Sit on it Potsie (TWYDS)
You guys all remember Happy Days right? Well, they used the expression "sit on it" a lot. Everyone was always sitting on it all the time except for Fonzie of course, he never sat on it, EVER!. Actually, I think there was some major drama when Ritchie forgot who he was and actually told Fonzie to sit on it once. It took all the self control he could muster but Fonzie refrained from punching Ritchie out. It was at that moment Ritchie realized what a creep he had become by hanging out with his new friends and realized he didn't want to join their stupid gang even if they did get all the choice chicks and went to all the boss parties...........but that's all beside the point. My whole life I've understood that "sit on it" was a "dis" of some sort but never questioned what it's actual meaning was.
My question to you good people is this: What is someone telling you to sit on when they tell you to "sit on it"? Is it was I think it is cause that's really about as dirty of a comment you could tell someone. How could a wholesome show such as Happy Days get away with a comment like that. I'm sure it was actually a real 50's expression so it's historically accurate but it's still a fairly extreme statement to go throwing around at people.
If any of you can do some homework and ask your parents what it meant I would appreciate it. I may even write a short poem about you on LJ.
