meaning of a phrase "he has to have it up me open..." Sun Jun 29, 2008 20:52 pm  meaning of a phrase "he has to have it up me open..."
 

Hi,

Could you help me understand this phrase:
Quote:
.... (Kate, Rockel and Willie are talking)
Willie ---Rockel saw Trevor at Missis Birds
Rockel ---It isn't enough that he's having a sorted affair but he has to have it up me open where anybody with a decent pair of binoculars can see
Kate---Rockel, he just went over there to borrow some milk
Rockel --- Well, sinse you're obviously taking his side, you can keep him
...

Thanks !

Hi Alex

Where in the world did you find that? Laughing

I'd interpret 'sorted' to mean 'sordid'.

As for the part in bold face type, I can only guess from the context that the speaker is referring to a man's insistence on having sexual intercourse with 'me' in a not-so-private location (in the open). Confused

EDIT:
I just saw your added context. It doesn't change my interpretation too much except for the fact that 'open' could mean 'in a room without shades or curtains drawn on the windows' (thus potentially making that room a not-so-private place).

Hi, Amy

Thank you !

Yes, "sordid" is more like it. (It fits more what I can hear in the dialog)

And I took the dialog from Alf Laughing (I have all the four seasons and I'm in the middle of watching the third season right now) Smile

By the way, do you happen to know what "gassed" might mean in the following line:
Missis Birds and I had a slight altercation, that hussy was getting gassed up for my husband

(only it sounded a bit like gassied to me)

Thank you again.

Hi Alex

I presume that what you heard was actually 'gussied up'. The hussy was trying to make herself look attractive and appealing to the other woman's husband.

Ahh, yeah, now I remember that that "hussy" was in the beauty parlour where Rockel went to see her to talk! Everything clicks into place.
You really gave me a paddle (because I had been up a creek Laughing ). Thanks !
