Bald, but maybe not Sly yet.
« on: October 08, 2010, 10:03:16 AM »
Hey everybody!
My name is Ray.  I'm 26 years old and an American living in Germany.  I'm bald by choice and I've been shaving my head off and on since I was in high school.  What exactly does it mean to all of you to be "sly"?

Welcome Ray.  I'm not sure, but based on your avatar pic I think you may already be a world class Sly guy!  O:O

Welcome Ray, so glad to have you join our ranks.  You asked what sly meant?  For me, it's called Freedom-with a capital "F"!  Fought  terrible hair of hair for years (all my life).  I went Sly as I lost a bet with a neighbor.  Best bet I ever lost.  With the support of the brothers on this forum, I have been free now for over two years.  Thanks to one and all.
I am no better that anyone else, but by God, no one is better than I am

Welcome brother!!   To me being SLY is kinda like the Miami Hurricanes in the 80's and 90's.....they had the swagger and knew why!  I feel exactly the same way....and as the brother above said about freedom---OHHHHH--he is so right!

If you have to ask, you're not there yet!   :*))

No no, just kidding!  O0  I believe our fearless leader, who founded the phrase with this site has the correct definition!

"When I created the site, I was looking for an adjective to put in-front of "Bald Guys" that made us stand out.  I liked the meaning of "sly" being that we "are wise in practical affairs," "clever," and "roguish." - Tyler   O:O
