[quote=TheManWithAUsername][quote=Anonymous]I went back and reread the post where you meant to ask this and even now knowing what you meant to ask that post is ambiguous. I did read.[/quote]
I don't understand what you're talking about. The Slate writer and I contend Christie was referring to oral sex, not fighting - that's why your criticism made no sense.

[quote=Anonymous]You are looking for a specific that isn't there.[/quote]
I'm challenging his defenders to find one; I agree that it isn't there if it's a fighting reference, which is why that interpretation makes no sense. There is a specific if it's a sexual reference - "the heckler," as in "the heckler will be going down (on some unidentified male) tonight."

[quote=Anonymous]He was challenged by a heckler and he said something that was the verbal equivalent of hiking up his balls.[/quote]
Right (to the degree that I understand what "hiking up his balls" means). The issue is what he chose to say. Michael Richards was challenged by a heckler a few years back - he gets a pass for what he said?

[quote=Anonymous]If you think this is a question with a coherent answer, what's your guess?[/quote]
Seriously: what's with the reading problem? I posted an entire article with my "guess" (it's a conclusion, not a guess). I made clear in my first post that I contend it's a reference to a sexual act, that he was clearly implying that the heckler would be sucking someone's dick that night, if that's clear enough for you. Somehow you (alone) have missed all that, so here it is again very clearly:
- he suggested that someone or something would be "going down tonight"
- in general, "going down" is either a reference to conflict or oral sex, arguably more commonly the former
- if it's a reference to conflict, it only makes sense if there was some conflict to be resolved that very night
- since there wasn't (and since the whole little bit was full of gender references), we can only reasonably conclude that it was a sexual reference.

Tell me where that's faulty.[/quote]
