“Rusty slept in his underpants last night”


Ok I’m guessing that’s an allusion to the fact that Rusty probably spanked one out the previous night but what does that have to do with sleeping in his underpants? You can not beat it and still sleep in your underpants or is there something I’m not getting?

Yup, you didn't get it. You should avoid any films which are rated R

Or maybe your “college professor” would be willing to educate me?

Sounded like Audrey was just trying to bust balls. Maybe she's used to seeing him in PJ's or something...

That makes sense, thank you. I figured she was teasing him over bopping his baloney considering he was calling her out over smoking a doober but I guess not.

Sounds more like Rusty was busting his balls.!! LOL

reply

LOL I was about to say the same thing.

I just couldn't imagine punching the clown in the same proximity of my sister. That's how bullshit on PornHub starts...

Yes, I think it's about masturbation. It alludes to two scenes that came just before.

The first was Audrey smoking dope with cousin Vicky, and the second was Rusty looking at dirty magazines with cousin Dale. Rusty asked Dale what he did with the magazines, and Dale asked him if he'd ever 'bopped his baloney'. Rusty seemed confused by this, and the scene cut away, where presumably Dale explained what he meant.

And then the next night, Rusty and Audrey spent the night together alone in a tent. The next morning, they were arguing about who had to sit in the car next to Aunt Edna. Rusty looked at Audrey and put his fingers to his lips, imitating smoking dope. He was threating to tell thier parents about the smoking if she didn't sit next to Edna. She retaliated by saying, "For your information, Rusty slept in his underpants last night." Before she could finish, Rusty grabbed her head, trying to get her to shut up.

I think the inference was that she had more to say about that, but he stopped her.

There's nothing "wrong" with it but......if you're sharing a room or tent in this case with your sister......Disgusting, much??? lol I think that was the point of Audrey teasing Rusty.
