friends

random question that just popped into my head, but in an episode of Friends, pheobe calls someone (a gf of one of the guys?) a chipie. What did she mean by this?

[Quizmonster]

Assuming you mean 'chippy', this is an American word for an overly flirtatious or promiscuous woman, that is a bit of a...now AB probably will not allow me to write this word, so let me explain that you can make raspberry or strawberry ones!

[Artemis]

Oh, she's not a carpenter then?

[Octavius]

She was a cheesecake??!

[Quizmonster]

A bit of cheesecake, certainly, O, by the sound of it! I'm probably dated by using 'cheesecake' thus, what with that being a 1930s-60s slang-word for an attractive woman or for female sexual attractiveness generally. (The male equivalent was 'beefcake' for some reason. Sadly both have now been replaced by the hermaphroditic 'fit'.) Clearly, if she was a promiscuous tart - apparently we can now say that - she fits the bill.

[Octavius]

So she was well fit not minging?!

[Golden Shred]

Quite unnecessarily this question is repeated in Phrases and Sayings.

Watch out AB Police about

yes indeed Golden Shred, sorry about that. I posted the question without thinking about what category I was in at the time, then when I realised I thought Id post it in a more appropriate section. Thank everyone
