Would the g*y community be receptive to eating at a hot dog shoppe called Hot Dongs?

Question

this is a serious question. My cousin thinks that this would be a good idea for a hot dog place in san francisco. I think that it is a terrible idea and that nobody, g*y or otherwise, would eat there. Who is right?

Answer 1

It would fit in perfectly and be completely embraced in the Castro neighborhood. SF city would absolutely not forbid a name like this, especially in the openly g*y Castro, I;ve seen worse. Their cliches run deep in that district. Would people eat there? In the Castro they would, not sure about other neighborhoods. Whether or not it's a good idea, well that's a whole other issue. In either case, I actually laughed out loud, so you got me there!

Answer 2

I think it's very funny! A few friends of mine would go JUST because of the name! It definitely belongs in the Castro. I see nothing wrong with it, if you don't have a sense of humor, you're just boring. :)

Answer 3

I think it's a terrible idea and the city would probably not allow it.  Most cities regulate shop names for profanity/offensive language, and I'm pretty sure that would fall under that category.

Answer 4

i like it

Answer 5

There was a pretty good fast food place called "hot n hunky" near the Castro and they called all their hot dogs "weiners."

Answer 6

most gayborhoods don't mind this sort of thing; i have a suspicion that the people who think its terrible are evangelists or something.

there is a g*y bar in philadelphia that is called "Woody's" and the g*y men all love it because of that

san francisco is not the place where that sort of thing would be looked down upon...

ever been to the pride parade?

Answer 7

If you could open a place like that, it would be San Fran. If the hot dogs are good, I'm sure people will go. Honestly, I'm a straight guy, but if the hot dogs werre good, and at a good price, I would go to a place called "Hot Dongs"

Answer 8

no they will be called hot ***** not hot dongs

Answer 9

I am not trying to be funny...but there is a Tex-Mex place called The Pink Taco....it is huge and has made millions. I think it started in Vegas.

I think as long as you have great food...the name shouldnt matter.

Another one is The Strip Club in San Diego...that is a steakhouse.

**But Dong on the other hand...now thats kind of funny!!!

Answer 10

You're right. It's a terrible idea. I advise your cousin not to name the hot dog shop 'Hot Dongs.' I believe many would find the name to be disgusting; therefore, the shop wouldn't last long.

Answer 11

Sure, why not? As long as the Dongs are Hot and delicious, it'll attract a fair share of straight ppl too. There's already Hot 'n Hunky in the Castro -- why not Hot Dongs right next door?

I was thinking about opening a place specializing in tropical cuisines and calling it The Banana Hammock.

Answer 12

I don't know if it's a good idea or not but I just spit coffee on my computer screen from laughing so hard...

Answer 13

I think it's awesome!  And I would go just because of the name.  Very catchy and unforgettable!

Answer 14

quite distasteful.

One thing to remember- the g*y community (for the most part) has exquisite taste.

This is insulting, vulgar and just barbarian.

I hope your cousin isn't looking for a career in marketing! He'd starve.............
