community soap

[electribe]

what is the definition of "community soap" ?

it is in tv show "Veronica Mars".

[I'm With Stupid]

They're probably referring to the soap in a public bathroom.

Not a teacher.

I`ve found the script.

VERONICA: Why were you in Lilly's room?
WEEVIL: What better house for some B&E?
VERONICA: I know about you and Lilly. I know about the letters.
WEEVIL: Yeah? [Sitting up, a bit pissed off] Well, whatever you know, that's not all there is to it.
VERONICA: [Standing] I tell you that I'm close to finding Lilly's killer and two hours later, you're breaking into her room. What do you expect me to think?
WEEVIL: [Angry] Look, I told you what I was doing there. Now if you don't wanna believe me, that's on you, okay? You gonna help me or not?
VERONICA: No.

Veronica turns and gets to the door leading out of the cells.

WEEVIL: All right, all right, hold on!

Weevil stands and moves to the edge of the cell. Veronica stops by the door and looks back.

WEEVIL: Diamond ring.
VERONICA: You broke in to steal a ring?
WEEVIL: I was trying to get it back. It-it's my mother's and she was saving it for me as an engagement ring. At one time I was dumb enough to think I wanted Lilly to have it.
VERONICA: Find it?
WEEVIL: No. Look, uh, the Kanes want me crucified for this and now that I'm 18...
VERONICA: Good-bye juvie. Hello COMMUNITY SOAP
WEEVIL: [Whispering] Yeah.

Cut to a new lost dog notice rolling off the printer at Mars Investigations. Mandy takes it and compares it with her effort.

MANDY: Now I see how crappy mine was.
VERONICA: It was heartfelt crappy. So tell me more about the night Chester disappeared. Your front gate was open?

[I'm With Stupid]

Ah, in that context, it's referring to the communal soap used in prison showers. There's a running joke about "dropping the soap" in American prison showers.

The contrast is with "juvie". Veronica is saying 'This time, you won't be going to a juvenile detention centre; you'll be going to a real adult prison".
