there was no snap in his turtle Hi, The text I quoted is an excerpt of Friends, an American sitcom. What does 'there was no snap in his turtle' mean? Some Chinese say it means to have sex. I think so from the context. If it is true, why does it refer to sex? What are 'snap' and 'turtle'?
Thank you! Quote:
[Scene: Iridium, Monica is working as Frannie enters.]
Frannie: Hey, Monica!
Monica: Hey Frannie, welcome back! How was Florida?
Frannie: You had sex, didn’t you?
Monica: How do you do that?
Frannie: Oh, I hate you, I’m pushing my Aunt Roz through Parrot Jungle and you’re having sex! So? Who?
Monica: You know Paul?
Frannie: Paul the Wine Guy? Oh yeah, I know Paul.
Monica: You mean you know Paul like I know Paul?
Frannie: Are you kidding? I take credit for Paul. Y’know before me, there was no snap in his turtle for two years.
[Scene: Central Perk, everyone but Rachel is there.]
Joey: (sitting on the arm of the couch)Of course it was a line!
Monica: Why?! Why? Why, why would anybody do something like that?
