Now, here's some fun, interesting things. Welcome to the greatest lesson of all time. Is it? Today, I'm going to teach you some slang about meat. The first one you probably already know. It's all over, I guess, the internet. What's the internet? It's all over everywhere. I see it all the time. You know what? I have a confession. I had no idea what it meant until I researched this. I was like, "Why is everyone going along about a goat?" Then I realized "goat" means greatest of all time. So this is the greatest lesson of all time because I'm going to teach you some slang. Yeah. Ha-ha.
So, first one has to do with meat. Now, disclaimer, you guys might be thinking, "Ronnie, can you really eat that?" Who am I to judge? Eat whatever you want. First one, "pork". In slang, "to pork" means to have sex. So you say, "Oh, I porked this guy last night" or "This guy porked me last night." Also, a pork sword is a penis.
Next one, this is kind of old-fashioned, "to horse around". So my grandmother would say, "Ronnie, stop horsing around." Basically, it means playing when you're a child, so you're getting into mischief, you're not doing your homework, you're goofing off. So "to horse around". Yes, I have eaten horse. It was raw, it was in Japan, and no, I don't remember what it tastes like, but it must have been good.
"Squirrel". Have you ever eaten squirrel? Do you know what a squirrel is? A lot of people that come to Canada are fascinated by these creatures. They're little guys, they run around, gather nuts, got a big bushy tail. By the way, side note, I've always wanted a tail, and my choice of tail would be a squirrel. Back to the lesson. So, "to squirrel something away". I haven't even written the definition for you guys, bad teacher. To squirrel something away is what the squirrels do with their nuts. Not those nuts, the nuts they collect from the trees. So what they do is they go and they collect the nuts, and then they hide them. So "to squirrel something away" basically means to hide something and keep it safe. Squirrels squirrel away nuts. We would squirrel away, I don't know, maybe chocolates, money, anything that you hold precious to your being.
This is funny, too. "Goose". Now, you've noticed that all of these have a "V" that stands for "verb", so these are all verbs. So, "to pork", "to horse around", "to squirrel something away", "to goose someone". If you speak Japanese, or if you've ever been to Japan, the Japanese word for this is "kancho", where little kids, delightful little kids, like to stick their fingers in your butt, with clothes on, of course, because that would be rude. But "to goose someone" is to poke or pinch a bum. Bum is your backside of your butt. So, you goose someone, you... Now, people say the reason or the etymology behind this slang word is that geese, plural, or a goose, they're kind of nasty and they like to bite you, and of course they bite you in your bum, because that's goose level. The other theory is if someone actually gooses you, you kind of, like, like a goose. Which one do you like better? You can make your own up. So, "to goose someone", poke them in the bum, poke your pookie.
We're going on to a noun. "A weasel". So, a weasel is a small creature, and growing up we had cartoons of a weasel, and he had, like, big googly eyes, and weird teeth, and he was small, but if someone is a weasel, they're untrustworthy. It means you cannot trust them. So, you might tell them something confidentially, like a secret, and then they tell it, or they might steal from you. Basically, they're just bad people. And then, English just went, "Let's expand on this." To weasel out of something. It means to back out... Why am I backing up? Of an agreement. So, we've got some phrasal verbs, here. So, to back out of an agreement means to, like, stop the agreement illegally or without telling someone. […]
