Just Say What You’re After

Peaches “Dumb Fuck”

Peaches sings this song from the perspective, more or less, of the sort of person Heather Havrilesky has been telling people to be over the past few years of her Dear Polly column. Which is to say, she’s being direct and honest and not buying into the insecurity-masquerading-as-politeness that allows tepid dudes to keep on being flakey and indecisive with impunity. Peaches isn’t fucking around here – she wants to define the relationship, or move on. She doesn’t really want to dump the guy, but she’s flustered by how dense he’s being. So what do you do if he doesn’t have a clue? You just call him a dumb fuck over and over until the exasperation turns into catharsis. Yet another great lesson from the teaches of Peaches.
