Eat Out! It's Fun!
While growing up in 1960's California, my brother learned at school that the local slang for going down on a woman was "eating out." Strangely enough, it was also a way of dismissing someone. You could say "eat out!" like someone might say "fuck off!" It seems to me that "eat out" should have been a term to wish someone good fortune! Anyway, my brother had passed on his new language skills to my sister and I. We all went out to dinner one night shortly after. When the bill came, I noticed on the bottom of the ticket it read "Eat out! It's fun!" I giggled, then edged the bill toward my brother- and he started to softly snicker. My sister glanced over just as she took a big sip of Pepsi. Pepsi sprayed everywhere along with louder, more uncontrolled laughter. My dad shouted: "What the Hell's the matter with you guys?" He tore the ticket away from me as I pointed to it. My brother looked frightened. However, we all laughed even harder as Dad's eyebrows knit together. He didn't get it! He had no idea! That was likely my first realization ever that slang is something kids will always have over adults. Something ever changing that's just their own. Enjoy the latest eating out pics...
