Title: I'm only going to ask once more...
Post by: Chavster on September 12, 2011, 01:18:26 AM

...because I already feel like a Rick (with a silent P) for having to ask at all.

Can someone please explain to me what the world 'Sly' has to do with being bald/shaved? Is there some kind of 'secret handshake' going on?

AFAIK, 'sly' means 'cunning'. Are we simply alluding to the fact that by having no hair, we're being cunning, or is there another reason why the group is called Sly Bald Guys? From an English (language) point of view, 'Sly' + 'Bald Guys' isnt a logical marriage of words/phrases, so I'm sure I must be missing something (apart from decent steak, lots of money in the bank, and sex).

Someone, please fill me in  :-[

There's no secret meaning (that I know of).  It just sounds right.  A sly bald guy just is a cool guy who takes charge rather than let a problem take him under.

Thanks :) I guess you over that way <----- have a different set of meanings for some words than we over here -----> do :D Here, sly doesnt mean cool or take charge, it just means cunning. It doesnt matter anyway, I was just curious. I like the site title  8)
