Men who straighten their hair.

See, the thing is, I'm not sure it's in your interest to give me a hard time about straightening my hair. You know what I'm talking about: to just assume that a person who straightens their hair is feminine, like that's some hallmark of femininity, hair-straightening.

...

I'm not saying you're saying that only girls who straighten their hair are girls. Why would you think I was saying that?

...

What I'm saying is that you're saying that the only people who straighten their hair are people who think they're female, so if I do it I must be less of a man than some other guy who doesn't straighten his hair.

...

Why would you think I would think you thought I thought that's what you were saying?

...

No, the first thing.

...

See, that's not helping either. I'm serious, you don't want to have all these people in the bar here thinking that a guy who straightens his hair is some sort of nancy.

...

It's a British term for "effete man".

...

It means I'm putting that bit in quotations.

...

I'm not saying that because you called me a nancy that you're also a nancy, like only a nancy would use the word "nancy".

...

It's not in your interest because now all these guys in the bar here are going to know you stepped outside with some hair-straightening nancy and had your life separated from your body. That's why. [End.]
