Club Member

Since they expected in a floorwalker the mechanical and servile gentility of a hired puppet, he exhibited the easy, offhand simplicity of a fellow club-member. ❋ Christopher Morley (1923)

"It is unconstitutional for one club-member to insult a fellow club-member," she cried, in a rage. ❋ Thompson Buchanan (1907)

And coming across a fellow club-member whom he knew for a thorough man about town, he suddenly plumped him with a question. ❋ Unknown (1899)

Green, 59, said the oldest club-member was "in their late 70s", and that doctors, lawyers, court officials and business people were among the membership. ❋ BY STEVE HOPKINS (2010)

"Flynn had so many [CLUB MEMBER'S] to [contend] with he hardly had time to sleep." or "Flynn takes his favorite CLUB MEMBERS on exotic and romantic trips as an award for outstanding performance." or "I can't believe Flynn never contracted any std's from a [CLUB MEMBER] member, wow, he's one lucky bastard!" ❋ D. Davenport (2010)

The following example is taken from a TED message board where potential Desi Haters Club Member s responded to a musical performance by a fellow native (musician [Vishal] [Vaid], in this case). The performance was generally [well received] by non-natives and was billed as "a modern perspective to the traditional music of India". Note that it was NOT billed as a purely traditional/classical Indian performance. Despite this, here are some of the actual responses to the performance (taken from the viewer comments page): 1. [Hameed] C ([Misc]. Desi Haters Club Member): "Being from south asia, and classical/folk music geek, this is way below standards. It shows more Confusion than Fusion. ...this piece here is merely a feeble attempt to catch attention rather than producing an original idea." 2. Ram N (Misc. Desi Haters Club Member): "Less than mediocre. For the western ear this may have some appeal..." 3. Mohammad M (Misc. Desi Haters Club Member): "[It's understandable] why this should appeal to a 'western' audience, but this really is sub-standard, by ANY standard, especially the vocals". A NICE COUNTER POINT TO THE [DHT] ONSLAUGHT [John F]: "I hate it when [puffed up] toffee noses take over a forum like this with their snobby opinions about what's good and who's better. Maybe Vishal isn't to your taste. So what. He is obviously not an unaccomplished musician. Gee, Bob Dylan, you should take some voice lessons! De gustibus non disputandum est." ❋ SixBillionHumansAndCounting (2010)

First, my daughter made me buy her 35 [Webkinz]. Then all the kids at school decided that being a [Club Penguin member] was cooler than Webkinz so she took my credit card and went on there and bought a [membership]! I was so mad! ❋ Disvan (2010)

you should be a special person [club member] cause [you look like] a [moron]. ❋ Lj (2005)

Example 1 Guy1:Johnny's been in the bathroom awhile, I bet you he's joining [the Mile High Club]. Guy 2: Pfft maybe as a half member! Johnny: Guess who's now a [Mile High Club Half Member]! Guy 1: Called it! Example 2 Drunk guy:[Never have I ever] joined the Mile High Club! *Johnny guy drinks* Johnny:I'm a [Mile High Club half member]! Drunk guy: Ew man gross! Johnny:Hey dude, it was a long flight and I was bored. ❋ Mrperson123 (2018)
