Cam: I can't decide whether to take Lily to the park or the lake. Im leaning towards the park Claire: I can see that (staring at his crotch) I know it is a double entendre but i want the reference explained please. It is really bugging me!

I did not know that "park" is a synonym for gay?

Does this somehow imply that he is gay? I want to know what she means by "I can see that" Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: double entendre bizzaro #199153 04/15/11 01:32 PM Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 5,295 Netherlands, the Hague BranShea Carpal Tunnel BranShea Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 5,295 Netherlands, the Hague Maybe it'll take 12 episodes to get this unraveled.

(Sorry Jackie/Faldage-s.) A Cornish guy once told me that if a man is gay he keeps his penis on one side of his shorts. If he is straight it's on the other side. Now can some one say if park means gay. That bit(s), I don't understand.

I was simply confused because he said leaning towards the park. I did not understand the sentence in its entirety. I watch many shows and I always understand the subtexts and nuances and whatever. I couldn't handle not understanding this =) Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: double entendre Avy #199156 04/15/11 02:12 PM Joined: Apr 2000 Posts: 10,542 this too shall pass tsuwm Carpal Tunnel tsuwm Carpal Tunnel Joined: Apr 2000 Posts: 10,542 this too shall pass we live near a city park that is reputed to have a trail where gays can make contacts; maybe this is a common phenomenon.

BTW: do you use American or British English? I don't want to seem grammatically challenged... Last edited by bizzaro; 04/15/11 02:30 PM.
