Pool to tag: What is a man?

Miserable pile, secrets, etc...

"What is a man?" (pool #735) is an odd title, and this is something that would do better as a tag than a pool. But what should the tag be?

Something like holding_glass perhaps?

It's more broad and general than the pool, but in symphony with the other holding_* tags.

That said, I don't really mind the pool being around.

But you could be holding a glass without holding it that exact way, or you could be holding a glass that isn't a wine glass. Really, I think the pool is fine.

the tag refers to the "wrong" way of holding the cup, so instead of "holding_glass" it would be holding_glass_wrong?

Maybe you're saying the pool should be centered on Castlevania references or crossovers?

How is cupping a wine glass / goblet wrong?

Cupping_cup? :p

I could probably settle for cupping_glass.

the "correct" manner to hold a cup is by the smallest part of the, uh, "neck" of the cup? you know, holding it with your thumb and index finger.
The using your whole hand to hold it is the "wrong" way to hold it, like Dracula does in Castlevania

.

Guess I am just not into formalities lol

The "wrong" Castlevania-way is the correct way for holding a glass of brandy tho.

So Dracula drinks drunkard-blood?

Eh. I guess he's just a lush. Oh, also +1 for cupping glass, as I can't think of anything better myself.

Rather like the pool. Feels a bit..classic.

okay, here are some examples of the correct way to hold a glass of wine.

I hope that gives better example

I'd like to be able to shoot people through the internet who use uselessly ambiguous and confusing pool names.

... considering it's a meme that has been around for so long, I never thought it was confusing or ambiguous

but enough talk, have some tea

The problem is that the pool is not, in fact, referring to the meme, but the stupid wineglass.

And the meme is confined to the English language fandom AFAIK, so its not a big issue for us in general. Do we have any images of an actual parody of the scene?

I think the pool is fine but some pictures should be removed. "What is a man" is referring to the pose and how the glass is handled. The pose specifically is reclining in a chair, crossed legs cupping a glass of wine. Most bad guys adopt this pose and its associated with a rich condescending prick being a rich condescending prick while cupping a wine glass on an elaborate chair.

The pool needs cleaning up though.

Bringing this up
Since there was no final choice on the tag.

I like cupping_glass.

That's fine.
