A youth asked my 71 yr old mother her opinion on 'Beating the Meat'

[QuoteOfTheDay]

Hello,

On a very gentle amble to a pub in the cotswolds this evening, a young man around 14, asked my 71 Yr old mother her opinion on 'beating the meat'.

Myself, having heard my mother's reply of 'I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean' (she certainly did, the wily old fox) but nothing else, turned to him and asked him to repeat. He then, very smoothly, asked what my opinion was on Man United. Shamefully, I told him (I don't wish to repeat). On asking him who he supported he tapped his man u bottle and ran away.

AIBU to spread this encounter far and wide to alert the church elders?

Gosh my mum is so innocent, she honestly wouldn't know what this meant 😄

Exactly! Prestbury is far too close to Stretford, most MU fans live miles away.

Not going to lie...kinda jealous 😄

Ah you see, I now realise there are two prestburys! This prestbury is in the cotswolds, very different very small (i don't want to be responsible for a football war 😬)

Young folk always think they're the first to come up with things, especially those with X-Y chromosones where anything penis related is concerned. I remember being like that myself when in Primary 1 I heard someone say 'farting' and assumed that was a cool new way to describe passing wind 🤣.

And Didsbury is such a nice place!

Was he an Inbetweener?

🤣

What the hell was he thinking saying that to an old woman.

Well I have learned something new tonight - I had never heard that phrase before.
It sounds like a silly immature boy dare to me 'ohh go and say the word wank to that lady'.🙄

Purely from numerical standpoint. Shame Greg Davies wasn't there to discipline him.
.ahem....

I'm not innocent but had never heard the phrase. Must be an Englisb thing as it's certainly never heard where I live.

There is something new and valuable to learn in every day.

Is that near Manchester?this is (apparently).the innocent cotswolds 😀

hahaha yes (if only the laugh emoji was still there I would use it)

My mum said she thought it was a dare!!!.

Or an umbrella with a very sharp point jabbed in the right place would have a similar effect

Tbf my mum looks pretty young for her age but not THAT young...he knew what he was doing...

A young man in our town actually came down to our house once, and asked my elderly mother if she wanted a toyboy.

She shouted at him, and he admitted that he had been dared to do it.

I didnt like that, as my mum was shaken up by it.

A la Markov perhaps....

That was my first thought. But I wouldn't expect that off anyone over the age of about 12!

The man who asked my mum if she wanted a toyboy, as a dare, was 27!

I agree. My mum is fine and it doesn't phase her and I know I'm making light of it on this thread but actually it is a form of intimidation. I'm surprised at how ashamed I felt afterwards. That i didn't challenge him, that I was stupid enough to talk to him about man u

Christ! Depressing...

FFS. No doubt sober too (just chronically immature)
