Question about Flo

[DdBob]

When Flo said "Kiss my Grits"



was she secretly selling her own grits to customers that she made at home and brought to work? I mean Mel was obviously the cook at the diner so technically it should have been "Kiss Mels Grits" since he in fact was the one making the grits? I often wonder if this was why Flo left in 1980 due to a rift arisen between her and mel after Mel found out Flo was selling grits on the side?

I'm concerned that Flo would use granular corn meal as a euphemism for anything.

"Grits" is waitress slang for all the crumbs and bugs and stuff that accumulates in their body hair during the course of a day.

It was a different time back then. People were not as aware of "Big Corn"

Only boys can sell grits. Says so right in the fine print.

I always thought 'kiss my grits' was a sexual innuendo. Like 'Sit on it' from Happy Days.

I thought this thread was about "that" time of month

I always assume it was a way to get around tv censorship of the era. I always though she meant kiss my tits.

the most obvious 'normal' phrase used in the contexts she used it in would be kiss my ass. Like @dmn23 said, using cornmeal mush in place of that conjures up some concerning mental images
