Go on my son

What does this mean?! I was on a date in a pub, in a quiet corner near closing time. We had a little kiss and just then a few people left and turned around to see (we were definitely hidden away!) - a few of the guys started cheering and went “go on, my son” - standard drunk behaviour I’m sure, but is it a nice thing or a bit awkward?! Bit embarrassed today and didn’t know how to react!

It's the sort of phrase you'd hear someone shouting when a footballer is about to score.

It's crude, but they were probably suggesting your DP was about to score too...

It's drunk banter meaning give her one

Choose better pubs next time Grin

Just a bit of a laddy congratulations for getting a kiss

Not particularly pleasant. But I find PDAs a bit cringy and I'd probably have told you to get a room.

It's usually followed by, "Get in there." Crass comment.

You were lucky no one called out

“Get a room!”

Hmm
FiremanKing · 21/04/2019 16:46

That was meant to be Grin

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 21/04/2019 16:46

In this context yeah it means "wooohoo get in there you've pulled give her one"

Its laddish and drunk

Its neither a complement or an insult or tbh anything you need to react too

Just a lad's way of saying 'well done, mate'.

My DH says stuff like this when watching football matches etc.

Cool thanks, yeah I don’t like PDAs either but I think when the pub is empty and you are completely hidden away, it doesn’t really count? But thanks for clearing it up
