To think this is a REALLY weird thing to say?

[Sheabutter19]

My DD(4) and I were round at my grandads house. She took off her jacket and was doing around and he said ‘oh strip tease’ and laughed. AIBU to think this is really weird to say about a 4 year old GGD?

Oh god I've never thought about this phrase before but we used to say it all the time.

I don't think you understand what sarcastic means.

it sounds like it might have been a joke

No it wasn’t a joke. There is no such thing as a “joke” about a 4 year old doing a striptease.

Yes I remember kids at primary school singing that in the 70s/80s. Joking about strip teases was seen as harmless at the time.

Yep, yuck and I have never ever heard any old person say this. It would always have been inappropriate and a bit weird.

Every generation has people who say the wrong thing, but if anything it would have been frowned on even more decades ago to say something like that to a child as vulgar jokes were generally kept more to adult settings, and not so normalised and widespread.

I guess if this is a one off I'd leave it, but yep it's a bit yuck.

Yes it's inappropriate but he's 80 odd

Agree it's the type of thing I'd cringe over, but if all else seems fine, it's just a dumb thing some people might say without thinking and with absolutely nothing 'dirty' behind it. I'd try to let it go as just one of those awkward foot-in-mouth moments that happen sometimes.

I understand perfectly what sarcastic means thanks. However I'm not sure why I used it here, it's not the word I would have meant to use looking back at my post now!

You're wrong, very wrong.
