Well, considering how you *get* bear grease from the animal sort of bear, I'm thinking the living bears whose relatives you'd slaughtered and rendered for fat wouldn't get too friendly with you... vengeful maybe.
On the other hand, does anybody know when the other usage became prevalent, and if so what kind of 'grease' this is actually referring to... and why it goes on the *chest*?
Original use by some Native Americans - spread on the chest as well as the hair to protect from the cold. Kind of like Tiger Balm or Vick's, but thicker and grosser, I guess.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
