A double entendre recognized by some, perhaps. I am admittedly pretty tuned out of a lot of popular culture, but I had never heard this.

- perl4ever 6y agoPeople may have different opinions on whether one should be aware of it, indeed. You can point to an authoritative source like the OED, and at the same time question whether it really penetrated to everyone. Considering that, as I wrote, it was used until 2018 by one restaurant chain, that might be a plausible estimate of when it became commonly known to most people. So is it reasonable to come down like a ton of bricks on someone in 2021? Is it fair to say that 19 years is not enough time to adjust, while 22 years is more than enough?
