The sufferer will often use their own fingers or a long narrow instrument to induce vomiting e.g. The origins of the phrase is derived from the practice of forcing oneself to vomit, a typical trait of bulimia nervosa. If someone gags you, they tie a piece of cloth around your mouth in order to stop you from speaking or shouting. and the song I just found that I love: Pointer Sisters "He Turned Me Out" for the Action Jackson soundtrack.A gag is something such as a piece of cloth that is tied around or put inside someone’s mouth in order to stop them from speaking. Granted I didn't grow up in the valley, but no one in the Midwest actually used it. Plus to be honest I don't think it was used in everyday slang, i think it was more kinda of a parody. I think it was in the movie of the same name. Gag me with a spoon is from Valley Girl by Frank Zappa and his daughter Moon Unit.

Here's the video-check out Vanity and Carl Weathers (he was HOT back then!) flirting and playing pool in a bar: and the song I just found that I love: Pointer Sisters "He Turned Me Out" for the Action Jackson soundtrack. Here are just a few songs that use some version of "Turn out/turn you out/turn me out": I'm asking this because if the answer is yes, then damn the r&b 80's songs were filled with adult content, and I would be surprised if people back then allowed songs to have those lyrics if they knew they were that so sexually suggestive! I mean I'm not just talking about singers who purposely wrote explicit stuff-the phrase "turn out" was a commonly used lyric for many singers/groups who weren't overtly or explicitly sexual. Those 2 meanings, however are extremely provocative, so I'm asking those of you around in the 80's, do the first 2 definitions found in urbandictionary match the meaning of "turn you out/turn me out" back in the 80's, or has the meaning changed over time? I looked up the meaning of "turn out" in and I think the first 2 definitions make the most sense to me. I know this doesn't mean the same thing as " turn on/turn you on/turn me on". One term that we find in a TON of 80's r&b songs BUT that isn't used in present times is the phrase " Turn out/turn you out/turn me out". additionally, today, the word "nasty" is often used to describe someone/something that is considered to be gross, and this meaning didn't exist in the 80's. another meaning of "Nasty" that was used back then (which implied a badass coolness), isn't used so much today. That meaning was around back in the 80's and still exists today. Now, one slang meaning of "Nasty" implied that someone (usually a woman) was freaky in the bedroom. In another example, we have the word " Nasty". I can always guess what the slang words/phrases mean, but sometimes I just really want to know the sense of these slang words.įor example, I haven't found this in any song yet, but I know a common phrase used to express disgust with something back in the 80's was " Gag me with a spoon". As y'all know, I've been listening to lots of 80's tracks in the last year because I'm getting bored with the stuff we have now (I still listen to current hits, but just not all the time).Īnyway, every now and then I'll come across lyrics in certain songs that I know are slang from the 80's era that aren't really used anymore or have a different meaning in present times.
