Read not just charitably, but informally, it should involve either a bulge or a prominent shot of the genital area, since that is something we (generally, hopefully) don't do unless we want to call it out. I mean, seriously, the only people who argue this 'informal' reading are pedants like myself. There's nothing wrong with it, but let's call it what it is. In context the point was reference to sex and genitalia, not the literal display of genitalia which I truly hope most of us would understand is not the case on the NYC metro (or any other, for that matter). Of course here I am typing out a response to an outrageously pointless line of conversation that nobody in their right mind would consider serious, so for all I know that's the same kind of reasoning that led to my reply. I guess I'd just prefer to see less of this kind of noise here, and I'm sorry if I'm contributing to it.
