Remember watching football years ago with my then girlfriend and realising we were there for completely different reasons.

@drewnogal saidAhh, okay. I had thought that your phrase 'well covered' meant something like that, but wasn't sure. In that case, we do have many 'well covered' here as well. In the US, black women as a group are more well-known for their larger bums, and there are those guys (of all races) who go for that.
Well covered is my polite way of saying that they are carrying a bit more weight. Partly down to the fast food outlets I think.
A more vulgar phrase here is having 'more junk in the trunk'. Doesn't make much sense to Europeans until one realizes that in the US, a 'trunk' on a car is the same as the 'boot'. In the US, a 'boot' is a wheel clamp, designed to keep the car from being driven.
Ahh, variety is the spice of life, as they say.

@eladar saidNot really. That's just an excuse, like being 'big-boned'.
In the US our diet is heavily influenced by how we feed our livestock to fatten them up.
Most obesity in the US is down to portion control, or the lack of it. Granted, if you eat nothing but Big Macs, you're going to have health issues. But you also don't need to eat two or three of them, along with a shed load of fries.

@drewnogal saidAnd cyclists. OMG.
I have a fascination for the amount of thigh flesh that the average male rugby player carries 😮

@indonesia-phil saidAnd just looking is free, in more ways than one.
If men didn't look at women in a certain way there wouldn't be any babies, it's how the whole thing starts. Whether one acts upon it of course is another matter, and that's where things get complicated.
I do get turned off once the drooling starts, tho.

@suzianne saidCyclists are skinny, proper cyclists anyway, you’re probably talking about sprinters in track cycling, out on the road going up a hill those legs just hold you back.
And cyclists. OMG.

@suzianne saidWe have enough American tv to have heard junk in the trunk on numerous occasions, I’d say most American phrases we’ve at least heard before. Get the odd one though that’s new.

On the black bums note, the phrase once you go black you never go back comes to mind 😂 great bums generally but not a fan of the Afro style hair, a lot of them shave and use wigs which I find interesting.

@great-big-stees saidAnother good one is "rubenesque". Not generally a compliment.
Thinking it a compliment I once called my ex voluptuous. Turned out to not be so.😲

Ah, so shake your booty is a reference to trying to remove a wheel clamp. Now it all makes sense. 😁

@relentless-red saidNo, no. A booty is totally different.

Shake it!
Probably NSFW.
