For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I didn't know either Dave, talk about times changing, the phrase to me means getting there in spite of the opposition or words similar....seems even innocent words and phrases years ago are becoming 'rude'. Similarly to me, being stoned meant drunk now a completely different meaning I've been told! Yoiks!
Problem I think is people want to use different terms for actions that the original words were not meant to mean .Just like these panel shows the people are encouraged to laugh at what so called comedians say not even getting the joke .The English language is getting corrupted by these actions .Is either sex related or racist relate and it time it stopped .
Reminds me of the story about a group of people talking about the Grand Canyon on TV (or maybe the radio).
They were discussing if you could get down to the bottom of canyon.
One person said, "yes, I believe you can go down on a donkey"
To which the whole group broke out into giggles and could not talk for a few minutes.

There is a programme of all these gaffs
a sort of gaffy 'It'll be all right on the night'
Clearly this should be the sort of thing for you to avoid
There is a tradition of having to sleep with the director to get a part on a film and this is replayed in a few scenes in 'Klute'
Darryl F Zanuck ( a director ) was so "good" at this and kept keep-sakes ( dirty boy !) that one starlet threw her bra at him and said here that is what you want !
weird I know for us men....

"Beat off" is another word for Masturbate.
Now read that bit again where and substitute 'masturbate' for 'beat off' in the question interviewer Susanna Reid asks actor Dan Stevens...
"Did you have to beat off a lot of American men to get this part?"
Hollywood is known for its strange practices. Hohum.
