Understated Power

[Mithrandir]

The most intimidating kind. Like a lion casually licking your balls. You both know he could tear them off and not break a sweat, but he's just there, licking them gently.

I like this post.

Yeah, What about it?

The fact that I'm drunk (again) and it's cool.

I hate to spoil the party, but I don't think a lion licking your balls is an example of understated power, it's not low-key but rather the image is highly suggestive and maybe foreshadows. An example of an image of a lion's understated power could be a lion sitting calmly in a position that really highlights its amazing body and strong musculature. (Sorry Cargést.)

That just makes me think "oh cool, a lion".  The ball-licking thing makes me thing "but wait, I need those to procreate... Shiiiiit".

I still say overt suggestiveness is antithetical to understatement.

No, my roommate. He didn't come up with the line though, it's been out there for years. It's the thought that counts.
