First I've every heard of this term. Now I fear I will use this unknowingly. I hope it doesn't slip out in conversation at work. Ugh.

Just had one today, new Dell Laptop.

Depend on how old/used the device is you are plugging in as well.  Not just the port itself.   A used usb cable/drive tends to have wear patterns over time.

Adjective 2) Not yet, touched, used or exploited. The only thing that gives it away, is because it's hard to plug a USB device into the port due to the tight fit. I don't know why that's creepy or sick.

probably because most people equate a female virgin with the term "tight" now days...

In this context ( ' goes in really tight' ) there are clear sexual connotations regarding the female and her anatomy, what with ports being referred to as either male or female. Virgin has contemporarily referred to a complete absence of sexual activity.

 

e.g. Do you call unused flash drives virgins ? No ?

What's going to be really funny is when you come across a brand-new computer and plug in a flash drive into its port for the first time and think of this thread 😄 ... you'll be like...Well....

 

As far as getting creeped out by the phrase. I guess I don't get creeped out by much.

True, but the usb on a flash drive is the male end and the port is the female, and the fact of the matter is the female port is the tight one. It's just the way it is. Do I call the Male virgin, no, the only thing that brings to my attention it's never been used before is usb devices goes in tight into the port. otherwise I probably wouldn't even notice.

      Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
