[edit] Euphemism

• It is also a euphemism for individuals (typically female) who have red hair. It refers to pubic hair that matches the color of the hair on the redhead's head. An individual may be said to have the fire down below if the red hair on her head is natural. That is, a way of asking an apparent redhead if her head of hair is natural is to ask "do you have the fire down below?".

The above is quite silly and unsourced. Is the phrase actually a euphemism for individuals with red hair? That would mean people actually call redheads "fire down belows." That seems awfully awkward and unlikely. It is more likely that "fire down below" is a euphemism for red pubic hair, not for redheads. Perhaps that could be kept in if WP:V. As for "An individual may be said to have the fire down below if the red hair on her head is natural. That is, a way of asking an apparent redhead if her head of hair is natural is to ask "do you have the fire down below?"... that's not very encyclopedic and also per Wikipedia is not a dictionary, or a usage or jargon guide "Wikipedia is not in the business of saying how words, idioms, etc., should be used. We aren't teaching people how to talk like a Cockney chimney-sweep." And keep in mind this is an article for the 1997 action film, and getting bogged down on trivia unrelated to the film is just not right. Esquizombi 16:54, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Fire down below poster.jpg

Image:Fire down below poster.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Hot Male on Male Action

"Seagal's production involvement (The Patriot, On Deadly Ground) is detectable in the Aikido-inspired fight sequences, general overcompetence of Seagal's character versus antagonists, and repeated references to male on male sexual assault."

 Okay, I understand how the star of the movie is portrayed as the hero, in an unrealistic way, because IT'S A MOVIE, but I didn't notice the man-rape theme.  I will have to watch it over and over and over.  Thanks for the tip from the DL.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.100.158.4 (talk) 08:25, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
