[Ads-l] boof

[ADSGarson O'Toole]

Warning: This message includes citations that refer to sex without consent.

VS referred to Purity Tests which some view as a measure of
achievement. There is a slang phrase that refers to the penetration of
the fundament as a form of conquest or achievement. The slang phrase
does not contain the word "boof", but it may be relevant in showing
the existence of a semantic niche. The phrase is similar to "Earning
one's wings".

Phrase: Earning one's brown wings

I heard this phrase in a news story circa 1990s, and I did not hear it
from a school-age peer. JL may have collected data on it, but it
probably fits under the entry for "wings" and the JL's Historical
Dictionary for American Slang did not release a volume containing "w".

The Partridge Dictionary of Slang has an entry tracing the expression
back to 1971. See the next citation for more information about the
early citation.

Originally Hell's Angel usage; "brown" (the colour associated with the
anus) plus "wings" (badge of honour).

Most of the Frisco chapter earned their brown wings on this occasion.
It was some shindig! The queen never had it so good! --
Jamie Mandelkau, Buttons, p 101, 1971

But if you're the proud owner of an enormous penis and you still want
to get your brown wings, the way is not to ask, it's to do. --

[Begin excerpt]
The books by Kaye and Mandelkau describe the early deviant lifestyle
common to the early Angels—drug taking, sex orgies, and drug dealing.
Buttons also relates the account of earning his "brown wings" through
the sodomy of a man observed by other Angels: he and a group of Angels
sodomized a “drag queen.” Others, particularly law enforcement, have
alluded to "brown wings"; however, recent works by Hells Angels
members say these rituals never existed. Nevertheless, according to
records released under the Freedom of Information Act, FBI agents in
their reports to Director J. Edgar Hoover described the Hells Angels
as drug addicts and homosexuals, supposedly because of such
activities.
