  1. plaidpanda says:

    Oh goodness..

  2. Jooles says:

    She doesn’t know what it is, but can spell it correctly? Yeah, right…

  3. E says:

    Well… I guess she’ll find out tonight.

  4. Cray74 says:

    Mommy, does that mean Richard and Patrick are in French class?

  5. Ohshllll says:

    I wouldn’t have known what that meant if it wasn’t for urbandictionary…

  6. boo says:

    my facebook status vs. google search….

    • lallie says:

      I always make sure I add ‘urban dictionary’ in the google search string… like I did now. and I would like to think it’s because I hang out with decent people that I did not know what this was. :) Hilarious.

  7. I think she was asking about the Eiffel Tower in relation to the high-five.

  8. The_Omnomnom says:

    Google search will not help you unless you are google searching “Urban dictionary”
    Jeez the internet is wasted on you kids!

  9. Djemba says:

    I thought we called that tower bridging…

  10. f says:

    this isn’t really a fail. there’s a tv show in the uk called the it crowd, where ‘eiffel tower *hi-five*’ is a kind of catchphrase in one of the episodes.

  11. Crab says:

    “Eiffel tower” when high-fiving is in reference to The IT Crowd, a UK comedy show, actually. Me and my friends to it all the time :)

    • Ironica says:

      And now, if you do check it out in Urban Dictionary, you’ll find that some folks will take the reference somewhere else entirely.

      Somewhat like how the British react when an American says they’re putting on their fanny pack.

    • CharlosD says:

      THANK YOU! Finally!

  12. lestat888 says:

    If you watch the first episode of the last season of “The IT Crowd”, you’ll find out! Some guys say it, to ask a high-five. That is why they said it, I guess… But the chick didn’t know!

  13. Chorkie says:

    Either her friends have a rather disgusting sense of humor, or she has the worst Facebook addiction EVER…

    • Lilianna says:

      I submitted this, and I just gotta say, she is really the nicest person I’ve ever met, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was her friends being strange.

  14. An Cat Dubh says:

    Sorry to spoil the party, but I think she knew what it meant. Otherwise she wouldn’t have known how to spell it.

    • Gustave Eiffel says:

      How does knowing how to spell “Eiffel Tower” have anything to do with the sexual meaning of this post?

      • The Queen says:

        Seriously! The Eiffel Tower has been around for over 100 years. Knowing how to spell it has absolutely nothing to do with the connotation of high fiving and saying it. I didn’t know what it meant, and I can spell Eiffel Tower in 2 languages. I guess my party is spoiled.

    • A. Person says:

      um………………how do I comment? Are they being serious, having a laugh, trolling?

      • Voodoo says:

        Best to just ignore. Trolls go away if you don’t give them the life-giving attention they crave.

        • Trololo says:

          Sometimes just commenting that they are trolls enlivens them to do better the next time, so it is best not to even comment that you think they may be a troll.

        • Wewillwewillrockyou666 says:

          Samething with minecraft.
          If you ignore the griefer,
          they will go away. Then yoiu can
          fix what they tor* down.
          * So sew** me!
          **WHY ARE YOU LOOKING DOWN HERE?

      • An Cat Dubh says:

        I was serious. I didn’t know there was a sexual innuendo, I thought she was just too ignorant to know what the Eiffel Tower was…

    • JMac says:

      So, by your logic, only people that have taken part in that particular position know how to spell Eiffel Tower?

      Really?

      /facepalm

    • tonyjaa says:

      are you aware that your “irish” username is gramatically incorrect? The correct translation of “The black cat” is “An gCat beag”. BEATCH!!!!1!

      • Name not required says:

        Incorrect. An Cat Dubh is in fact correct. AND: I’m British living in Ireland. For shame. Go home and study moar.

      • :) says:

        Are you aware that “beag” means small ? :L
        What you’re saying is “The small cat” and I think it’s meant to be “The Black Cat” in English, right? Then it’s “Tá an cat dubh”

        So nope, their username is right :D

        • MouthyMaven of Ravenloft - just beyond the forgotten realms says:

          I have rosetta stone for gaelic….dude…props. I got through 1 lesson and got a 70%. I stepped away and decided to go back to Japanese.

          • Luimnigh says:

            I AM Irish.

            • Trololo says:

              He’s just saying that gaelic is hard.

            • Greg says:

              Same here. “:)” is right, beag means small.

              • tonyjaa says:

                oops, I wrote beag instead of dubh, i was referring to the cat part. In irish cat is cat but with ‘an’ infront it changes to ‘an gcat’. I am irish, although i have to admit my irish is not 100%

                • An Cat Dubh says:

                  Um, there is a U2 song called ‘An Cat Dubh’, as well as an Irish folk-rock band from Germany that goes by that name.

                  • tonyjaa says:

                    ye but U2 are gay and germans don’t speak irish. So eh, ye…..

                    • An Cat Dubh says:

                      As far as I know, U2 is a band, and a band cannot be homosexual, only the individual members thereof, and as far as I know, Bono is heterosexual. (I’ll be nice and assume good faith, because the ‘other’ meaning of the word you might have intended to use is more worthy of a smack for your retarded homophobia.)
                      As for the Germans, true, they don’t speak Irish (at least not those who have never bothered studying it), but that doesn’t mean they can’t look up a dictionary.
                      Which I did, and you lost.
                      You fail.

          • witchmaiden says:

            I’m Irish too. We don’t need rosetta stone, we know our language. Plus Gaelic usually refers to Scotch Language. Gaelge is Irish.

    • Idia says:

      That’s what I was thinking.

    • notolaf says:

      *I* knew how to spell Eiffel Tower, and I have innocent angel ears. How does knowledge of sexual innuendo contribute to spelling ability, anyway? Please enlighten me.

    • An Cat Dubh says:

      Actually… I didn’t know that was a sexual position. I thought they were just imitating the structure of the Eiffel Tower, and she was just really ignorant… X_X

  15. troll says:

    Ok maybe someone can explain me this one :D

  16. Sarah says:

    May be a reference of the tv serie IT Crowd (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0487831/), in the first episode of season four some guys high five this way… yelling Eiffel Tower!!!

  17. Epictrollisepic says:

    Kinky.

  18. TheCannyScot says:

    Adds a whole new meaning to frenching, doesn’t it.

  19. That Guy says:

    Just to explain the joke here : One guy from behind, one guy get a bj from the front (of course) and then they highfive above the middleperson and scream eiffel tower, its a funny sexmove.. it doesn’t have anything to do with france or the actuall eiffel tower.
    The joke is that she didn’t know what the funny thing was, she probebly knows what the eiffel tower is. THERE there you have the joke, damn dull internetpeople.

  20. CountVarg says:

    I think Eiffell tower reference comes from “The I.T crowd” :) If you have never I suggest you lot watch it very funny :)

  21. Hobson's Choice says:

    A much less exciting option is the Leaning Tower of Pisa, where the guy can’t quite get it up, and the girl is nowhere to be seen…

  22. Wilson says:

    This is why homosexuals and Frenchmen have a bad reputation.

  23. Seriously. This is less funny if you think logically. If you’d rather laugh, then *insert apathetic comment here*

  24. taylor says:

    i defiantly just peed myself from laughing.

  25. Fish says:

    “A threesome with two guys and a girl, where one guy is hitting it from behind, and the other guy is getting a blow job. The guys are high-fiving over the girl to make the eiffel tower shape.”

  26. go4 says:

    ridiculously scripted and fake

    • Kissy Monster says:

      Yeah sure… she doesnt know what the eiffel tower is, but still knows how to spell it… as go4 said “ridiculously scripted and fake”

      • Tony says:

        How? Because I know how to spell “Eiffel Tower” and don’t get the reference.

      • Mac says:

        I had no idea what an “Eiffel Tower” was until I looked it up and, guess what! *I* knew how to spell it before I looked it up!

        Not ALL of us are idiots who only know how to spell something because it’s an obscure sexual deviance.

        Some of us are really smart and awesome spellers but happen to be clueless.

        • Kissy Monster says:

          It´s not AN “Eiffel Tower” It´s THE “Eiffel tower”…
          You Yanks are really something… Know how to spell it but not what it is?
          Not ALL of you are idiots, just the majority…

          • Dave says:

            No, it’s not THE Eiffel Tower, because there can be more than one. All you need is three willing sexual deviants.

          • IloveDeadPandas says:

            Well, I think Mac knew what THE Eiffel Tower is. But, he didn’t know what AN “Eiffel Tower” is.
            Capisci?

          • slaggingham says:

            She wasn’t asking what the Eiffel tower is, she wanted to know what that term had to do with two guys high-fiving over her head.

            But don’t worry, just because you didn’t get that EVEN THOUGH IT IS EXPLAINED OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN THE POSTS ABOVE YOU doesn’t mean you’re an idiotic Yank.

            Because obviously you’re not a Yank.

          • MrSlow says:

            *scratches head*

            If “Yanks are really something”, what are you? nothing? a troll? a stupid frenchman?

      • pickonicus says:

        I would think that hanging out here would make you more aware that being able to spell and knowing a lot of slang are very often mutually exclusive.

      • k-girl says:

        oh, no, it has NOTHING to do with the fact that the Eiffel Tower is an actual place, nor that Facebook will spell it for you >_>

      • b says:

        FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, YOU STUPID, STUPID CHILDREN. The Eiffel Tower, or La Tour Eiffel en francais, is an actual structure. I happen to know the girl that posted this. She took 3 years of French in high school. She knows what the ACTUAL Eiffel Tower is. So yes, she knows how to spell it. How about you all jump off the internet and do some reading.

    • Lilianna says:

      As said above, I submitted this, she’s the nicest girl ever, and she wouldn’t have posted it without being legitimately curious. I just found it too hilarious to not pass on. Guess I’m a bad person, but whatever.

  27. TravisD says:

    Eiffel tower means you just announced to all your facebook friends that you are a skeeze who got tag-teamed hahaha

  28. shadowgirl says:

    This sounds fun but I want to be one of the people giving the high five

  29. lustmord says:

    I thought it was obvious based on her description. Why so much confusion?

  30. Maurice Moss says:

    Erm…. Is it just me who gets the IT crowd reference and not a blatant sexual perversion?

  31. notolaf says:

    What an absolute groundhog’s day of a thread. Tautology indeed! (Definition may be found in a REAL dictionary.)

  32. Hey There Delilah says:

    Why is people so ignorant?
    Eiffel Tower: iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris that has become both a global icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world.
    You’re welcome.
    (And if you pretend to correct any spelling/grammar mistake, please don’t say anything about the Why is people so ignorant? , because my mother tongue is Spanish and I’m just 13 ;) )

    • notolaf the spelling nazi says:

      Why *are* people so ignorant?

      Presume, not pretend.

      I’m 49, my mother tongue is sarcasm, and I correct 13-year-olds on a daily basis. :P

    • ThatDarnCat says:

      It’s because they can only feel important when they bash people on the internet. If they tried irl they would get beat down.

    • slaggingham says:

      You fail.

      She wasn’t asking what the Eiffel tower is, she wanted to know what that term had to do with two guys high-fiving over her head.

      But don’t worry, just because you didn’t get that EVEN THOUGH IT IS EXPLAINED OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN TH EPOSTS ABOVE YOU doesn’t mean you’re ignorant.

      Well, okay, it DOES mean that, but we won’t hold it against you, kid.

  33. Doesn’t anybody know that this is actually called a London Bridge? Not an Eiffel Tower???

    Made same innocent (and in a funny, not sexual situation) mistake as she did, but my people actually knew the name of the position..

  34. Albert4 says:

    The reason the I.T. Crowd nerds announce “Eiffel Tower” when “High-fiveing” is because they imagine actually doing the the sexual act, in much the same way that a small child will make fart noises and consider it humourous.

  35. zappafrank says:

    Finger cuffs plus a high 10

  36. b says:

    I don’t understand how people are so stupid nowadays that they actually think “an”Eiffel Tower is purely sexual and don’t know what THE Eiffel Tower is. Sad, sad day.

  37. Charmaroo says:

    I can’t believe the number of people who went to Urban Dictionary! You’re all dirty people. It’s definitely an IT Crowd reference – the guys do an upwards high five and call it an Eiffel Tower.

  38. Candice says:

    All I can say is wow!! :O

  39. CharlosD says:

    NOBODY watches the IT CROWD? so lame…

  40. Kaz says:

    I’ve always called it a ‘spit roast’.. never heard the eiffel tower one before

  41. Nachiket says:

    I dare call it a fake. How come she spelled it correctly, not to mention a capital ‘E’ and ‘T’?
