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.

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
