.
When I hear the term “iBanging” it sounds like a porn app for the iPhone.
You’re thinking of the iTit. “Because men were spending too much time staring and not listening.”
Well yeah. Let’s just say that the battery in the phone doesn’t last long because it makes heavy use of the vibrating function…
So does this work again?
No
It shouldn’t be possible that mine is the initial review of today’s installment.
Is Kenya conducting a survey of the supers at that base?
Nice back-of-the-knee inspection going on in the background.
If she can do that with non-stretch pants on the last thing she needs to worry about is the back of her knee’s lol. I had 2 inappropriate thoughts at seeing that and I’m an old man… no wait an “aging man” lol.
I think you mean that you are a “man with significant life experience.”
That alari looks like he’s trying to decide if he should do the “lick test” on it LOL
The mahogany forklift is about to experience death by snu snu.
He might actually be tough enough to be able to get breakfast tomorrow, even if is in an ICU.
Now, now, remember, her power is kinetic absorption and redistribution. Sure, she *could* break him with a massive kinetic dump when she reaches climax, but I sincerely doubt she *would*. She may *look* like a classic tank powerset, but she’s a *complicated* tank powerset.
The stronger he is the greater the threat she is thanks to her powers. The harder he pounds her the greater the power she can unleash on him.
Looks like Wing Girl just broke down and is asking if her knee backs are sexy or not ……….. althoe i think she is asking the wrogn guy …..
She’s asking a guy who thinks it’s normal to think that the backs of knees are sexy. Does that make him the right guy or the wrong guy to ask?
Now tell me that Deus uses power point and I will believe he is truly evil.
He does, but… not… well. He has… control problems. But if he had stuck to Lotus Freelance he’d have much more time to create, insted of look up “how-to’s” all the time.
Microsoft Rules AAAAAALLLLLLLL. Because we let it!
Didn’t we already have a comic showing him hilariously inept at MS Office products? With Vale saying she’s not a secretary.
I can’t find the page, but yes, Deus does use Power Point…he just isn’t very skileld at it.
If somebody else can find that page and link it here?
He does, but he’s bad at it

I remember when arm wrestling was called Indian wrestling, but I suppose that’s not a euphemism, and of course not PC.
That’s odd, when I was a kid (many moons ago), Indian Wrestling was something very different than arm wrestling.
What I grew up thinking was that the two competitors stand face-to face on a front-to-back line drawn on the ground, with the outsides of their right feet touching and grabbing each other’s right hand. First one to throw the other off balance and make them step off the line wins.
Yes Tahnru, what you just described was what we called “Indian wrestling” when I was a kid as well.
Kinda sounds like arm-wrestling, with extra steps (or, preferably, no extra steps as stepping is losing)
Or singular tug-a-war without a rope
In my day “Indian wrestling” was also called leg wrestling 2 guys would lay on the ground legs to each other then they would lock ankles and the loser was flipped around although I did lose a few times to an “accidental” crotch-shot lol
You might have found further synonyms in other languages.
For example in French we call it “bras de fer” (iron arm).
That may describe some of Anvil’s attire as well (Bras of Iron).
I never thought of Anvil as the spy-girl type, but she has a really good shot at getting some privileged information from Mr. Mahogany Forklift.
And that is of course what a spy would want you to think.
Kenya *is* a kinetic absorber…
I said that on the last comic but got shouted down that armwrestling didn’t count as it had no impact..
Obviously by those who never saw a table get smashed by the losers arm
It’s not impact, it’s speed. Sure there’s kinetic energy in arm wrestling because it involves motion, but what hits harder: A truck going 2 miles per hour or 60? She’s getting pretty much nothing from this. Besides, Anvil seems like a good sport and has the muscle to do this without powers.
Can’t wait to see what Deus’ presentation is…!
Okay… the lady with “Forklift” is flexible. I like.
Shouldn’t there be a truck or something for Mr. Forklift Guy to put that pallet in?
Just carrying it around doesn’t serve any purpose.
Depends on where he’s carrying it from, and where he’s carrying it to, and how much involves showing off to the hot Ebony Power Goddess
Which it seems to have worked lol
Tell me panel one wasn’t inspired by this scene :D
Urban dictionary is 75% made up terms for the crazy stuff in gonzo porn… that is what most folk hope at least.
Kenya looks so sweet in panel 4.
Ok. It’s official. His superhero name is Human Forklift. Even if it turns out to be something different, he will forever be Human Forklift to me now.
No, Mahogany Forklift
I love seeing Maxima’s friends poke holes in her attitudes. Yes, she’s got a power level like Superman. Yes, she’s extremely opinionated and very vocal about her opinions. But one of the things (not the only things, but certainly one of them) that keeps her from falling into “mary sue” territory is that she is not shown as being 100% in the right. She is not an author mouthpiece, she is not a vehicle for pushing a particular agenda. She is a complex and fleshed out character, who is just as prone to making mistakes (including being mistaken on her beliefs and worldviews) as anyone else.
So it’s really fun to see the second strongest woman on the team gently rebuke Maxima for her sexist attitude. “You’re being disrespectful towards guys who have done nothing to deserve it, and for the record I WANT their attention. Especially that guy. He’s been staring at me with obvious desire, and I happen to appreciate being looked at in that fashion.” (Remember, Anvil’s admitted to having her own body image issues)
There’s just one important question remaining for the Human Forklift. Is he taller than Anvil? Unfortunately the Cast page is playing up, so I can’t even check what target he’d be aiming at.
why no one mention Zangief : I relate to you, Ralph. When I hit bottom, I was crushing man’s skull like sparrow’s egg, between my thighs… and I think, why you have to be so bad, Zangief? Why can’t you be more like good guy? Then I have moment of clarity… if Zangief is good guy, who will crush man’s skull like sparrow’s eggs between thighs? And I say, Zangief you are bad guy, but this does not mean you are *bad* guy.
Did someone say Dominance and thinly veiled homo-eroticism?
Inconceivable!
Yeah, someone posted the clip earlier
Dabbler can 100% hear them, between her bigass ears and her porn sense
wait it’s what!?
that’s a thing?
oh dear…
also, Dabbler must be really entertained by this conversation, and the fact that Sydney is not understanding a thing.
I’m pretty sure Dabbler has an inkling of what’s going on over there.
She’s got big ears, intimate knowledge in every definition of the word, and her porno sense…
Believe it’s more the fact Sydney has never seen Maxi giggling like a schoolgirl
i love this side of Maxima. i mean i love all her sides (i mean that in every way that could mean) but i like seeing her like this for a change, teasing Kenya like its a school yard
A Twitch streaming D&D game I follow came up with the term “hand job” for arm wrestling. (Yep! Two PC’s with high strength and INT as a dump stat. The rest of the PC’s are going, “I don’t think that means what you think it means,” and the NPC’s are going ????
Well, I suppose you could call arm wrestling “freaking out a gorilla, but that’s only if you’ve read Schlock Mercenary, and considering half of Tagon’s Tough starts out as the kind of men Maxima highly disagrees with, she might not be a fan.
(SM strip date lines up with in-ARC-verse time, I checked. https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2010-02-25)
(You know inside the Arc-verse, Death Battle hasn’t premiered yet? I feel so, so sorry for everyone when it does. Sidney will have All The Opinions. At least off-screen.)
oh now there’s a meeting. ‘no you may not seek out the creators of death battle and invite them to fight you. you have to be…. ‘ Ariana starts to say.
‘the bigger boob?’ someone offers
‘since you going to imply sink to their level shouldn’t we send the author of ‘the color of her panties’? says Sydney.
the meeting degenerates from there.
I’m now seeing Death Battle in Arc-verse declaring a “no real-life supers” moratorium. /humor
Welp, that link led to an evening well spent…
And another Rule #71: Beware the Dead Man’s Switch: The dead often skip payment, and they are almost never punished for perjury.
While we’re overanalyzing funny sex moves… go look up “Goat on a Cliff”. :P
(I promise there is no bestiality involved.)
Did something bork the website header?
Apparently it may have been a WordPress upgrade, a couple of weeks ago.
Or not.
What’s happening is Porno sense is tingling…
By that I mean Everyone’s. Well except Sydney’s. It seems to have been left with a certain woof.

The topwebcomics thingie ain’t working, getting a ‘Certificate Error: Navigation Blocked’
You can either ignore the warning or miss out on a wet Dabbles emerging from a pool “)
Seems to be fixed now. That can happen if a site doesn’t renew certain security thingies or set them properly.
And that is the sum of what I know at the moment, without digging out last quarter’s textbook. :p
“Seems to be fixed now.”
Er, not yet. See https://www.dropbox.com/s/s6d1g9chn9cz1cg/TopWebComicsUntrusted.png?dl=0
Seems somebody needs to get the owner to take notice of emails telling him about this.
Huh. Worked for me without a warning.
I’ll take a look at my attachments.
