Rubber Lips Meaning Explained
The phrase seems to have numerous meanings, according to the Urban Dictionary rubber lips is when you accidentally mangle the pronunciation of a word due to lingual clumsiness, this is when you stumble over a word that you can usually pronounce or finding a combination of sounds you simply cannot make yourself pronounce.
There is a second island definition of the word which is “someone whose lips have a pronounced shape” and it seems like Mick Jagger was recently nicknamed as rubber lips because of his iconic lip shape. However, there are many people on social media who have suggested that the phrase could be a racial trope which is reflecting the old-fashioned comments about the black community.
How Did Jon Gruden Use The Phrase?
While discussing the comments he made in an email in the year 2011 where he referred DeMaurice Smith to have lip the size of Michelin tires, this was told by Raiders coach Jon Gruden who told a senior athletic writer Vic Tafur that he used the phrase ‘rubber lips’ to refer to people lying.
He stated he didn’t feel like he was getting the truth, he refers to guys when he sees them lying and he stated that he can tell they are lying, he refers to them as rubber lips and he stated he went too far calling his lips “Michelin tires”. Gruden has apologized for his wording on the email which he sent in the year 2011 and it seems like the NFL is reviewing the whole matter and they will take disciplinary action if needed.
This is something which happened a long time ago but he was never held responsible for this which is the problem here, it doesn’t matter that he did this decades ago but what matters if he has faced the repercussions of it or not and it seems like that he hasn’t, we will update you with what NFL has decided to do to solve the matter.
I don’t see the need to call it racial. I would have told “Chucky” to stay away from the knife drawer before you stab someone in the back. This victimization shit from decades ago is bullshit. If there’s an issue address it when it happens. Don’t play the race card just handle your business promptly and keep it moving.
